Eve Online: I was There

[Memphetic]

No no no, I mean the reaction was similar to that :P My trial ran out... didn't make enough ISK to buy a PLEX...

I don't feel bad for PL, their tactics involve making people stay logged out at the login screen in order to get on in a moments notice to completely blob the crap out of the unexpecting. There have even been RL police reports that PL has paid people in RL to cut the power from certain invidual's homes in order to gain an advantage in fleet battles. Keep it in the game!

that's how i know shit has gotten completely out of hand. aside from the fact that you have to earn enough $$$ whatever in-game so you can keep playing (which is bs in itself) when people get totally deranged about it--that's when i know it's not for me.

never touched WOW for the same reasons. diablo 2 was about the extent of "derangement" i dabble in.

shoving a remote up your ass because your mom deleted your WOW account--that's one thing. arranging for a power outage at someone's house--that's criminal. i don't game because i want EVEN MORE stress than i encounter in my daily life.

You don't have to, you are given the option and it only takes about 4-5 hours of playtime in order to make about 500 million isk (average cost to renew for a month) even if you're a noob

wow. only 4-5 hours to earn the in-game equivalent of $10 in the real world? that's like minimum wage before i was even born.

incidentally, i also have a problem with xbox live & wow....but that's neither here nor there.

I was mainly referring to a normal person who doesn't really have a solid way to make isk in the game. It is possible to make a couple billion isk a day without even having to log in at all. Well at least not everyday!
