There are lots of places to read about the game play, and economy, written by people who write, so I won't do that here. I do like the game, and I like the way the economy works. I really like age of sail games, and this captures the need for tactics/skill over progression level well enough. Long term prospects I can't attest to though. I haven't really been in the PvP part. That's the endgame (not that you can't participate whenever), so how you feel about that is key. I’ve been playing PotBS for a very short while.

Probably because it's beta and that means pretty laggy, I crash in the middle of fights too often, and I think I might just suck at the game. I'm installing and resubbing my VG account today though.

When it came out a few of us from PKer.org started on the FFA PvP server. One dudes still playing and trying to get others to return. I could probably get you a buddy key to try it for a week or something. I’m thinkin about it. When it came out a few of us from PKer.org started on the FFA PvP server.

Discovered that money/a big ship isn't good enough, you need more skills, always more skills. Learned that after the money grind, the rest of the mechanics are boring too. You end up spending 3 months worth of subscription money to learn the game isn't that exciting in just one month, so you can move on to something that actually will be fun...after the grind is over. What that game is I'm not sure. Maybe give the Pirates of the Burning Sea open beta a try. If you had just sold the timecard in the first place you would have skipped the obviously boring ISK grind.

Be at ease, go play WoW for a while, then come back to EVE and embrace the game! That or, give yourself new goals and try to reach them! Change career, go and explore eve, trade, mine, gatecamp, anything to change your routine and spice it up again. Have fun! You need an EVE-break buddy.
