• • The problem with this game through the eyes of a pvper!

  • Just read the initial post. What a load of... PVP in EVE is not for solo mongrels any more. Solo flyers die to 3 random ships most of the time anyway (yeah, yeah there are ubers that can solo 3 shuttles every now and then, I know). If you want to expirience EVE you need to join a corp and then get your avatar into 0.0 space and join fleets. Like in rl armies, all ships in a fleet serve a purpose and should have a defined role (if they don't then they are in the wrong place). And yo ucan fill one of those roles in just a month. Train EW (blackbird) or train logistic t1 cruiser (osprey, exqueror) and be usefull. Yes you will not be able to solo 20 battleships but you will help your fleet to win 50vs50 fight if you do your thing right.

    EVE has a steep learning curve but once you got it it's yours to stay forever. And if your ego suffers from lack of skillpoints on your char you can always make isk and buy one of the chars someone trained for 2 years. EVE economy offers unlimited profitable opportunities. You can make billions in few months and save 2 years of training.

    So don't spread lies about EVE. It's not for everyone. If you prefer hack and slash or some endless grind wow type games then you will hate EVE.

    And exactly how many current and active users does this "popular" game have?

     

    And not how many accounts, but active current users.

    Oh EU is not "popular" when compared to WOW or AoC. Even EVE surpases number of active players.

    But I know you can see 100 people in neas or sweat camp at any time of the day, mostly noobs. I also am a member of the soc with 15 people who are active daily. I would say some 4000-5000 people are very active players and another 5000 is semi-active. If I was to go trough all the high-activity areas like Twin, PA, Nea and sweatcamp, and then check up on all the high activity hunting areas like argo lands above Twin and CP, and then check CND for active miners and hunters I would think I could count 1000-1500 people who are there for all to see.  

    But I could be wrong as MA never realeases official numbers (or any other usefull information at all, they are very secretive) and EU world is big (for 5000 people that is).

    LMAO. I'm not calling you a liar. But seeing this just reminded me of my experience in the game. Almost everyone you run into and talk to in the game will tell you some total BS like all the money they have made or all the thousands of dollars they have made due to their "uber" skills and "mighty brains". And you just KNOW when you're playing looking at them watching them work/play that they are sooooo full of crap.
    Just look at the post above. He tells you how "99% of the players" will lose money or whatever but not him, oh ofcourse not. He MADE $2,000. Lmfao. Ofcourse. He is in that special 1% (that you'll run into with 90% of the players) that have made a fortune in the game.
    Pretty funny stuff. Atleast I admitted the truth that I lost over $200 USD in about a months time in the game. {winks} But I know... it's 'cuz I'm just a dumbass "Nub" and cuz you're infinately more intelligent then myself. {cough}
    Hehe. Sorry, just had to point that out. I had forgot about how 90% of the players in the game will stand around broke as hell in the game but tell you how many hundreds or thousands of dollars they have made playing it. Pretty funny shit actually. Hehe.

    ROFL! Dude find me ingame and I will show you my ped card. I dont care if you believe me or not. The facts that I have put out stand. Peopel are loosing money like mad in that game. And are paying huge amounts of cash for virtual items. And I did make money but I worked hard for it, I didn't gamble like the others. It has nothing to do with being intelligent, it has all to do with understanding bussiness of EU. But I'm just a small fish compared to big winners like Neverdie or Akoz or Neomaven, the big land holders.
    I gave you the truth now you do with it whatever you want. I understand you being pissed off for loosing money but that is entirely your fault.

    How would showing me how many PEDs you've made in the game prove how much money you've made? That wouldn't prove crap because you could have easily invested ten times more then you currently have as a balance in the game. But I know.. just like all the other people unwilling to face the truth and likely their own gambling..err I mean Entropia Universe Addiction, you'll tell me you invested only $10 or some other total outright lie.

    Call it what you want. This game is WORSE then gambling. Atleast with a slot machine, you can see its a simple gambling device. People use Entropia Universe to basically gamble, and it IS nicely disguised as a game, so people USE that as an EXCUSE. "Oh, it's no big deal that I've BLOWN $5,000 buying PEDS for this game one day I'm gonna strike it rich" must be a line people actually convince themselves of in this game.

    It's hard for real world gamblers to admit their gambling addiction, and I can easily see that this game is ever bit as bad... actually it's probably WORSE. Again, this is the brilliance of Mindark as I said in my first post in this thread above. They have created a monster which only feeds peoples own addictive behavior and they are sitting back making a fortune off of peoples natural addictive behavior.

    See look at the guys post in response to me. He acts like he spent way less then what he has made in the game. I'm calling BULLSHIT. Then he acts like I and the thousands of players who at least admit to losing money for a short time in this game "idiots" or something by saying "Yeh I'd be mad too if I lost money in the game". All I can say to this is whatever man. The sooner you admit to yourself how much you're pouring into this game VS what you are actually getting in return, the better off you'll be. If you wanna pay $100 or $200 or $500 a month or w/e you spend for an online game, that's perfectly fine and your choice. But atleast be honest with yourself and stop trying to act like because of your super intelligence blah blah blah that you are making mad $$ playing this virtual casino mmo.

    Man you got some serious issues, don't you?

    I made clean 2000$ on this game by hard work, out of an initial investment of 300$. But I'm aware its a money pit for most players. And that's it, no hidden agendas, no hidden intentions. In fact, I strongly suggest all who have gambling problems to stay out of EU as I have seen people blow away 1000s of peds in one day on a bad luck streak.

    End of story.

    But you should start working on your social skills as they suck big time. Saying to me that I'm talking bullshit just becouse you lost money in EU is BULLSHIT itself. Get a chill-pill and stick with WOW.
