EVE

[marauder]

Theres several things stopping me from playing EVE.

1) Nothing in my house can run it.

2) Lack of money to pay the subscription.

3) Lack of time to devote to it.

4) Got fed up with the holy-then-thou attitude and bitchness on the EVE forums, if I want that sort of thing I'd be in an office job.

5) Extreme lag when I was playing meant that doing anything other then mining meant I'd lose my ship.

Losing a ship to a mistake or underestimating opponents is one thing, losing a ship because of the 50+ enemies, gas clouds, not to mention horde of objects (wrecks, roids, ancient stations) to render gets old fast.

I did find a nice little game (darkspace), tightknit community feel, they didn't make new players feel like fools for asking questions etc. Reason I'm not playing it? It crashed/kicked me off the server everything single time I got into a PvP fight, after three times I took the hint and uninstalled it.
