When the game peaked around 2011 ,EvE felt more of an unpaid second job without pay. But what a job it was! Once you get sucked in, you could spend several months per year playing EvE.
Luckily, CCP screwed things up quite badly, and I lost interest. If they hadn't, I'd probably be stuck playing EvE rather than living in the real world. :D
- yvdriess 4y agoInterestingly, I've also seen a lot of EVE friends that have gotten jobs because of their EVE connections (logistics, computer security, state dept, ...)
- paulmd 4y agoOne of the diplomats killed in Benghazi 10 years ago was also a diplomat for one of the major EVE alliances (and a moderator on the forums from which they draw their members) and was on alliance comms the night when it happened. Very nice guy who led an interesting life. https://www.wired.com/2012/09/vilerat/ https://www.wired.com/2012/09/vilerat/
- yvdriess 4y agoYes, he's the reason I listed state department. Sean's influence on the EVE alliances' diplomacy is still felt today. Diplomacy is really seriously and is a legitimate career in EVE.
