I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it's a bad game. Don't do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you'll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent's cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

Like...legit? I really enjoy it. Buuuuut I couldn't tell you why. The whole thing is literally a grindfest. Want to craft a cart so you can haul some logs? Better grind carpentry for two days. Want to grind carpentry? Gotta search every patch of gravel you can find for a few hours to get iron and flint so you can make the tools to be able to chop trees.

It's a slog, and yet I play it quite often.....

I've been building a house for over a month now. Trash game but you better believe I'm finishing that thing.

I had a house half finished the 2nd to last time I played. Work got really busy, and didn't have time to get on the server for a week and a bit. When I got back to it, the damn thing had mostly decayed and I couldn't be assed to start over.

Oh goodness I have no idea why I spent hundreds of hours in this game! No graphics, combat was trash, you had to make arrows one by one, took literal hours to level the ground, and it was the most P2W thing I've ever played on top of having to pay monthly premium.

Why did I spend so many nights staying up late trying to get skills up??

The only thing I could come up with was that I'm clearly a masochist, with a touch of Stockholm syndrome with that game.

Yeah I hard core played that game. Also the fact that on the "Freedom" servers almost everything was owned, and has been for a decade. When I first played over 12 years ago you had to walk for hours to find anything you were allowed to interact with.

Yeah, I started on Unlimited, so never had to deal with the BS that Online players all complain about constantly. The not being able to find unclaimed land thing though.....fuckin hell....
