yep. when i was finished, about 14 months of playing the game, i had logged in roughly 65 days into the game... which is about 1560 hours. that was considered light also, there were some people that had more than 3 times that amount when i quit in february.

it is true though, that the game is much more fun when everyone is at 60 with somewhat equal gear. it becomes less fun when the unemployed people living in mom's basement play for 35 hours a day, comes out with the best gear ever, and kills everyone.

whatever. im finished with that, i am looking for a good new popular game that i can use a new g5 and a new n52. its always fun playing with u guys


Hey, you might want to try out EVE online, since they have a 14-day free trial. It's an MMORPG, but without levels, only skills. You get to pilot one (or more) ships and travel around the galaxy, doing whatever it is you choose (bounty hunt, mine, etc.). It's also one of the best-looking games I've seen in a while :D

I played eve about a year or so ago, had some fun with it. But i mined and it got boring real quick. I like the skill system, doesnt require 5 hours a day of play time to progress. You playing it now Av? I ran it by non before we reactivated our WoW accounts but he didnt seem too into it :P

If i ever went back, i would run missions or pirate, arrrr :twisted:

It looks cool. One day I would like to try it. It reminds me of the game that gave it it's graphical look, Homeworld.

Homeworld 1 & 2 were outstanding rts games. Ground breaking in many areas.

If you ever want a great rts try them out, you can get them cheap at this point. My favorite rts to date would have to be rise of nations. Talk about hours of fun in a box.

I can't remember if I mentioned this fatty but if your looking for a great single player game, look no further than Half Life 2. One of the best.

Yeah, I'm into it a bit, seeing as how they've added a crapload of stuff into it (not too long ago, they added a new class of ships, Titans, that can destroy ships in an entire system with doomsday weapons), and since all of my friends were playing it, I decided to give it a whirl. Needless to say, I like it. :D

You have lots of isk? Hook me and non up :P

When i left they were still only talking about titans, none had been implemented yet. I notice that there are a lot more ship types than when i left. Looks like they enhanced it a lot. Do you mission run?

I'm still on the *cough* training missions, but slowly I will get through it. I did get 1 mil ISK to start off with, which gave me a 150k ISK frigate :D

Ya same here fatty I got that the first day on steam I had a coupon to get it free when I bought my video card. That game took a year or longer until it was available to DL. I think VALVE got hacked and the source code was pwned. Outlook vulnerabilities and key recorders FTW. Never finished it but I thought the graphics were nice. :twisted:
