- good for casuals?
tidusishi 12 years ago#1 is this game goof for casuals? i never quite understood the point to this game. is it fun later and just how does everything work? "My life for Aiur." |
jiffypop 12 years ago#2 Define casual, if you mean just logging in maybe once a week or so you're probably better off with something like LoL or WoT but, if you mean 2-3 hours a night then you can work with that. Poopsocking in this game tends to burn you out anyway in my experience. In terms of "how everything works" that's not really a question that you can ever really expect to know because there is a LOT to do in Eve I think I've posted this image here before but, this does a pretty good job of showing how much there is you can do http://endie.net/img/eve/eve-wtd.jpg The "point of the game" varies pretty widely on who you ask but for me Eve is about a game where the playerbase controls the world. (versus dev made content). The Devs merely give the tools for the players to create the universe they see fit. |
tidusishi (Topic Creator)12 years ago#3 Casual as in like 3-4 times a week for like maybe an hour or two a session. but are there still a lot of people playing? "My life for Aiur." |
jiffypop 12 years ago#4 Yes. Typical peak is about 50k during late euro/early us prime with 20k before downtime. |
Harvstr0fSorrow 12 years ago#5 The game is about PvP, plain and simple I took a stroll, and spied a maid, but Matron's duty stayed my blade. |
antoinejones 12 years ago#6 Harvstr0fSorrow posted... pvp? soo umm what abut the "carebear" server? My first time and day in Jeuno and the first 6 hours of it is spent staring at a chocobo's butt. |

Barrowhite 12 years ago#8 All 300,000 subscribers (And growing) reside on the single sharded server. Not only is EVE still growing in numbers 9 years after launch, it's also the biggest MMO you will have ever played. WoW might have had 12,000,000 subscribers, but they were all segregated. Not here. It's all one world. |
jiffypop 12 years ago#10 Wow's actually bleeding subscribers now (last number I saw was over a million subs lost) someone sent me a scroll of resurrection (free 7 day sub) so that I could see what its like now. Even from when I quit a year ago its a lot worse and I can easily see why people are leaving 1. The last raid tier of the current expansion is very weak so everyone got their T13 heroic sets and quit So while I doubt your average WoW player is going to start playing Eve it's probably not going to hurt Eve's sub numbers. |
