Great. Another “Blockchain is great and we swear it is not just another way to monetize the game with microtransactions and macrotransactions” game.
It sounded interesting until the blockchain part…
I lost 9 months of my life to EVE Online. Going to pass on this one.
I swapped playing eve when I realized one job is plenty, and the other paid in euros instead of ISK.
Only 9 months? I lost many years to this game. Great fun playing with friends but once everyone quit it became such a grind.
Same. I still miss it. I quit after the main FC and leader of my corp quit. The whole group kind of fell apart without his leadership. Had some damn good times, though. Peak EVE was something unlike anything else I’ve been apart of in gaming.
Don’t know the current state of the game, though. It was kind of on a decline when I quit, in terms of how the updates were changing the game for the worse.
Went back to it last month after a 10 years yatus.
Game still here, with a lot of changes since.
However, it’s still requiring a lot of time an commitment. And I realized that I don’t have either to give to a video game now.
I did see it got a recent uptick in concurrent players, so hopefully the game is on the right track again. I’d really hate for it to die.
You’re right though, you really have to view it as a hobby, not a video game.
We all miss Nivlac Hita. He kept fweddit running.
Blockchain is obviously needed if we want the Metaverse to be decentralized and not centralized like in Ready Player One. Blockchain is not bad itself, but bad and toxic stuff can be implemented using blockchain.
