Strong players, good pilots, but RL challenges have them letting accounts lapse as they don't seem to have the time to PLEX up.<br /><br />Often they were hardcore casual - working in small corps/solo efforts, usually mission runners, pirates, WH-light dwellers. <br /><br />Is it a sign that small corp/solo players just fade away because large alliance play is the only long term draw? <br /><br />Is this a sign that CCP should be looking to change small corp/solo gameplay to entice these numerous EVE fans to resub (or replex) ?<br /><br />While getting new players is very important, not loosing these EVE players should also be important. These players already are hooked, they have extensive holdings in the game, and they can provide anchors and stability for new recruits in these small corps.<br /><br />Knug Lidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168621175894976018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-39020138589300082582013-05-24T08:24:31.225-04:002013-05-24T08:24:31.225-04:00I'm Hardcore Casual / Helpful vet (should add ...I'm Hardcore Casual / Helpful vet (should add something like that do the list imo)<br /><br />Helpful veteran: Someone that knows about most playstyles and a how they work in the game and is happy to help anyone that express a desire to learn more/something new but doesn't necessarily go out of their way to help people.

But hey I'm a broke college student, where else can you get this much entertainment for FREE! <br /><br />I would argue a bit with your timescale though at the beginning. Maybe that is how most people go through eve, but I'd say in my case after about a year and a half I was to the done most things phase, and by 2 years I was more/less a vet. I wouldn't say I've progressed experience wise a tremendous amount in the past year, more so on a personal, what am I doing with my eve life standpoint, than in game knowledge/experience.<br /><br />Though it's weird, to me at least, I'm going through a mid life crisis in eve it seems. Hopefully that doesn't mean I only have 3 more years to play.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580495287944927600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-6723170671523942742013-05-24T06:26:13.960-04:002013-05-24T06:26:13.960-04:00Hardcore Casual for me.

For the last few months I have generally only logged on for strat ops and CTAs. I leave Jabber up and when somebody calls, I log right in and join the fleet. <br /><br />But since my alliance is pushing participation in such things, the fact that I click the participation link and fly the alliance colors puts me in good standing for now. Or so I am told.Wilhelm Arcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033496821708933394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-17932517602652017872013-05-23T20:00:14.444-04:002013-05-23T20:00:14.444-04:00newbie, but i have seen the fall of null sec coali...newbie, but i have seen the fall of null sec coalitions(DRC), the sheer pettiness of addict metagamers.I know industry and it's in and outs, and for that i thank dav, willie white and inverse(looking them up in game won't get you much of anywhere). i would say that i did get addicted and am now more of a casual/metagamer casual. i would say that just having people to talk to and having flown in every kind of space does that.(58+ jumps to high though low and null(with 500+ km of bubbles) in an itty 5(only to get ganked in high sec)). i can say this, EVE is real, it will give you the chance to meet the best people, and show you the power of being the worst. EVE is one game where the results of your choices are shown by the respect you get, or the lack of it. In EVE you passion is your power. stay true to what you believe, be it ganking newbies or miners, or building a jump bridge network used by hundreds.Patrick B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12523990319348804676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-4138592726889432922013-05-23T19:19:25.069-04:002013-05-23T19:19:25.069-04:00Casual Casual I guess.

But I never seem to be able to find enough bite-size fun to get me to reup at the end. EVE tends to be an all or nothing creature I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
