EVE Online...
It's an amazing game with an even more amazing community. Each game update is free and constantly evolving gameplay. Honestly, I'd be playing it right now if it wasn't a full time job to get the most out of it. That's the only real downfall about it.
Perhaps, but I never really consider that as much of an option anymore due to the prices of PLEX. Back in the day I could easily afford a PLEX within one to two weeks of solo work. Especially when salvaging became big not that long ago.
I'm referring to holding and contesting territory beyond the watchful insta-gib guns of CONCORD, which was extremely taxing to my band of comrades. Eventually I quit and did my own thing before tricking myself in to losing interest due to time management.
Great... Now I feel like playing it again.
