As listeners to the podcast will know I’m a little burnt out on Eve. This has nothing to do with the game itself, I’m just burnt out and need a break. The problem is that I’m the CEO of a corporation and so have responsibilities.
Eve is now 5 years old, but I’ve not played 100% of that time. I was there at the start though and for the last few years I’ve been playing all the time.
This got me thinking: do I need a holiday? I have no idea what I want to do personally in Eve (I have ideas for the corp, but I could do that on our forums without playing) and factional warfare has reminded me that I don’t want to put in the effort for PvP. I can’t stand mining, missions bore me nowadays and, well, what’s left?
Yes, I need a break. Badly.
And yet I can’t quit. I’m going to hit 60million skill points this month and I can’t stop training. I can’t even stop logging in to see what the corp is doing.
Why? That's a topic for tomorrow.
Why the delay? Since I'm probably burnt out the hardest thing in the world would be for me to write a blog post a day for the whole month. CrazyKinux has come up with a
mad idea, and I thought I'd try the iron man version of one Eve post per day for a month. I don't post enough and aren't focused enough to be part of the eve blog pack, but how hard can it be when you don't even feel like playing? Let's find out! Just 30 more subjects to go!
