Moving On…
I’m afraid, after much consideration, I’ve decided to move away from Knowledge Stick Station. There are a variety of reasons for my move, which I’m planning on going into…For now suffice to say my blog title is going to be even more unrepresentative of my new activities! I’m still going to keep in touch with KSS however, as they’re a good bunch of people, and I might move back there in the future.
The Other Game: Quake Live
The EVE universe is an incredible place, and I can’t help but be hopelessly in love with it. It’s staggeringly vast, full of thousands of star systems, and players who inhabit them. It’s stratospherically complex, a multifaceted universe which you could visit for years and still not understand in it’s totality. Around every corner, after every jump, there is something new to discover, to learn, to experience. Nearly most importantly of all, every action has consequence: every fleet movement and every trade, every PvP kill and every contract scam, each is a a long term, well planned course of action you consider, and then reap the benefits or suffer the consequences.
That’s also why I hate EVE, and why, when I can’t stand another minute of travelling through space looking for a lonely target to kill, or when I’ve harvested gas for hours and I’m bored out of my brain, I tend to come back to Quake Live. It’s a game that’s as far away from EVE as humanly possible, both in terms of gaming philosophy and mechanics.
I absolutely love it.
