do people still play that game?

i remember getting nuked when we decided to raid some random inactive clan and their big clan buddies got mad at us. good times.
i remember rage on the forums, an unwinnable war in defience of the common playstyle of "collect taxes/buy infra". they couldn't make us kneel, not for the 11 day campaign did we yield. we are free.
Those forums did make me lawl. I recall getting in trouble for acknowledging it was, in fact, a game and no one playing was fit to run a lemonade stand, let alone a country.
lots of butthurt indeed. My nation got completely raped though better to go out with a bang than drifting away like a bitch.jord wrote:

i can't believe like 15 people here let the 15 year old me run the alliance (into the dirt). hahahahaha
well we did piss people off so that was successful.jord wrote:

we just wanted to get into a fair fight and then those mcxa mongs waded in crying about defence pacts and shit.
I wish I could slap my however-old-I-was-self for spending as many nights as I did waiting for the game clock to tickover so I could collect taxes or whatever for that shitty game.
not even sure i've heard of that game
well at least jord ended it for us. but we did have fun. good times.DesertFox- wrote:

yeah mcxa was being bitches defending their shitty little protectorate. too bad mostly harmless didn't back us
It just reminds me of an even worse version of Eve with all the mindless gathering of resources and idiotic clan politics, especially when they've all got wikis that they write as if it were actually important.
lol was that like one of those browser games that took you ages to save up stuff and 'take turns' or whatever? i remember those being popular back in school, sneaking a go whilst in a class with a free computer or whatever.
you could only do most stuff a day at a time. it was horrific. i freed at least a dozen bf2s's from that game with my lust for conflict.Uzique The Lesser wrote:

I enjoyed the politics of eve. the meta game, if you will.

EVE was fun to read about and that was it. it was like playing with the colour-highlight option on microsoft excel. the gameplay fucking sucks. EVE's concept appeals to so many people, but the actual in-game experience of those concepts is bland and slow. it especially suffered from a terrible beginners' set-up for new players. the tutorials and 'welcome to EVE' part was probably one of the worst trial experiences i have ever had in an MMO. and i am far from averse to having to learn new things, or do something difficult/requiring skill. EVE was just complexity for complexities' sake.Adams_BJ wrote:

also it totally sucked that someone could whup your ass or fly a bigger ship just because they had been idling their skill levelling with a subscription for a few years. i like MMO's where your gear and your ability is determined by how much/how well you play. not just the fact you've accrued 10 billion points because you've paid your £15 a month for 4 years.

I think you would enjoy the meta game rather than the game play uzi. I reckon if you invested say, 12 months into skills training, and started or joined are corp and made your role a diplomatic/tactician/admiral and limit your pew pew lazar time to a minimum and just tell people what to do it'd be right up your alley. And I think if you spent a bit learning the mechanics you'd be good at it hey mate.
I suck at the shooty tooty bit because there is just too much to keep track of at a time (managing modules, strengths weaknesses, roles, manual flying and whatnot). But I think I would enjoy it for a longer period if I was meta gaming.
