Mocam Aliastra Gallente Federation Likes received: Let's take EVE apart a bit and look at some of the pieces compared to other games - you decide if this sounds workable. First - "real-time training" You log in and place skills in a skill queue then log off.
Total time spent: 5 minutes? Log in, "insert" a shorter training time skill infront of that less than 1 day and it trains, with the longer skill still queued to continue incase you can't get online for a day or so. When you CAN play - across your first year EVERY time you log in you operate better than you did the last time you could actually play - skill wise.
Translation: You don't fall behind others for what you can do. You won't be able to keep going with your friends. Next - "not a gear chase" A player from has a carrier and tons of time to play EVE.
Later that year, they find that work and other things in real-life take over and they drop their account. Can you show me another game where a "top end" item like that is still towards the "top end" 6 YEARS later and useful? Earnings - very casual friendly and values hold well. In a game like WoW, Rift or other such games, you can "see the market! That "convenience" factor keeps this market very much alive and provides for "casual" style buying and selling.
Mining - "semi-AFK' activity. Production - log on and check the status of your projects. All at your convenience. PvP - in any game you'll play, gear tends to be the "I win" factor yet here Within 2 weeks of starting, you can easily have the skills to be a tackler in a gang.
This isn't "hiding in the back" but front-lines and an absolutely crucial role for combat to occur -- using a skill in PvP that will remain of value throughout your entire time playing. No it's not just a "fodder" role - you should see how often "they popped our big DPS ships I got out alive" happens with newbie tacklers.
I've seen players with under 2 weeks in this game showing on carrier kill mails as active participants in it. A 5 year vet in a HAC, facing ten 3 month old chars in a mix of cruisers and frigates is liable to run for it.
A veteran PvP player in another game, facing 10 'gimps' is liable to laugh his butt off as he wastes them all without taking much damage. Again, coupling that with the "real-time training" and every time you log on, you can fit the ships better and perform at PvP better -- mostly with others.
Games like WoW, Rift and the like They're kind of like "cramming for college exams". If someone has blocks of time to invest, they are "easy". If they don't, nor have additional chunks of time they can guarantee as available to "keep advancing" -- they won't be able to keep up with their friends nor will their gear retain sufficient value to be of use in "higher end content". A HAC from 3 years ago is still a good ship to use but the same can't be said about equipment in those other games.
IMO - EVE is one of the most casual play-time friendly games on the market but this is my opinion, yours might be different. Couldn't be said better in my opinion. Sturmgrenadier Inc Pandemic Horde Great question! But yes you can, and you can do most things in eve. I only play for about 2h ona given night because i play after my boys go to bed.
The most important thing is to find a good corp that supports your play style. Some 0. But many small alliances run small scale pvp, local roams or industry in 0. There is also Empire activities such as missions, trading incursions. There is low sec PvP, and there are WH's.
So yes you can play eve casually but a good corp helps as it gives you people to do them with. Empire Assault Corp Dead Terrorists Likes received: Royal Amarr Institute Amarr Empire If I'm perfectly frank I'd say "no". Yes you can do things - but a large part of EVE requires hours and hours that you won't have.
Roaming for PvP, travel, it all takes so much time that I sometimes wonder if EVE is designed for just the few fanatics with too much time on their hands. While providing an efficient method for leadership to summon hordes of bloodthirsty pilots, this process also allows casual gamers to log on when they know content is afoot.
After moving to Low-Security space in an effort to experience different parts of New Eden, i discovered Faction Warfare and awoke the dormant part of my brain that drove me to spend hundreds of hours killing nerds on the internet. And it feels fantastic. Each faction is allied with one other, with the contesting pairs fighting over separate regions of space. Players are put into a corporation with hundreds of faction militia buddies, eager to give advice and lend a hand with making things other than you explode.
The resultant chaos creates some of the most consistently available content in New Eden. The times of sacrificing entire nights of sleep to raids, waking up at absurd hours to fit into time zones, and clicking that goddamn next turn button in Civilisation III are over for many of us. Money goes from being something nice to something necessary, and getting up in the morning is no longer optional. EVE Online is deceptively casual-friendly, while still offering the depth, content and camaraderie so many of us enjoyed in the glory days of the MMO.
The sandbox universe of New Eden offers dozens of diverse roles and playstyles to suit almost any gamer, casual or otherwise. The trick is to ignore that voice in your head telling you not to try.
Tension is ramped up when gankers come knocking but otherwise, I love my time gently orbiting massive Ice-steroids to classical music. You know, like in WoW you can play freely without purchacing anything, but your character is limited with lvl The greatest thing of eve is to be a single session multiplayer online server. Eve is a single universe. If you want to do , you have the Testing Server….
Simply NO. There would be nothing to work toward and nobody to compete against. Survival: Play on your on, you may die as many times as you want Creative: be able to give yourself everyskill , all good boosting, join npc factions, give yourself pretty much any ship 1 life: Hardcore mode for the most of the challenging players, if you die in your pod, game over.
Is Eve Online a casual game? Is Eve Online game safe? How big is the Eve Online download? But I'm always left wondering if that guy was just passing through or really hunting for me. That's no fun either. And not casual gameplay tbh. Originally posted by Krash Megiddo :. Last edited by Shotgun ; 6 Jul am. Originally posted by Shotgun :.

Not even close. Eve is the antithesis of casual. The game is tuned toward that of "good things come to those that wait". You have to put in time to be rewarded for your efforts. That won't stop you from going in head first guns blasting, just keep your expectations in check for the likely outcome of that approach. In regards to Originally posted by WishFish :.
