No, the title is not some sort of clickbait, I ended my Eve Online adventure.

I created my first character in 2007, but I was playing alone in hisec and It was such a boring game that I wasted 2 of the 3 months subscription I bought.

Then came the fantastic “This is Eve” trailer (I still think it’s one of the best trailers in the history of videogames) and I decided to try it again, this time immediately entering a corp and really playing as the game should be played, in team.

I created my main character in December 2014 and I quit in May 2025.

Why? Because I had no more objectives, I did everything I was interested in the game.

I could blame CCP for all the wrong choices they made (to be honest I have at least three huge posts in draft since years about this) but in reality I quit Eve because I lost interest in the game.

I never been a PVP player and I never liked it, during the last year of playing I kept doing PVE in NPC Null even If I was in a huge alliance (INIT) with plenty of space and opportunities.

I was in a fantastic corp but ignored all the content opportunities from the amazing guys inside it, I reached all the objectives that I was interested in:

• max out my pvp main for fleets
• max out a pve alt (three toons to be honest)
• max out a mining alt (two to be honest)
• max out two haulers for jumpfreighters
• max out an industrial toon
• max out a Jita trader
• create a huge collection of blueprints to build whatever I wanted or needed
• max out ratting, mining, combat missions, mining missions, DED complexes
• max out a dread toon, two carrier toons, two fax toons, two Rorqual toons, two JF toons

I participated in all the big was happened in the  game in those 10 years, I saw the game evolve, fall and rise again, I was one of those involved in some of the most epic battles and objectives ever made in the game (a couple of which were World Guinness Record events).

The game made me possible to get in contact with so many amazing people, I made friends, young people, old people (some of them also passed in those 10 years), people from all over the world.

I can’t describe how many amazing experiences I had thanks to Eve, but now they’re all memories of the past.

Those who know the game may think there’s plenty of other things to do, like building and playing a supercarrier or a titan, in reality I don’t give a damn about those things so they’re not an option or an interesting objective.

The reality is that the last year was a slow and tedious approach to this decision, I was only too lazy and too nostalgic to take it.

These 10 years have been a blast, and no matter its problems I still think Eve Online is the most complex and interesting multiplayer game ever existed and still existing today, so I really suggest everyone to try it.

I will gladly pay if there’s a way to reset my memory and forget everything about the game, to be able to start from the beginning today, but sadly it’s not possible, so my only option is to “win Eve” and stop playing it.
