One of the few games i still play...

... And that's saying something surely? Unlike most of the other MMO articles in this blog i can write this one in the present tense *yey*! The Galante known as SarGara was "born" on 06.05.2003 and i still actively play him on an occasional basis. I say occasional because those of you familiar with EvE Online will all too well be aware of the games learning mechanic which allows you to progress your skills without really progressing and in reality just logging out!

So here i am at the time of this post with a respectable 23 million skill points under my belt. Not amazing i know but i have been juggling this game around other MMOs so unfortunately my playtime statistics will reveal huge year gaps where WoW took over to name just a few. Ive just finished polishing off the Dreadnought skills and I'm now working towards T2 ships such as Heavy Assault Cruisers (HAC).

Ship:

I decided after many expensive ammo bills from level4 missions to change my play style away from Galante faction fittings/ships to something more wallet friendly, namely lasers! What with Amarr faction ships being the best to fit said lasers too it was only natural i ended up in an Apocalypse battleship:


Its not the best situation to be in flying another factions ships with average skill set but it gets the job done and alot cheaper i may add. Overall to refit a lost "Banana Hammock" as i decided to name my Apoc I'm looking at about 88mill for the ship + roughly 50mill to fit. With figures like these you can understand why only the game has to cater for both PvE and PvP players to prevent most being over whelmed.


Corporation:

Truthfully however the real reason for me continuing to play EvE Online is because of the corporation i belong to; the Three Wise Kings [3WK]. No this isn't some sort of hardcore regime but rather a couple of friends from my work place who decided this was a good game to play so roped me into helping them and Ive stay since. We jump online from time to time and do the occasional mission in a fleet, nothing demanding but enough to keep ourselves content with the game.

As of writing this Three Wise Kings has been around for the best part of 2 years with very little change other than the odd office move here and there when we forget to pay a bill and get evicted.

The website seen to the right was my friends idea by the way. Other than being a hangout for various advertisement spam bots i doubt its used anymore.

The Game:

I have to hand it to CCP the developers of EvE Online. They have really gone above and beyond when it comes to maintaining there crafted world. I cant think of any other MMO where the game has had an entire revamp with updated graphics rather than merely being churned out as a sequel title to milk some additional money.

I definitely recommend checking out this game at some point or another in anyones MMO career.
