It's still the most complicated and toughest mmo to play but the changes bring some simplicity to this taxing micro managing game.

I dip in and out from time to time on a friend's account because it's still great but I can't devote proper time to it.

But the changes are nice.

Yeah, I played Eve for about 6 years, had 3 characters, was heading up a corp and was tying to keep a pos going. It all ended up being such hard work. Everyone was migrating into the huge alliances at the time, and I just didn't want to go that direction. After 6 years, I just got fed up of being ganked trying to run the station/mine ore/explore out in deep space, and then having to fork out another however billion isk for another battleship...

It's great that CCP release free content regularly, but I always felt I was behind the curve, and never at the fore of the what was going on with the community. Worse still because I had however million skills to train, it would always take another 6 months before I had the skills to begin getting to where I wanted to be...

I loved it, stuck it out for all those years, but when my corp started fading out, I just didn't have the heart to continue. To really get the most out of Eve you really do need to be in a large active corp., and I don't think I have the time to invest in a corp... especially now that I have a wife and kids. lol. :)
