Hello EVE Online, farewell reality

Selena Na'sharr - EVE online

I’ve finally made the step: I got an EVE online account now (thanks to my buddy Jemimus) and started exploring the vast world of EVE. After 3 weeks I am in a corp, flying several ships, have been wardec’d along with my corp and are thoroughly hooked to the game.

Where Star Wars the Old Republic might have been a mild caffeine addiction, this game is more addictive than Crystal Meth.

I’ve actually thought often to get EVE. I’ve heard many stories from friends about it and the game intrigued me. The aspect that most aspects of the game is player-controlled  makes it a diverse and ever-changing game.

The only thing I regret is not doing this sooner. Perhaps I could’ve played a bit with Omar, when he was still actively participating.

Star Wars – The Old Republic: I AM IN YOU!

Star Wars - the Old RepublicAfter saying my farewells to Everquest 2 last year and briefly rubbing up to Dungeons and Dragons Online, I’ve found my new MMO: Star Wars – The Old Republic.

First of all I am a fan of Star Wars. Not a big fan, but I like it enough to consider myself as such. Whenever there was a Star Wars game out I’d try it and if it was any good I’d buy it. Last spring a friend of mine brought over the Star Wars Sage tabletop role-playing game and we played that for a while (and love it).

Now I can immerse myself into a world and share it with all the wacky gits like myself. I shall be posting some stuff about my experiences and my characters in here, just because I feel a bit nerdy recently. B)

In order to install the game I had to download the friggin’ Internet (25GB worth of game material!) which made me impatient. Seeing that patience is a virtue of the Jedi (and because some friends had gone over to the Dark Side) I decided to create a Sith Warrior (now Marauder).

Although I am not on a RP server I do try to play her according to the Sith Code as taught by Darth Bane:

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

If you play as well, drop me a line (in-game on server Frostclaw to the toon Sylencia) and I will see you on the Dark Side.
