Eve Online
« Reply #15 on: January 29, 2008, 10:21:55 AM »
55 million Skill Points and still going strong.  I CEO a small manufacturing corporation in Caldari (Lonetrek) space and I spend most of my time doing  exploration in Low/No sec space.

I enjoy playing EVE and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an extremely in-depth long term game.  The learning curve is steep, but not impossible.  Yes, it is a time sink, but why start a MMO if you are not willing to dedicate some time to it?  I usually spend 1-3 hours a night exploring or maintaining the Corp.

My char is Terror DeBiaN.  My corp is Lucid Space Discoveries (-LSD-).  HeadQuartered in Saranen, Manufacturing division in Nonni.

FiX isn't quite dissolved.. but they're dead from a 0.0 standpoint. I helped destroy them. They lasted less than 2 weeks before all of their stations were captured, all POS's sieged and destroyed, and all of Querious was locked down by Northern Coalition forces.

They would've died sooner this year, but their geographic location made them the last stop before the final showdown with BoB in Delve.

Even worse, it was done purely with BS fleets, not a single capital ship was used in offensive ops... and FiX did not once sally forth to defend their homes. In fact, my alliance maintained a 90% effeciency over the course of the Querious Campaign.

I'm primarly a logistics guy/EW guy, so I didn't personally do much POS bashing, but here's my current killboard

That does not surprise me a bit.  The entire "alliance" was a sham, BoB only used them to provide a buffer.  Once AAA killed Huzzah, FIX was a dead man walking.

FIX had horrid leadership...  I still shudder thinking of all the missed opportunities because someone couldn't make a decision...
