Back to EVE, with a new blog... Thanks Google Accounts

I have recently come back to eve after not having an interest in the game any more.

My last experiences in eve was being in nullsec with a corp which was gradually loosing their interest in EVE. This contributed to my loss of interest as well, as when our alliance wanted a fleet, only me and a handful of other corp mates shows up. Alliance drama wasn’t helping either...

Eventually i gave up with a “whats the point?” attitude, so I pulled out of the alliance and moved back to highsec, where I basically ship spinned for a few months.

Not much was missed with my absence, just POS bashing AAA with Red Alliance, and my old alliance's disbandment from internal turmoil.

So, I tried starwars... while it can be 'nice', its not the game for me.

My old corpies all use the same Teamspeak so we can keep in touch, and I brought up the topic of starting a war in EVE to get a bit of interest back. I know that most of them are still engrossed in star wars to consider it, but I am living in hope that they will return when the story appeal is disappears at the end of the game, when the “grind” starts. If that part of the game is how I imagine it, then I don’t expect many of them to hang around for it, as it is effectively Level 4 missions over and over for no reason. Having something to come back to eve for will hopefully take their eye of the force.

I choose a war as a goal to rally behind as when I think back of the most fun I have had in eve, it was when a handful of corpies made pirate alts to learn how to PvP.

The appeal of this was that our characters and corp were effectively a week old, and we were taking on players with more Skill points, numbers and equipment than us, which made it a constant struggle.

I will hopefully recreate that feeling by war deccing a larger corp who have in their recruitment posts that they are PvPers.

Blogging should also help rekindle my interest in Eve again, however I had to abandon my old blog as I no longer have that email address, and I forgot the password. Of course the only way I can reset it is to have the reset password email sent to me, which is just stupid. WHERE IS YOUR SUPPORT TEAM GOOGLE ACCOUNTS?!
