Wensley has put together the EVE Online Twitter Pack (http://wensley.wordpress.com/2008/10/06/eve-online-twitter-pack/) for those of you who want to follow out Twitter traffic as well as out blogs. Much thanks to Wensley for putting this together. He’s also put together an RSS feed for the current Twitter Pack so that you can follow along in an RSS reader or add it as an item on your own blog.
Now I guess I will have to watch what I say, with all the viewers on that too!!!
Hey, what’s your dream?
Xiphos has an interesting article in his blog, http://xiphos83.wordpress.com/2008/10/01/whats-your-dream-in-eve/, he talks about his dream or ultimate goal for playing EVE.
All of us have goals in EVE, wether or not we realize it. We all want to have fun, be successful in what we are doing (PvP, manufacture, lol moments, etc…). It’s important when playing a game like EVE, where there is no obvious end game, that you identify what it is you want to accomplish. True, this can cost you a significant amount of play time and may lead to the creation of more alts than you ever wanted to do, but you should always set one goal above any other, to have fun. EVE is afterall, a game. A game implies that you play it for entertainment and in short, fun.
I have seen many people play this game with too much intensity towards being the dreader “power gamer”. You know those people, those who whine constantly on the forums because things are too hard and they were the “uber PvP’er” in WOW.
Have fun, that’s what my dream was, is and continues to be realized.
Want to see a great example of someone having a great deal of fun in EVE? Well, lets all hop into the way back machine and take a look at another blog, now inactive, The EVE Online 0.0 Experiment (http://00experiment.blogspot.com/). It was a simple concept, this guy created an alt and decided to look at the EVE universe a differnet way. There has not been a post for over 2 years now, some say the blogger died in real life, others say that he simply stopped playing, but it’s worth a read.

This may not be a serious issue for you, but it’s worth taking a gander.
I’ve been so busy getting the blog OPML file up to date, finishing up the video and with real life that I have not had enough time to really read all the blog traffic.
I totally forgot to send a big thank you to CK for adding me into the Blog Pack.
