Adam and.....

So, it official, I am once again completely addicted to EVE Online. I bought the game when it first came out back in '03 and played for about a year, getting involved in what was, at the time, one of the biggest "Corporations" in the game, Explore-Eve.

Then due to financial jiggery pokery and other games, I let my subscription lapse and EVE was absorbed into the pile of backshelf games I own.

Then, 4 years later, an old online friend of mine, a chap I gleefully refer to as '1N54N3' told me he was thinking about getting the EVE trial as he'd never tried it. Curiosity took hold of me, what with having peeps to play with again, and the fact that a major patch, named Trinity, had been released since I last played, and I signed back up.

And now I'm hooked - again!

Getting back into it wasn't easy given I couldn't remember my username and password and thus had to submit the mother of all petitions to CCP (the company who develop and run the online world) to have it unlocked. After 2 weeks of waiting, I finally figured it out by myself without their help and I was in! :)

It took a while for me to remember and get back to grips with the complex nature of the game, but I'm now all but back to the skill level I was at (just below the cats on the skill chart). I am playing with the character I created all of 5 years ago, and found that Explore-Eve is no more. Having emptied the remaining coffers of the Corp (being CEO now that everyone had left) I headed off into cold and dark space.

I successfully managed to get my loverly Omen class cruiser destroyed at a jump gate, then got podded (search for podded).

Thankfully through that whole process I managed to find a good group of guys who invited me to join a brand new Corp named, Elite Rangers. Having ignored my initial l337 jokes, we get on well :)

So, the game is back on. Its one of many games I'm playing at present (ignore the panels to your left - they need updated) but its well worth the cost :)

And just for fun, here's my baby, and replacement for Varsidius VII.
