EVE is probably too good a space sim for its own good, sometimes. Its grind wears on you worse than others, because as necessary as it is, the motivation to stay on the grind is very abstract compared to games with an experience point system based on enemies killed or items crafted.

On the other hand, there are elements of its gameplay that make it exceptionally attractive for the long haul (PvP with severe consequences/rewards as well as its exceptional political/diplomacy model), its simply imperative that you find a solid group of people to play with.

I've been at it just over a year now and rarely play anything else. Looking forward to launching my carrier on Monday night.
