    It’s been around for a LONG time. And it’s almost a lifestyle. You can’t functionally play Eve and expect to do anything with it if you need time for other things…like a family…or friends.

      Big alliances give you a chance to be casualish. I played with goonswarm back in the day and swarming was part of the tactics.

          The full goon setup was weird. I rolled with a small break off corp for a while and it was a lot of fun. We got betrayed and I had to negotiate our escape.

          Also, chilling in low sec (I think?) while an alliance capital ship is there blasting whatever was hilarious.

      I remember back in the day, 2010 or thereabouts, calculating how much time I’d need to spend doing pve missions to afford PLEX with ISK alone. it was going to work out at something like 30 hours. that’s a full time job in this country.
