Some experience about eve
Everyone knows that the death penalty in eve online isk is harsh but is it really as bad as we make it out to be? Is losing a ship really a devastating blow or does the emotional factor of losing something we’ve put care and attention into make us exaggerate the loss? Since EVE’s game play is focused entirely on piloting ships rather than walking around with your character, we can get much attached to our ships and feel a great sense of loss at their destruction. It can be hard to keep in mind that our ships in EVE are just tools, which can make their loss feel a lot harsher than it should be. Is this the fault of the player for getting attached to their ship or of the game design for not encouraging us to form attachments with our characters instead? In this brief article, I discuss some of the golden rules of EVE used to minimize the death penalty and ask whether our perceptions of EVE Online’s death penalty are really that accurate. Over the years, players have come up with some universally accepted golden rules for EVE Online. These are a few tried and tested rules that make life a lot easier for players, particularly new players that are used to first person fantasy MMOs.
