RP, Please tell me you haven't invested this much into it....

I think if he had, it would be the $350,000 star dock that was taken out previously. Certainly one reason I never got into playing EVE. Though I will admit I was sorely tempted.

I did play for a little with Godzilla and RP. Prices went up and I stopped playing. Of course after the fact they started to let you use the ingame currency to pay for time.

Was fun while it lasted.

So, you can use virtual credits to pay for real time in a game now?

That's a switch, I thought they wanted real cash to buy virtual stuff.

You can also use the virtual cash to buy real items as well.

Actually I've been researching EVE. It sounds sort of cool. Might have to check it out.

I've been playing for a-bit, very complex (slightly overwhelming) mostly just building out SP for my hauler app to Red Frog.

RP got me into it many years ago. I played for a little but the price went up and I wasn't interested in paying that much. NOW you can use in game currency to purchase time which I think is awesome.

If you have all the right graphics cards and hardware, the game is really beautiful.

I most likely do not have the right video card, very choppy & pixilated. And it's taking forever to simply customize my character.
