I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it's a bad game. Don't do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you'll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent's cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

Guild Wars 2, although I don't know if people think it's garbage, just more obscure now

I need to reinstall that game damn

It's great to clear some maps and listen to audiobooks. So far my favourite MMO in my very very limited experience with the genre.

Oh man GW2, been forever since I played. I just remember leveling up was super fun, but the end game was mind numbing.

Same experience with Star Wars Old republic. I had a ton of fun leveling up, felt like a really good single player game, then was handed like 2 dungeons and was told to get grinding.

When I was young, I spent a lot of time playing Extreme Paintbrawl. I only learned years later that it had achieved notoriety as one of the worst video games of all time. Looking back it's not hard to see why. But back when it was one of the very few games we had for PC, I got a lot of enjoyment out of it.

Victoria 3. It's not even close to being in a finished state yet, but I just love watching that line go up. It's like the world's most complex Cookie Clicker game

Marvel Strike Force. I've never played a mobile game before it and I don't think I ever will. But it took up brainspace and time during the COVID isolation, and I put in enough money that I feel I can't quit now.

But don't do it. It's a time suck, money suck, and it's repetitive.
