I think what brought me back more than anything was the Retribution release and the wealth of new ships and fittings. I spent some time down in Khanid/Irmalin where I had some old missioning ships from ages ago, mostly to do some random ratting and figuring out what to do next.
With some of the old SI Radio team members still maintaining our chat channel, it was good to see some familiar faces online. Some folks have battled it out through the entire -A- campaign, others went off to one of the big powerblocks. I am impressed how a few have amped up their WSpace game and now run C5/C6 sites with small fleets of Carriers and Dreads - these guys are making Billions per day - pretty sick (nice)!
I am settling into Syndicate - setting up with a small Alliance and getting my toons back on their feet. I am not 100% online yet - don't want to get carried away like last time and repeat the mistakes... If it was one thing I learned about EVE burnout, it was that you cannot let it drive your RL schedule - my online time will be based purely on leisure time, not at the whim of fleets and FCs...at least for now ;-)
Biggest decision will be to either continue poking around Syndicate or joining up with old friends in Wspace and in the powerblock territories.
Fly Safe!

ReplyDeleteSi Radio. Took me some time to remember the name, but I think you were our neighbors, back in 2010 when I was flying with Echoes of Nowhere. Funny that I found your blog searching about gas harvesting in which :)
ReplyDeleteHey, I just happened to stumble across your blog the other day. I read through the whole thing. I have to say I enjoy your writing style and reading about your various experiences. I'm getting amped up to go into whs of my own... anyways glad to see you are returning to the game.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see you back. Was checking on your blog every other week for the last time =)
ReplyDeleteWelcome on your return. A few friends of mine have returned to the game, but I fear we are WAY behind on the training and even knowledge of the game.
ReplyDeleteWe are currently working out of Essense and Verge Vendor. Look me up online sometime.
