As a rehabilitated Eve addict, I can tell you that it’s a lot of addiction. MMOs are about two things: people and gameplay.
In Eve, the PvE gameplay is awful. But the PvP is amazing and the people are amazing. Even though I haven’t logged in in years, I still talk to these people regularly. Like once or twice a month.
While they’re not my closest friends, I genuinely know them and feel I can share anything I need to get off my chest in a safe place that will hear and respond. Picking a good group of people in a game can make or break your experience.
After that, 10,000 hours of online social time doesn’t seem so bad compared to the alternative of being alone and still playing games.
Is it good for you? Absolutely not. But hopefully that puts some perspective on MMOs.
