I have never seen such a large player base combined into one group besides WoW. It was just simply amazing how everything and everyone was connected, I had to keep playing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However CCP screwed me over and only gave me 3 days of play time instead of 3 months, so I was no longer able to play but I missed Eve so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats when I went downhill, I got severely depressed due to several factors in my life, mostly adusement and just wishing everything would go away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was very, very hard for me. Every day I thought about just taking a walk and never coming back, it just hurt so much knowing that every single day I woke up I would be verbally and sometimes physical beaten by my older peers. No one would believe me, no one really did anything. I had to take things into my own hands and I would get in trouble, funny how fraked up our society is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was on the very edge of finishing it when I was listening to my favorite song I saw an Eve-online advertisement. I pounced on that ad as fast as I could move.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally found myself immersed back into the world I beliefly knew and I just asked anyone who was willing to listen, if they were looking for a noobie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That saved my life, without a single doubt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In no time I was a pirate, roaming with my best friends, doing what ever we felt like doing really. It was the best feeling in my life. It still is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am now 16 years old, and I still believe without Eve-online I would not be here to post this, but I am so very glad I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thank every single player, regardless who you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long live Eve-online, the best game with the best community!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taxtro Grave&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2760933002596521052-8343126058728649622?l=taxtrograve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taxtrograve.blogspot.com/feeds/8343126058728649622/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://taxtrograve.blogspot.com/2010/01/eve-blog-banter-contest.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2760933002596521052/posts/default/8343126058728649622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2760933002596521052/posts/default/8343126058728649622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taxtrograve.blogspot.com/2010/01/eve-blog-banter-contest.html' title='EVE Blog Banter  Contest'/><author><name>Taxtro Grave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18006594738223738249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
