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?
Just in case you’re out of the loop and it’s relevant to you: they’re remaking Ark in Unreal 5 and going to be shutting down official servers for “old” ark within the next few months. And then it looks like you might have to pay for everything all over again. At the very least the base game already seems to have a set price.
