![]() ![]() Why was EVE-ONLINE on the chopping block? Well, EVE isn't a game, it is a lifestyle, an obsession and a very fickle mistress. So, sort of dipping one's toe in the water before the full cold-water submersion. Dropping from a double-income to a single one - with the outgoings still being the same was a jolt, I can tell you! We're not pleading poverty but wanted to see if we had the will and discipline to do it when things were hard but not impossible, before circumstances deteriorated to the point where we would be having trouble servicing the mortgage and the weekly shopping becomes an exercise in pain. We both agreed to cut back on 'stuff' in order to save money. The reasons for the enforced break has been discussed before but my wife is still without a permanent job, my own roles have been cut back and job prospects are looking a little bleaker each month. This is the longest break from EVE-ONLINE ever and it has turned out to be quite healthy actually. I am not hiding from monsters but it sometimes feel like I am. ![]()
