See... for me, greatest feature of EVE online is the fact that you have to rely on skills you train no matter logged in or not... to put it simply, I can play and be good without sitting 24/7, and cutting down to 1-2/7
And I surely have enough money to not consider it a waste of payment.
On the other hand, I was long time addicted to Xwars but I realized the game was for free because all it costed me TIME.
