This can provide real drama, anxiety and excitement because the player actually has something at stake if they take a risk. You don't reset afterwards back in that ship to try again. When you enter a battle in your ship, losing it means LOSING IT. In Eve though it can take weeks, months or even years to train and get resources for different levels of ships and equipment. Most that my kids play provide no sense of real accomplishment or loss, along with all the lessons involved in both. This is also one of the best things about the game. There is a lot of hierarchical dependency tracking in order to build and use different things and ships which would probably get frustrating before that age to try to follow.
In many cases, its pros could also be its cons depending on the player.įirst, the game is probably too complex to play or even interest anyone under 12. I happened to have played this game over 10 years and it has given me a pretty solid perspective of its pros and cons. Reading the other adult reviews of Eve Online on here would probably sway me to not let them play it either. Ours don't play first-person shooters, etc. We are responsible (and often over-protective) parents to our four kids. In the end, bad game design coupled with bad game ethics means that this is one game to avoid.
And, young players would not only be prime targets but will also be learning very personally destructive lessons, in-game. On top of this, players are continually trying to scam or rip off other players. one, and are forced to join corporations. New players can do nothing to compete one vs. You lose your ship and any time or money you have invested in that ship. As an example, you come out of a gate (load screen) to find someone in a carrier (which takes over a year to obtain) and you get complete blown up. Eve Online (company name is CCP and is owned by a Korean parent company) has decided that gate camps and station camps are good places for PvP to occur. Leaving the defeated player alone after one kill. Ganking in other games, usually involves killing a lower level player and then moving on. What Eve Online players call "ganking" is actually camping. Most MMOs frown upon camping other players in PvP. What I feel makes Eve Online particularly bad, is that the game design is absolutely terrible with regards to most new players. Children may not care about this, but parents should. As a generalization, PvP tends to produce more negative in-game interactions than PvE focused games. However, this game is primarily a PvP game. There are a lot of cool aspects about the game, namely focused around exploration. I have over 10 years experience in playing MMOs (massively multiplayer online games), and this game is by far the worst one I have played. While every decision is left up to the parent in the end, this parent happily plays EVE with his son before he goes to bed, and love that hes picked up such a great game. The game revolves around farming money, and buying ships. While these things are possible, they are extremely rare and are by no means the "point" of the game. These involve players that spend countless months, even years, planning some sort of heist or attack. My son told her son about it and wanted to start playing it, the mother watched some Youtube video about the "Fountain War" which is a real in-game war that happened in the game involving hundreds of players, and the "Judgement Day Heist". I recently talked to a parent about this game. Blowing up their ship leaves them in an emergency pod which the defeated player must navigate to a nearby space station and pick up a new ship. Do keep in mind though that it is actually impossible to "kill" in this game. But as far as the game being bad? Totally clean, some parents may not like the idea that you have the option to blow up other players ships. You work for the things you have in this game,and if you make a dumb mistake, you can lose it. It's wholesome and teached the value of common sense and thinking things through. My son can't play Call of Duty or any game with excessive violence.ĮVE is not a game parents should be worried about. Let me tell you that I heavily monitor my childrens internet use. I have two kids a boy (14) and a girl (17), my daugher never really picked up the game but my son recently gave up his Fortnite craze and started to play a "big boy game" with his Pops. Throughout all of this, ive gotten a pretty good idea of the game and hope that I can help as much as possible. Im an EVE veteran and have played actively for about 7 years.
