Around seven months ago, I left Eve, bored and with too much to do in real life. Well, I’ve decided to give it another shot. I’m downloading the Eve client as I type.

So, anyway, I’m very curious to see what has changed. Obviously, I’ve done nothing in Eve, so I’m going to let you know what RL has been like.

First, when I quit, I was still in college. About a week into my last quarter, I received a job offer. I proceeded to graduate (it was awesome) and start my new job (just as awesome). I work as a Software Developer of a fairly large development firm. We do a very specific set of software and I develop software for in-house use. I won’t go into too much detail about who they are, since 99% of people will never see the software my company creates. (It really is quite specific). I’m loving every minute of my job and couldn’t be happier. I’ve probably learned more this summer than I have most of my college career.

I’ve moved into my own apartment which I also enjoy (Love the quiet!). It has definitely been a change in pace.

As far as games go, I’ve been playing a ton of console games. I had a big backlog. Some of them include Bulletstorm, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Dragon Age 2, Dead Island, Test Drive Unlimited 2, and so much more. I’ve also tried a couple different MMOs including Star Trek Online and Rift. Neither held my attention for very long. I’ll probably give DC Universe Online a go when it’s F2P since I’m a big comic fan, but I’ve not heard much good about it so we’ll see how well it holds my interest.

So why am I coming back? I’ve felt a pull to give it another shot. Games deserve second chances. Then I saw Hilmar’s letter. Whether it’s sincere or not remains to be seen, but I’m much less bitter now so I’ll assume it is. And I appreciate it. Also, as much as I hate to admit it, Incarna and CQ does intrigue me. So anyway, I’m giving it another shot.

I do NOT plan on going back in PvP right away. I’ll be playing as Enrique Callas, my mission running alt. I don’t know exactly what I’ll be doing, but I’m going to explore my options.

Wish me luck, because I am definitely feeling like a noob again.

(P.S. I haven’t decided whether I’ll resub Jager, but for now he’s dormant. And I haven’t decided if I’ll keep blogging or not. We’ll see.)

(P.P.S. I’m back on Twitter. I deleted @JagerDa when I quit (to avoid the temptation the Tweetfleet created), so I have created a new Twitter account: @EnriqueCallas. Follow me and stuff.)
