Eve online guides -> About borders of the games
Let's talk about such a lyrical topic as. How much time should and can be devoted to online games in general? While in the game process, you do not always think and notice what is happening around you.
The benefits of games
Games help to distract from problems, for example, a friend lived in Nikolaev and for six months of the war in early 2022, it was harshly shelled every night, and all this time she went through detective quests in some online game. This helped her not to go crazy from what was happening.
During the virus, many found a way to communicate with others in online games, including Eve. Since online then really boosted. And when it's summer or spring outside and the weather is good, online drops again, usually on the Internet.
That is, games help to survive problems and rewind bad times, or time in general. In my subjective opinion.
Harm of games
Recently I saw on Twitch on the stream about Eve, the English-speaking dude wrote in the chat that his wife left because he played too much. That is, there is a limit to how much time you can spend in the game, without harming yourself.

On any account, even an old one, follow the link, and at the bottom under the fields, click "Log in to become a recruit". You don't need to fill out the form: 1млн навыков бесплатно сп / 1mln free skills.
Probably, the following criteria can be drawn up that show that not everything is ok, and a lot of time is spent on games, namely:
1) You lost your job. Games have displaced earnings, there is neither the strength nor the desire to work. Here, as a rule, when you stop playing, partially or completely, you are boosted in real life by a large amount of free time and energy to do something. As one very close girl friend said, "A man should work, and it does not matter who."
2) You lost a girlfriend / wife. Because of games, as the dude wrote in the chat. Girls don't like it when guys play games anyway, but apparently it took so much time that she decided to leave.
3) Loved ones die - it means you don't spend enough time with your loved ones, and time in the game is rewinded. You will stop playing constantly at one point, and you can't bring them back.
If you are faced with one of these situations, then you should maybe limit the time in the game by 2 times, so that there is a lot of free time and strength to do something, energy, or even partially not play. Until the real life is settled, and so that it doesn't get even worse. This is not necessarily Eve, any online game in principle. o7 The cost of a funeral in 2025 is $ 400-500, but the problem is not the money, but the fact that the person you loved and who loved you is leaving forever.
Interesting fact, when the power was turned off due to bombing, there was no power for 4 hours, and then there was power for 4 hours, then no power again, and so on every 4 hours. On Gila, I was able to earn more than now when there is power and you play for 12 hours. A real fact!
Before winter
As missiles and drones are once again being fired at the energy sector before winter, to leave us without heat and light again, here's some advice for Ukrainian players:
- Don't fly into the abyss. The light can disappear at any moment for an unknown period of time.
- Fly a passive tank. So that NPCs can't spot you if everything goes wrong.
- Don't fly into the nulls. To log in in relatively safe space.
KPD - efficiency coefficient, when in winter due to shelling there was no power for 4 hours and for 4 hours there was:
- Playing for 8 hours straight - efficiency is 100%
- 12 hours in a row - efficiency 75%
- You play for 4 hours, take a 4-hour break, and then play for 4 hours again - efficiency 200%
I was making about 10 billion ISK a month on Gil before the Equinox patch, even with power outages, in a single window during alpha. Back in 0x20, they boasted that a newbie was making 5 billion. It's less now, of course, but still.
Ukrainian streams
Give Ukrainian content and streamers a break, since we play on higher difficulty. After all, they're killing us, or at least trying to.
So don't write that there's nothing Ukrainian, or that there's little, and compare yourself to others.
English videos for your phone
I recommend downloading English-language streams and videos on topics you enjoy, as this will increase your efficiency in and out of the game.
There are three zones on the internet: Ukrnet, RuNet, and Bourgeoisnet (English Internet). Before the war, we lagged behind RuNet by 1-2 years in technology, and RuNet lagged behind Bourgeoisnet by 3-5 years.
Knowledge of English helps you bypass the Russian-language internet and get better information and technology about the game (or non-game).
For example, I didn't study English in school from grades 1-5; it was only taught from grades 5-9, and I remember a little German from grades 10-11. I can, for example, say the English word for "potato" or "apple," but I have trouble saying the English word for "grapes" or "cabbage," because I learned those in grades 10 and 11.
But by watching thousands or tens of thousands of hours of videos and streams in English, you can speak it fluently, comprehend it, understand what's being said, and so on. People pay a lot of money to chat with native speakers in real life, when you can simply open a stream in English on a topic or game you like.
On Adsense, the same video or article on the site, advertising brings you different amounts of money depending on the language:
- Ukrainian - $0.25
- Russian - $0.75
- English - $2.25
Also, all programming languages and their specifications are mostly written in English.
Examples of the Benefits of English for Eva
Knowing English allows you to observe how someone, having made fundamental mistakes after returning to the game, "rescues" newcomers from "bad SEOs." To what extent will he or she harm only fleets with his "Correct SEO" decisions or not?
Knowing English, I can follow the author's experience in producing fuel blocks for power plants. Will he come to the same conclusion, or, on the contrary, find a better and more profitable solution?
English helps to learn from the experience of a guy who completed EVE always playing on Alpha, without ever buying Omega.
If that's not enough for you, here's an interesting fact:
My current YouTube feed, for one or two months before the war, was 95% Russian-language videos. There were so many of them that I had to manually delete them from my YouTube feed (clicking "Do not recommend videos from this channel"). Back then, I didn't understand why there was such a boost in Russian content; I only realized it after the war started.
What's your YouTube feed like?
