I played WoW for a good 4-6 years. Had a lot of fun but eventually it became easy, grindy, and just lost it' luster.

I've been playing EVE since about 2007 now and it's the only thing keeping me playing MMOs let alone video games.

Then again EVE isn't really a game it's just a strange branch of real life.

True, in that it's very complex, and it does reward an analytical approach, which may or may not accord with one's own real life. Eve is a fantastic hobby, in that it is intellectually demanding, time consuming, skill rewarding, and an emotional investment. I can't recommend it but I'd certainly suggest it for whatever it is that ails ya.

That's a statement you can make about every game.
