My greatest fears about joining this game are 1) I will lose myself as I did in the early SWG and 2) that DU will have the same ridiculous problems seemingly embraced as canonical law by Eve Online. Once the door is opened for grief loving "players" it usually turns into a flood and inevitable decline. Yes, companies have to be able to compete with each other but as happens in the real world the MAJORITY of said competition must be done under national and international law. Granted that industrial espionage, sabotage and outright theft does happen but there are also agencies working, again with a some nation/state exceptions, to give recourse to the injured parties. If DU evolves/devolves into the same type of null sec barbarity found on Eve then in my personal opinion it will end up with the same problem: old players and new players who find out far too soon that far too much of the game will be denied to them. Please don't bother to reply if your only wish is to troll or flame as having survived some rather humid areas far away for a few years, 40+ years of marriage, three children and now grandchildren there are few things that can produce anything more than amusement.
