Saw this comment in reaction to a news article about a recent GDC talk on Sandbox design by CCP Greyscale. Would love to hear your opinions on it:

"In EVE, if you do not log in you miss to be part of the history of that universe, you miss taking part in shpping the future, you miss the tale we all are writing when we log on. Even by not logging on you are part of that history, as in making your side weaker and the game swinging from one side to the other." – Cechin
