Yes, it's true, I get around when it comes to MMOs. I went ahead and canceled EvE online for now. I trained plenty of skills towards my HAC pvp goal, but I still don't have the time (currently) for a game that takes so much preparation for PvP.I will come back to EvE, as I always do, but for now I'm going to relax in two MMOs.
The first being WoW. This game I played for about 3 years, and the whole time was pretty fun. The game is solid and has a sprinkle of everything; however, it is still a themepark game- I've ridden every ride in that park =/
But, I have not ridden the WoW themepark rides with my girlfriend yet. She is currently enthralled with WoW (her first MMO), and plays it religiously. I went ahead and bought another copy and started my own gnome mage to roll around with her.
Even though I've played WoW through and through already, it still has a shred of fun by experiencing it with someone sitting next to you. Also, I feel pretty useful answering all her WoW questions- probably my first time as the SME (Subject Matter Expert).
The problem with just playing WoW is that when she, or other people I know IRL, are not around or online- I have no desire to play the game. Enter: Darkfall
I created my new character on the North American server last night; this time I went with a human as there looks like no chance of Mahirim ever getting 4LR (Four-legged-run).
Now I know what your thinking... Darkfall takes time to prep for PvP just as EvE, what gives? The answer is yes, they both have preps that takes place before PvP, but in Darkfall it's the resource gathering (food, regs, arrows, armor) that takes the time. Once you have a stock-pile of supplies, then it's just a matter of grabbing your sh!t and heading out.
In EvE it's the gathering of resources AND the actual ship fittings before leaving the station. I know you can stock up on modules and save equipment loadouts, but it still would be monotonous prep times.
I'm going to remain guildless in Darkfall for now since my guild on EU-1, Inquisition, has decided not to pickup the North American release, but rather wait for Aion. If you're planning on playing Aion and don't have a guild yet, then look into Inquisition (link on the sidebar), they are a great guild with awesome leadership.
After a month or so of skill gains and resource gathering I'll start to search for a guild, but I might join one sooner since I can't wait for more group PvP stories to share with the blog.

There is no prep time for pvp in EvE. You just need to adjust your tactics or goals to your current capabilities. You don't NEED a HAC for PVP by any means. In fact if you are just getting to the point of having it trained you probably should be flying something cheaper anyway. I suggest you take a stab at Factional. Warfare, its a great place to get a taste. Try the Minmatar/Amarr area as the Gal/Cald is pretty dead now.
You're absolutely right about not needing a HAC for PvP; there are plenty of roles for frigates and T1 cruisers.
It's just flying a HAC is my long-term goal in EvE, and I'm with you on the not flying till all, or most, of the associated skills are up to 3/4.
I'm training for Tech II blasters right now, and then it's on to Tech II drones.
I won't be putting a HAC in space until I probably have TOO many associated skills, but then I still expect to lose it because the lack of experience flying, but at least it won't be due lack of skills.
Also, thanks for the Factional Warfare suggestion; I think that will be my big focus when I come back to EvE.
