Being a warlord in an online game is rough for anyone, but few know it better than Dunk Dinkle, one-time CEO of Brave in EVE Online. Dunk recently took to his Medium blog to talk about the experience of being a warlord in one of gaming's most complex metaverses.

    It is always great to hear about players actual experience, we see so little of that on gaming media articles from any site.

    If you have played a big part in a game, whatever your role you get kudos from me, if you were a known crafter, whatever it shows you are doing more than casual solo which is the death of the modern genre.

    I often marvel at those willing to take a leadership role of a gaming organization, especially a larger one such as Brave.

    Even when I've co-lead a smaller (less than 100 member) guild the "work" involved quickly sucked the fun out of everything and I never lasted long in such a role.

    People said running 40 person raids was too challenging to manage so Blizzard quickly struck them out.

    I've been in 500 ship fleets that traversed the EVE Universe for several months in massive campaigns to exterminate the opposition.

    They required significant efforts to organize, coordinate with the fleet,  alliance, and allies, set up logistics, manage communication channels, (once had Russian translators when allied with Red Army), and keeping an eye out from spy's, unreliable allies (fighting along side of the Goonswarm) 

    Being dismissive of such probably means someone has never been part of such activities, much less lead anything like one.

    Played Eve on and off for 18 years now. Been in every huge battle/war that’s existed that kept breaking player numbers world records. However, it’s the one game where I’ve had 0 interest in leadership roles to the point I’ve even turned them down. That’s like working three more jobs not just the normal one.
