I love EVE. Always have. It is much more enjoyable with friends, but the trick is keeping your friends interested.

This is a high effort, high time investment, high loss kind of game on a scale much grander than Ark small tribe conquest servers could ever be, except without worrying about offline raids. Unless you've got a nullsec base goin' on.

Mining while tabbed out and doing class work is super friendly. I used to use the Jukebox and Notepad in game while mining back in the olden days and do homework in the notepad, then copy and paste it in the actual work afterward. Just never risk what you aren't willing to lose, because there's definitely gonna be people always trying to blow you up and steal your remains for fun.
