What is Carebear?
In the MMORPG Eve-Online (www.eve-online.com) a Carebear is a character who stays in Concord (police) controlled space and never ventures into unsecured "0.0" space.
Unlike previous MMORPG related definitions, an Eve carebear doesn't necessarily eschew Player-vs-Player activity - a carebear may actually be a pirate or griefer who specifically stays in Concord controlled space to prey on new players (noobs).
Carebear pirates are commonly considered a cowardly form of pirate.
My character is in a carebear corporation; I never leave high security space.
He's a carebear pirate because he hangs out on the border of high-security space to gank noobs.

Carebear - what is it?
Back in the day, Carebear referred to a person or a game mechanic which eliminated or reduced all risk and challenge and realism from the game.
These days people throw the term carebear around to mean ANYTHING derotagory. Want to craft? You're a carebear! Don't want to play an mmorpg like a first person shooter? You're a carebear! Don't like to play the game like I play the game? You're a carebear!
The term carebear has become mangled and meaningless. But it used to mean something important to hardcore gamers.
Examples of the ORIGINAL term are:
No full loot was "carebear"
Safe zones were "carebear"
Limits on who you can attack and where you can attack them were "carebear."
Limits on freedom in general were "carebear."
Instances were "carebear."
Carebears were people who wanted devs to develop/change games to make their gaming experience easy, safe, and cozy. No risk, no challenge, no realism. Cozy like a carebear.
What does "Carebear" mean?
Term applied by PvP (player vs. player) participants in an online role-playing game to those players are disinterested in PvP conflict. Usually derogatory.
Antonyms: Ganker, griefer, PK scum.
Me and the boyz used to gank everybody at the crossroads, before the damned carebears got the rules changed.
Carebear - what does it mean?
Enjoys the boring side skills in mmorpgs such as crafting and blacksmithing and protests against any competetive nature in the game because they only have time, and not skill.
Often posts complaints on the game forums about getting ganked while collecting resources.

Carebear - meaning
One who does nothing but stand around and look, while all other are helping or putting in effort to help with something.
Often uses his special power, "carebear stare", erroneously thinking that it has an effect of helping the situation at hand.
In truth, a carebear often is an irritant to all others in the group/team who are seriously helping out while he tries hard to look as if he is helping and caring.
A carebear often makes use of the great number of people around him, who are doing work, as a cover for his "Carebear Stare"/slacking.
Often happens at Scout/girl-guide Camps where everyone is doing their part to pitch tents while the carebear stands around intensely gazing with his "Carebear Stare" to look like he is contributing.
Also occurs in the office (eg. meetings) where the carebear looks on while the group is actively contributing to the project discussion.
"What are you? A carebear? Come on! Help out like everyone else is doing. Don't just stand there and slack and pretend that you're doing something when you sure aren't."

Hey guys, i'll meet you later on battle.net for some fun 3v5 computers!
Carebear
A person who plays a well known Player vs. Player game (PvP), but is terrified of actual PvP. Also known as a sissyor a bed-wetter. Plays on easier servers where they can toss flowers and poems at each other, and still insist that they are equal in playing ability.

Carebear
A Carebear was originaly a PK guild in UO. For a history search the MUD-Dev archives of Usenet for the term.
Over time it has been twisted to be an insult. It usually refers to any online gamer who refuses to take part in PvP or wants to see all pvp removed from online games.
It can also be used to refer to people who want to see a censoring of all possible 'objectionable' material from an online experience.
That carebear is trying to get them to remove all the smoking referecnes in the game!
Carebear
A derogatory label and self assurance, used by little boys, whose only baddassery, comes from making their cartoon characters jump around and hit other players real good. Their fragile egos exist only in the form of number of PVP kills earned in a video game and are thus, sadder than you.
Used as a form of counter whining, and childish ad homonym to express frustration at the fact that other players may not enjoy having a 14 year old with self esteem issues and an internet based upbringing, or some 40 year old virgin who dry humps his keyboard for 22 hours a day- killing them while they're trying to play a game.
Those who use this phrase are usually used to chat speak and are generally unable to form complete sentences and original thoughts due to the brain filled with hopes of honor points and other such virtual pride.
Talk about how much a pussy people who aren't into PVP are but offline are the biggest chickenshits around. They honestly think anyone with pubic hair actually considers them to be intimidating.
Used by people who have no life outside a video game.
You may call me a carebear because I'm "afraid of PVP" but if I unhinged your Dorito specked claws from the keyboard and put a woman in front you...well, you'd probably wet yourself.
