Hello :D
I joined the game in January and i have been skilltraining a lot, but I feel like I haven't really done much in the game.
My corp isn't very active and I don't really talk to them, and I have completed some of the tutorial missions, started on the epic arc, but I just haven't been playing much at all.
I'd really like to get back into the game but I don't know where to start o.o
I still feel like a complete noob :(

Any advice?

Well....
Try to get better corporation, or try to find something that would really interest you in the game.

Figure out which aspects of the game interest you the most and invest some time in finding a suitable, good quality and active corp that is aligned with your interests. EVE gets boring when playing alone, being in a good corp/alliance makes it a totally different experience.

Yeah really sounds like you should ditch the pants corp.

Hisec fail corps are the worst. Spent my first six months stuck in one, and hated it. No one was ever on, and we had a terribad ceo who thought his sh!tfits were actually worth something in PvP. After having our third "war" fail to happen, I said screw it, biomassed, rerolled and never looked back.

Moral is never accept a recruitment invite from anyone. In all honesty I would have preferred he stole my stuff and ganked me then endure the that torture...

I'm working on building up a corporation that works in high and low sec. I know what it can be like when you join a corp and no one wants to hang out with you. I find it counterproductive for both senior and especially the junior members of the corp so trying hard to not let that happen here. If some one is having trouble or getting bored I don't mind flying over and helping them out. Even on lvl 1 missions Big smile. Search Kitagawa in the chat channels.

Hello Ambrynni McNeil

It sounds alot like you're missing some personal goals. You have have the best corporation in the world, but if you aren't doing anything in the game will you not have the motivation to log in.

The first thing I would recommend is that you find a few personal goals. A few examples could be: # I want do experience the Player vs Player side of the game.

# I want do try out incursions.
# I want the experience of living in a wormhole.
# I want to acquire 1, 5, 10 billion ISK
# I want to becoem a capital pilot. In short is there a ton of different goals that you can try out.

Once you found a few goals for yourself would I recommend getting into a newbie friendly corporation. You can join corporations like Eve-Uni which is more of a stepping stone. You join, you learn and then you move on to a more specilized corporation.


There are also corporations that take in new players with the aim to have them grow with the corporation. Also a very important thing do understand is that no matter how good the corporation is will most of the responsible, if not all of it be on yourselve. Yes corporations help and guide it's members, but coming from a CEO in a "new player friendly" corporation are there alot of new pilots who just stick to themselve.

There is nothing better for a corporation than to get a member who's interested in the game and actively asking questions about the game. Those players are the ones that stick with the game and stay in the corporation. New players who just stick to themself and never really join fleets often end up without a reason to log in.


Hope that helped and should you have more questions then send me a mail in-game or visit our channe [Sound]
