EVE New Citizens Q&A

I have played World of Warcraft (guildless) for over a year, finally reaching Level 14. It has a steep learning curve, and a big grind.

In my first four hours of EVE play today, this community has been much more helpful and welcoming than WoW for a year. The EVE learning curve is everything XKCD promised, and so far it looks like the fun will be in proportion to the investment. Ask me in 14 days if I am still here!

And year to reach 14? Did you mean 60-90 (depending on how many expansions you have) and wow is quite simple compared to eve Soooo hope you make it here! Fly safe

Wait, WoW and a steep learning curve? When, where and what is your age?

A year to level 14. Did you play 2h at start and then another 8h a year later? Level 14 and 1 year is hardly a hard goal

REPORTED for trolling

I feel like something is missing here. Like a 1 at the beginning of 14, who knows :unsure:

Just started EVE last night at the constant requests of a friend. I'm more than planning to pay for this game :)

obvious troll is obvious.

Welcome Grondi Mar!

I'm ISD Athechu from ISD:STAR (Support, Training and Resources). ISD:STAR is apart of the official Volunteer Program from CCP. We (STARs) dedicate our time to helping new players out learning the game and answer questions you might have.

To answer your questions:

1) http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Trial_account_limitations <- Trial Account Limitations tells you what you can't do basically.

2) You can only be training 1 pilot on an account at a time. Most players usually expand into 2 accounts so they can have 1 as a "Main" and a 2nd as an Alt (alternative) account to use. The reason mostly for this is so they can train 2 pilots at the same time instead of limited to just 1.

3) Most people will say it's very important as a lot of this game is community oriented. But there are people who play solo and don't join a corporation (or if they do they make their own and just make it a 1 man corporation). Personally I enjoy meeting new people and flying with others brings a different aspect to the game. There are parts of the game where you can't do solo (unless you got a bunch of alt accounts).

4) I would say check out http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Rookie_Help_Channel_FAQ it covers 90% of the questions we get in the Help Channels. But simply if you don't get how something works just ask :)

Well hope it helped feel free to ask more questions :)

You come to a Questions & Answer forum and then ask which question you should ask?

Really....


1.) Corps can be really important but also a PITA. It depends on you as a player and the corp you join.

2.) How do I give my stuff away (as a replacement question)?

Well, go to assets, select them all, right click them and create contract.

Set the contract to private and type in J'Poll and then hit enter 6 times after that...

EDIT:

Trial accounts are limited in only 1 way. They can't train all the skills in EVE. They can't train industrial ships and anything bigger then a cruiser. This is mainly to prevent throw away alts by veteran players.

And cause everybody is throwing links at you:

....BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

seriously?

I recently picked the Game-that-must-not-be-named back up to play with a few friends of mine, and within a month I went from 1 to 56 or so.

And if you think that *modern* WoW has a steep learning curve.....

still think you're a troll, but i'll give you the benefit of the doubt because this is the new players forum.
eve trial just stops you learning a few skills, that's pretty much it.
however, if you upgrade to a full account your remaining trial days are added to your subscription, which means there's no reason not to subscribe if you think you like it.

as for training, pick one character and teach it stuff, if you want an alt make a second account.

as for your questions. joining a corp isn't all that important. i've been in a few and now i'm back in the npc corp. might benefit you as a new player to find a corp just so you can ask people things but meh, i wouldn't say it's that important unless you can find a good one that fits you.
and you should be asking anything and everything. if you don't understand it, ask.

taking a year to get to level 14 is the the definition of terrible, not patient.
