EVE New Citizens Q&A

Just started playing, and after much research I think ill be doing faction warfare, what are some good and bad things involved with this that I should know about before i Jump in.

Thanks in advance

Hello.

As far as in-game goes. Factional Warfare is a good mix of PVP and PVE at the moment so get involved there and see how it goes!

I hope you have a thick skin. This game is full of cretins that think it's their right to be complete mongoloids. If someone acts like a pleb, its probably because they are complete failures at life.

That said, there are some pretty cool people out there too, seek them out and just learn to pity the general 'community'.

P.S. Moderation on these forums are a joke. Don't waste your time with losers.

I think that depends on the faction. Anyway, if that's true.. you're not going to like EVE very much.

'ALLO! MY NAME IS INIGO...
*ahem*
Right. Sorry about that...

The game is also full of self-righteous people with inflated egos.

See... Here is a good example.*

Some of the above advice is good (Thick skin - Check! Cool folks - Check!) and some of it is well... Bad (Cheesy pop-psychology - Down check! Forum whinging - Double down-check!)


Here are the bottom lines:
Don't fly what you can't afford to lose.
Don't whinge about losses - you *will* get ganked, and whinging about it *will* attract trolls. Unless you *like* troll-baiting; then have at it!
Don't protest game moderation on the fora - CCP won't answer you here, and you will - again - attract trolls. Again - Unless you like that kinda thing.
If you find yourself not having fun, do something different.


Carry on, fly smart, have fun!


*Myself , also.

You can do Factional Warfare, it's easy, I'll teach you, you should join our corp, the application fee is a low 250 million isk discounted since you are new, send that now and contract over your possessions so our hauler can move you and we can get started right away

Oh, and beware of scams.

Just sayin'.

a newbie could easily have 250m by having created his account via the buddy program and getting a 50/50 split on the PLEX reward.

or he could just have bought a PLEX or two to jumpstart his career in EVE (you'd be surprised how common this is).

whether spending that money on a "recruitment fee" would be a wise choice is an unrelated issue...

Hello and welcome to New Eden. Factional war fair is a great way to start. (before you jump into it tho i would recommend at least training up a few million sp in combat skills and ships skils. and doing at least the tutorial missions to get a grasp and understanding of the core game play n some free ships to sell.)

As far as the community goes like real life theres some creepies and some not so bad people. Get a thick skin. Dont bait into the trolls. Fly what your willing to have destroyed.

Other then that we hope you enjoy your stay fly Dangerous.

what what who are you what what do you want you want money or something I don't know

Wellcome to EVE.

Bitter vet advice: have fun :)

Basicly everyoen has diferent defintion of "fun" and thats what makes this game so great. You can do pritty what ever you want and have fun, as long as its your definition of fun.

You feel like joining FW ?

Great !

Try it, if you fail you will learn.
If you prevail, more power to you.

I would however advise on trying to find a noob friendly corp. Thats what kept me in game all these years.
Good corp is realy important. Or at least it was for me.

Flying solo usually means death. At least in the begining.
