Sad thread. Look up "friend", it has nothing to do with shooting them in the back to prove the world is a dangerous place. Mentor, teach, educate will do every bit the same and more than the OP suggested. Shame people think this way..


Look up "game." It has something to do with "Not being the real world."

One of the missions you do if you bother to do the tutorials requires you to lose your ship so you learn about insurance and all that.

You could also provide mentoring and sponsorship for your friend using the Goonswarm patented and tested system. Give him a [insert tier 3 frigate here] and tell him to go have fun. When he loses it, give him another. Keep doing that. Most skill books that newbies would want cost pennies to any seasoned player. Give him every skillbook he would need to keep him busy for the next six months.

Once you eliminate the financial burden of being a newbie, players will begin to experience Eve with the blatant disregard for their own well being needed to flourish in this game. It really works.

Never not feed cute newbies rifters and thrashers all day.

Plus, they can kill pods :)

I got lonely in an all male corp and I recruited some of my friends at work to play.. They were fine in the game til some lone pvper blew up everything they had and podded them back to high sec when we were trying to fly the 26 jumps through low sec to get to our null sec home.


So you talked a few people into playing Eve and then dragged some rookies 26 jumps through dangerous space and are SURPRISED when they get ganked?

Honestly, sounds like you're the one who did them the disservice.
