Hi to all,

Just wanted to share My first experiences with the game.

I started with mining and I like it so far, I found that making money isn't all that difficult. (Especially when everyone gives You money Blink )

I then tried a mission in the security mission with My fighter spaceship.
My first mission was a big succes, so big that I took another one from the same agent.
This went not so good, I barely escaped with My ship from being vaporized.
The good thing is that I learned from all these ups and downs in the universe.

In one sentence: So far I'm enjoying EVE Online.

Well make sure to do the tutorials, and the epic arc as well. Also get some +3 attribute (learning) implants as well.

That will help buy you time, before the jerks show up. GL HF

Dude... the name is Epic I tell you... I can see you using catchy phrases while pirating in low sec:

"You have been Acuss'd... 1b and I'll let you go"

"This is the Ninja. He will scan you down; he will salvage your wrecks and there shall be no aggro"

When you're ready for a good challenge, head into wormhole space. Glad to hear you're enjoying it so far.

Do not listen to this man. He is trying to get you killed.

(Seriously, wormholes are awesome. Learn to scan with probes and bring friends, though.)

I for one welcome you.


The next ten years of your life shall be spent in a mildly delusional state of paranoid euphoria.

The people that you think are your friends will actually hate you, and the people that hate you will really really hate you.

Occasionally you will meet people who do not immediately try to kill you. Be extra careful then: they are probably scammers after your ISK.




Then.

When you have finally reached the point where are running twenty seven characters over nine accounts the truth will finally become clear.

Your alts truly love you. They are your only friends.


Welcome to Eve. Eve is real.

[i]I have seen so much of it, that truly I know nothing of it, except that it embaces me.

Nice writing there Smile

Being in a state of paranoid euphoria is all in a days work for Me,
Outside Eve I'm a diagnosed paranoid schizoprhenic with a drug problem (hence the euphoria Blink )

I find when I read these comments that Eve isn't really that different from the 'real' world.
There is allways a catch, so You better make it a win/win catch or step out of the playing fields all together.

The human race is a cruel and manipulative sort and to survive it, You have to think like one...
So it's a good thing that I'm also human Blink

I for one look forward to the impending 'IM LEAVING AND TAKING MY SUBSCRIPTION FEE WITH ME' post destined to happen when this guy gets ganked.

Begining transmision.....

Here is a tip for a noob and this comes for free and its the last tip i will give you!
Whatever you do. Do not accept any trades or attempt to join Goons or Test or any of their allies even if they promise to give you a titan in return. You will only get scammed, blown up and podded to high sec! You have been warned!

End transmision.....

TL;DR Even if you trust no one you WILL be scammed, blown up and podded.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
