I can't create an trial account without changing local IP.


um, yeah you can... don't even need a second install of EVE. the only limitation is that you can't dualbox a trial acct and a full acct at the same time...


Last time i tried i had this very nice message from CCP :

"While we appreciate your enthusiasm to try EVE, we would also appreciate if you could limit yourself to using a single trial or subscription accounts only."

Now other than a proxyserver, i don't know how to counter that. But than again since i have a two main account, i never insisted on solving the problem. So maybe i am missing something here.



IIRC that's the error they throw when you try doing one of two things:
1. try signing up a second account with an already used email address
2. try logging a trial account and a full account in at the same time on the same PC

They don't care about how many clients connect from the same IP (else I'd have had a hell of a time playing at university...)

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Ah ok, so that's the second one that happened to me.

Easier to get around than i though. I guess i should start training then.

Thanks for the info Lol

You can run multiple accounts from the same email. However, they have to be paid accounts to run them at the same time. You cannot run a trial and a sub.

LoL sorry all i was out doing real life things. Yes eactly shoting each other till one dies is lame that hence game also till you way up in levels so rather pointless till you spend spend spend to get there!


Thanks for proving my point! That why player gotta sit for ages waiting for the skills to come. Unliek E.U you get skills by more you do not like wow just killing same thign over and over.

Try taranis vs. taranis. requires hugely skills, and not just fittings.

Hi all well been trying out the game for 4 days completed all the military mission i can they say level 3 missions cant do unless not on trial.

Also few pros and cons I have found so far. Compared to other games i played online. WoW Entropia universe etc.


Rookie help chat Nothing but people knocking each other, no one helps unless Mod is on.
Not much of a community in game what so ever.


Seems like a very repetitive game same thing over and over requiring no real skills.
As logn as you have the fire power and the tools you just keep going. Not very intriguing at all.


Game controls are very poor to say the least and the tutorias where terrible with explanation at first must reasearch a few online before you get the idea once you do good to go.


Graphics are very poor. And server has lag compared to many other multi server online games.


Over all experience well 4 days in and already to quit lol but will complete my 14 days will not bother to get a monthly account even at 15.00 would not be worth it in other games i spend 200 a week lol but well worth it. (dont have to spend that amoutn but i like the toys it brings)


So over all would not reccomend this game.



My 2 cents hope freedom of speech is allowed in this forums as long as it is properly done.



Another whiner that will return to Blizzard.

Eve is full of community feeling, just join a player corp and you will find that.
Rookie chat is full of Rookies, older toons can't join it so hey what did you expect.

How do you mean controls are poor. Just learn more then 4 days and they will in the end turn out great, the controls you now have are more then enough when it comes to really stress demanding times. In large pvp fights the controls are already cluttered sometimes.

On the repetitive thing, stop mining or missioning only. mix stuff up or get into PvP. You are spoiled by the grinding of other MMO's where you can advance to high level in just couple of days, if you like that, bye bye, EvE isn't your game.

Graphics are good enough, keep in mind CCP actually took into account even low-end PC could run EvE and there are a lot of people who run 2+ accounts at the same time.

But with this attitude, I hope you won't sub and return to WoW (or is swearing not allowed in here) soon.

Just watched a video of Entropia, looks like WoW with dinosaurs instead of Boars and Trolls..

I think the point most people are trying to make is that what you see as a downfall in EvE is exactly why we all love it so much. Someone with a career and a family has nearly the same chance further down the line as some kid who can invest 20hrs a day. No amount of repetitive action can increase your skill level in advance of someone who has spent more time "Learning" the game itself. Of course if you have 20hrs a day to invest chances are you will have more money to buy shiny toys, but you still have to invest the same time as everybody else learning new skills. Also this means that without any real leveling system to speak of, you have to learn more about your opponent than in other games. It's not just a question of LVL9 vs Lvl45 and knowing you have no hope of winning, rather the only info you get on your opponent in EvE is how old they are. Once you know how old they are you still don't know if all their skill is in mining or freight or combat. A young combat player can easily combat an older mining specialist for instance but unless you invest the time to know who's about and what to look for and how to find the weak spots in everyones armor you will be useless in any ship even the biggest ones.

Also relatively new players in frigates with basic easily trainable skills (under a week for all required) can function as a tackler which is a very important part of any fleet. My corp flew some Lvl4 missions yesterday and we had a beginner frigate and a destroyer with our fleet. Neither would have stood a chance except our combined knowledge of the game and how it works kept them safe against 20 odd battleships and battlecruisers plus support ships, and allowed them to make a huge amount more money than they would normally have access to. Nobody lost a single ship even the little guys, not because they trained for ages for hard shields and big guns but because our KNOWLEDGE of the game allowed them to fight and win against difficult odds. And you can't skill for that.

Contact me in-game and you can come along too if you like.

Are you seriously suggesting that other MMo's require skill to play at early levels? You're starting to sound like a troll to me Smile

Unliek E.U might be different, i can't tell... Looks like wow with dino's and reptiles to me.... Still 9 out 10 MMo's require no skill to play at early levels, and that is the way it should be unless you want new players that are (let's face it) noobs to rage quit after 2 days of play. A good a MMo takes you by the hand at the begining and let's you take care of yourself once you can walk on your feet.

As far as i am concerned, you're complaining about having to crawl like a baby because that all you can do at this point, and you want to walk before you should even start standing on your two feet.

Anyway the interesting stuff comes after little less than a month training. You will need to sit for ages to get to fly a BS well, but to get to fly a Cov op or interdictor frigate with more advanced gameplay tatctics, it will take from 3 to 4 weeks. You have played for little than a week now. Give it 2-3 weeks, and fly a cov op.

What you are right about, is the fact that you can't powerlevel in this game. There's no shortcuts, you have to wait for training to be done. Still, you don't have to wait months before some of the interesting stuff opens to you. If that's a problem for you, than i guess eve is not the game you seek.

I have seen both trial citizen's on their 3rd trial account try, and subed players not liking eve after 2 months, and they gave good reasons no to. You on the other hand ....

Go ahead do some yarring and see if you feel the same about eve.

PVP in eve is the sweetest drug new eden has to offer.
