EVE New Citizens Q&A

Okay so not so much as a question this time just more of an appreciation for the game or better yet It's community!

So as a noob I've been bombarding this forum and the in game channels seeking help and guidance on all manner of topics (mostly about the short cuts hah) and no matter how mundane these questions may be you guy;s have risen to the challenge and answered to the best of your abilities so thanks to that!

But today however I briefly met a soon to be ex - player of over a year who was willing to give me a fledgling noobie all of his worldly possessions of New Eden, so after just under a week of game time I now have over 600 million in ISK and so much stuff he had to give it to me in five different contracts, although it was mostly mining based.

I don't know if I should name names or not, but seriously just a huge thanks to this community in general.

The only question is now with such an abundance of riches, what on earth do i do?

Cheers guy's an gals

600mil sound like he got ganked a bit even a hisec miner should have more for over a year of play

This.


Then if legit, give it to me and I will double it....just kidding of course.

I would sell any item he sent you and dont use or wont use for the next 2 months.
Then make a 2nd character on your account and transfer most of the ISK over.

Basically you are making a savings accounts character to keep that ISK safe and you wont waste it on things.

my advice would be to pick a combat frigate you like, fit about 30 of them cheaply (5m per frig or so) and then lose all of them in faction warfare or red vs. blue. it will teach you the basics of pvp and may or may not help you to find a corp you like.

Well, If you'd like to do your part as well in giving back to the community, you might consider helping out other newbies who have been less fortunate than yourself, like this one here. Keep the cycle going.

Agreed. I've watched this guy in Rookie chat as well as other posts here, and I'm fairly certain its a plant account.
This surprise cash windfall, and then to announce it for all to hear publicly, is oh so convenient.

Was thinking exactly the same about the 2 people above.

Golden rules of EVE:
If it looks like a trap, it's a trap.
If it doesn't look like a trap, it's a very carefully set trap that you do not understand.
Never trust anyone ingame unless you are sleeping with them IRL (even then, be suspicious).
Never undock in anything you're afraid to lose.
The only difference between a friend and an enemy is that you stab your enemies in the front.


As for my suggestion of what next: Contract Brave Newbies. Tell them you want to join, but don't join until you are near their staging system (they have enemies in highsec who will see you as a target of opportunity while you are en route)

or why you would.
all you would do is feed their paranoia.

Edit: on second thought, redouble your efforts
