Thank you for the useful info on pod survival though. Not sure I'll be that grateful when I will see you approaching... :)
You'll find that the people most likely to kill you are usually the ones telling you how not to get killed. They're kind of nice like that Pirate

A GF or o7 in local always goes a long way, especially if you PM your killer(s) and ask them for advice or how they managed to pull their kill off.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Great story from Azda Ja!

The people answering us in the New Citizens Q&A forum are very friendly! Now for the EVE universe itself, my answer would be different. But somehow the fatal attraction in EVE lies in that the same person that will ruthlessly kill you in low-sec might also be a very friendly and nice guy once you talk to him.

I just hope that most of you (us?) are like that, and not d-bag and trolls. Now I know also that some rejoice in 'Tears', i.e hearing the frustration and anger of people losing stuff, if I get things right. Now who is the man with the wrong attitude? The guy enjoying 'tears' or the guy being angered from losing stuff in what should be a game and a hobby? I don't know and I'm still undecided about that. Though I'm sure EVE has its lot of psychopaths...

Remember though something, if you look into the abyss, the abyss will look back at you (that's a quote from Mister N. Blink ). So I do know that if you think that the end always justify the mean, you are also losing yourself.

tl;dr : welcome back! I have too an old account and yet I'm totally newb to the game.

while I don't actively go looking for tears, I will gladly take them from the type of player for who will start spitting vitriol because i blew up their internet spacepixel ship, I'll go to town on them and share the glorious nourishment of it with my Corp mates and gloat over it for days.

However should they take it well I'll go far out of my way to offer help ,
I have sat for hours talking to newbies(after shooting them in the face, obviously) ,
sharing information about the various resources on offer to help them,
iv replaced ships, given isk, shared fits and even recruited one because they had a good attitude and were willing to be social (and importantly were not belligerent arseholes ).

For the most part I have found the vets to be like this as well.

Also, words of warning : this sub forum is explicitly troll free ,
the rest of the forums have been effectively weponised (I'm looking at you General Discussion) so read for a while before you start posting, it is exactly the same as in game though, if you're belligerent and/or whining you will get schooled in trolling and creative putdowns , be cool about it and for the most part people will respond in kind (As we can't shoot you in the face on the forums)

Azda Ja

Honestly, my biggest regret in not being able to remember any of my old account info, is that I can't get in touch with the dude who blew up my Harbinger and say thank you. The little amount of effort he put in that day, saved the game for me. It also opened my eyes to what kind of game eve was, a sandbox. I wasn't aware of the term at the time, but I "got" it. I think that's one of the biggest hurdles for a new player to EVE, understanding that this isn't like every other game out there. I came for the the spaceships, and ended up coming back for the sand.

Sorry for the novel, once I started I kind of got carried away. I REALLY like this game is the main point.



TL;DR: EVE is a special snowflake in the gaming world, and I mean that quite literally.

If you did use the same email for the registering of your accounts, there is a function inside account management that lets you see what other accounts is connected to that email. It helped me recover my forlorn first accounts (this one)

Oh cool. I'll dig around and see if I can find my old e-mails or passwords and try it out. Thanks for letting me know.

Grrr.

Thank you.

I found it actually and strangely remembered username and password I haven't used in 6 years. That account has much higher level capsuleer and more ISK and ships, but it was registered under different e-mail. I will try to chage mail and merge it with my current account.

Yay, managed to connect them... Transfered 450 mill not sure why was I that poor and some 5 ships that were parked on Jita... :)

Now I need to find a way to bring them back. That 18 jumps journey was not that pleasant. :)
