Go deep into eve lore and be an insufferable prick about it on comms.

As someone who has quit playing as of last summer after 10 years of eve i'd say i wouldn't do anything differently at all.


I've enjoyed allmost all aspects of the game and got all out of it what i wanted.


The only thing i would change would be asking close evefriends for their rl email adress to keep in touch wich i allways tried to not do as as i liked to keep rl and game seperatly but so many old mates i flew with of wich i daily wonder what they are doing now and how they are in rl .

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

wise man told me almost 11 years ago that eve online is not a leveling game. not to rush it and in time you'll get what you want :)

150 million sp later would not change a thing ... ok maybe less skills in mining but hey even that has helped



<<<<<---------- alt of course :)

Yea, I started in early '04. Wouldn't change a thing either.

Contrary to advice and popular wisdom, I've always been more interested in the mining, production, transport, and market parts of the game. PVP is something I don't do much (but as you can imagine- I have teeth).

Today I'm very pleased with where I am in the game. But it was kinda of hard at first when all my friends ran off to be "PVP only". I had to make it on my own. Indy corps were out of the question because they got decced all the time.

So for more than ten years, my main has stood alone, and over the years I added additional accounts so I could achieve my goals without having to deal with internal corp politics.

Today, I am totally self sufficient and my corp is a respected member of a medium sized low sec alliance.

And... this is also an alt :)

I did exactly that over a year ago (with a 50+ M SP).
Best move ever.

I got in before the character sales market dropped out, was an easy ISK making character, so got a stack of cash.
Half spent on PLEX (before the market blew out), half kept for burning ships.

I knew how to optimise training for the ships I wanted to fly, so there was a month of pain, but then I was competent with the small stuff again.

Don't have to pay to play.
Don't care about losing the (cheapish) ships I fly.
Have fun watching the world burn.

The one thing I would change is my playstyle, I would play way more agressively. At first I approached other players with caution, beig carefull not to step on anyones toes. I thought I didn't have any leverage, as I didn't realize carebears even existed and meta gaming was new to me. It took me a while to see my own potential, but it was all over once I started hunting PI haulers in lowsec and got my first 100m+ kill in a <1m ship. The only thing I might somewhat regret is not seeking out a piratical corp to join as a newbie, but I made amends by starting one that's relatively easy to get into.

I wouldn't have wasted 5.5 million sp on missiles.

A recovering btter vet,  with a fresh toon and a determination to like everything that CCP does to Eve...

Don't take me too seriously though, I like to tease a bit on the forums, but that's only because I love you...
