If you ever need to file a petition, make sure to swear a lot and insult the lineage of the programmers at CCP. It also helps if you let them know you are in essence paying their wages to get them to prioritize your problem. In fact, for immediate action, just spam a DEV with messages.

Also, if it takes more than an hour to get a reply be sure to post in GD about it, that gets you a reply much faster.


If you have to wait longer than a day, send a petition asking when your first petition will be answered !

When your FC instructs you to hold on the gate, he means wait on gate for 3 seconds and jump through. FC's get really impatient when you don't jump through on time.

If you finaly decided to run your own corp, make sure you place ads elsewhere and openly invite everyone who wants to join. Make sure you assifn Director's role to everyone with access to corp hangars and Wallet divisions. That would help effectivelly run your corp.

*whispers* Sshhh.... between you and me, if you want to make ISK, try mining.
ISBoxer and a Macro Creator program, 20 accounts, you will make a ton.

Huh?.... sure it's legal, would I lie to you?

I hate that Jen, they never say anything useful or try improve EVE. We should troll them and get them banned from the forums. How dare they not echo our thoughts?!

Share and keep personal details in your eve mails. Go ahead and give out your real life name, address, and phone number.

Talk to people about anything that's different or possibly embarrassing about yourself in real life.

These things are totally private and secure, and cannot ever been seen by anyone but you and the person you're talking to.

When you are inside a POS shield, smart bombs are amplified to targets outside the shield. For best effect, make sure your fleet it's within 2000 m of your ship. You get more power from their capacitors for a lot of explosions!

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friends nose. Unless you podded them...and collected their corpse.

And once you have determined that your corp is successful, make sure you post about it, because what could possibly go wrong, it's successful right?

Even if your ship is not moving, always try to keep its nose pointed in the direction you want to warp in. You will be in warp faster.
It's called passive aligning btw.

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

Not sure if this sage advice has been posted yet.

Listing all your personal information in GD is one of the best ways to make new friends in this game that as we all know, focuses on love and sharing.

Before I understood Eve's server mechanics, I used to think this was true.

Secretly, I still do.

GD is the most reasoned and fact-based forum in which capsuleers honor and respect one another with love, camaraderie, and togetherness. It is, in essence, the true reflection of the kind heart and loving, helpful atmosphere encapsulated by the game.

So post often and always listen to the encouragement from your fellow pilots. They love you. They LOVE you.

Bring your possibles.

When a Goonswarm recruiter contacts you,, carefully follow their instructions on what you need to do to join. You will soon be in one of the most respected organizations in EVE.
