Hello all, I never made much progress with EVE but I always loved how the game had atmosphere in spades and how bewildering everything it was. Since I didn't make much progress in the past I've decided to start again. Can anyone tell me if rookie chat will be available to be or is that for new players?

Thanks :)

I think rookie chat is for the first 30 days of a new pilot's life, so it may not be available unless you make a fresh alt. Nothing stops you from continuing to train on your main, and just making an alt for sitting on the channel, but you can also ask your questions here and get pretty good answers.

Welcome back.

You might not have access to rookie chat anymore, but there are other help channels available.

On the left side of your screen (below character portrait) there is a 'channels' button. Click it and then the option that says 'Channels'. Click on help and a few help options will appear. People are friendly and helpful and will be able to answer any question you may have.

Local is a pretty good help channel for being stuck on a mission or something.

Rookie chat is garbadge unless there is a gm, dev or a couple of experianced and altruistic vets in there and the people who dont activly get paid to be there are only transient.

The f12 help is usually ok unless its overloaded.
If it is you might actually be quicker starting a thread in here, seriously.

Thanks all for replying. I'll be making a new character...as I said I never made much progress in EVE before so it will be good for me to start again. I must say the game still has the "wow" factor for me. I really liked the character creation and when logging in saw my character looking up at my ship it was simply awe inspiring. I will never make billions of isk...have fleets trembling at my emergence from jump gates, but as long as there is something new to learn or be gobsmacked at, I'll be happy.

None of us have made any progress. This is not a progression game. Also rookie chat is terribad. Keep the original character and find

Iv thought the same things , good to be humble early.
Legends are made with humble origins ,I still get the shivers from time to time.

Sorry was typing on my phone while at work and the message got clipped somehow.

I had typed "and find better chat channels" There are various chat channels that you can join which will be way better help than the official help channel.
