I have some friends who love sandbox games, but seem turned off to eve because of how the combat appears to be boring.

Can you guys please me some good eve videos? VBRs with coms are best. nothing more than 10-20 minutes if possible. I want these guys to see the true eve experience, and preferably not from the perspective of some guy with his camera zoomed out 100km.

I like the rooks and kings videos, but they are a little confusing to new players as well as being very long. Can you guys help me out?

All suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

Here are some of my personal favourites.

Tortuga Lacrimosa
Day of Darkness 2
Dronelands War

A nice mix of lore and playerpolitics.

There are many more great vids out there for introducing people to EVE, these were just 3 that I could think of from the top of my head.

BoBwins Law: As a discussion/war between two large nullsec entities grows longer, the probability of one comparing the other to BoB aproaches near certainty.

You know. If you are going to show them videos. Show them ganking or burn Jita. Unless you belong to a large alliance, you aren't going to get in a fleet fight, but anyone can gank solo.

If you want them to have a realistic expectation of what there is to aspire to in Eve make him watch something like this.

Anything faster paced than that will give them the wrong impression.

Like for the Clarion Call videos. Those are genius.
