EVE General Discussion

Eve doesn't have any predefined victory conditions - you need to provide your own definition of what it means to win. I'll suggest that if you're logging in and having fun you're on the right track. If you aren't, you can try a different aspect of the game or, if you simply don't like the sandbox nature of Eve and want a theme park experience - there are other games. Choice is good.

If you played Eve for a couple of years in the past (and presumably enjoyed it) you should have the skills and knowledge to earn the price of a subscription in-game. It's not that difficult.

just sub....this is like this game should be...just subs and back to trial accounts....as it should be....

ftp is a boil on the ass of every mmog......

Then quit.

The alpha state is for players that want to try the game. If you want the full experience then plex or pay. Quit whining and cough it up.

Has anybody made enough ISK for a PLEX yet, playing alpha account?

Bye!

As others have pointed out... you can buy game time as an omega using currency earned in game. Someone is paying for that time (to buy the plex)... but that doesn't have to be you.

My advice.... play as an alpha until you reach the point where you feel like you're stalled. You have all the skills you think you need trained that you can train as an alpha to do what you want... but the limitations on training have stopped you.

At that point... decide if you want to continue. If you do... buy a 3 month subscription (40 dollars... or less with a deal).

Switch training to PI IMMEDIATELY (for your main and then for two alts). Read up on how to set up low effort PI planets and do so in a low-sec area with very little activity that you can get into high sec quickly (there are pockets relatively near trade hubs).

Once you get those set up... 3 toons with that PI should get you at least 300 million isk a month with maybe a couple of hours worth of effort (after the initial setup... which is annoying and time consuming). Start building up your isk reserves for when your paid time ends.

You should be able to bring in the difference in isk needed each month without too much effort after that.

You can do it without the 3-month sub as well... just save up the 3-4 billion you need to buy three plexes. But it's a bit harder since you'll be emptying much of your wallet to start your initial omega period... and it takes isk to make isk.

Miner calm down!
How about trying to find a corp and try to stay in it for longer than a few hours/days?
Somehow I sense a very very special snowflake.


Otoh, don't let the door hit you on your way out.

When I go into car lot and ask to take the 2011 Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale Novitec Tridente- $400,000. ... a car I can't afford if I 20 years of my paychecks in my hand when I walked in.

And ask if I can take this car for an unlimited test drive... I storm out feeling cheated that I couldn't have a car for free that I could have never ever afforded in the first place. WTH lol

-Waves bye bye-

Dear CCP,

I have been playing on and off for 13 years and paying good money for this game. Recently i have been playing Alpha i think it is outrageous that I cant fly all my shiney toys that I have aquired over the years......hmmmm hang on, thats probably a good thing actually. If i cant fly them, then I wont lose them!!!!
