EVE General Discussion

BTW, an interesting line from your OP:



Which leads to a question:

- Are you surprised that a player who seeks out player made content in a PVP MMO enjoys the game more than someone who sits in highsec, doing repetitive tasks over and over?

Another bear tagged and bagged.

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie weither you win or loose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

Why are there so many kids opening up threads now ? O_o

Just ignore them and they'll go away anyway !

Go back to WOW.

You won't be missed.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

THANKS FOR PLAYING! :D

It is nice to see one I am leaving and one Im Back thread on the first page in GD. We lost one and gained another. EvE is truly evolving and is a better game today than yesterday. Thanks OP for doing the right thing and good luck.

I also played WoW, alot. I loved it untill first expansion when I was done with it.
Also in WoW, if you have played in pvp server, it's pretty much forced pvp, more like lvlcap epic nerd slaughtering lowlevels while laughing at it.

If you are in Null corp and alliance and you are living in null I dont really see how a wardec is ruining your mining career?
I mean mining in your corps own pocket in null with wardec is ALOT safer than mining in highsec without wardec!

Here is how to survive null mining while in war and other stuff.

- Choose suitable roidbelt in the system your corp/aliance has a POS / station.
- Use Hulk with tank! You need tank to repell those fat rats that spawn on belts.
- Always, always keep aligned to station / pos for quick espace.
- Have a corp mate / alt to do the hauling.
- Train scanning skills and look for gravsite, even more safe as it takes a while for enemy so scan you down when they enter the system, if they even bother to do that, gives you more time to espace back to pos / station.

For the rest of the time when you are NOT mining, it get boring soon.... ;)
- Train basic combat / tackle skills and learn to fly ships of your choise to at least to battlecruiser. You can contribute with small and fast frigate on combat, even with lowskills. My first days in Null years ago, I was flying a Rifter with basic tackle and speed. Had tons of fun and as I hope, respect as I did my part defending alliance sov. Later I flew cruisers, battlecruiser and so on.

- Also PI is nice passive income and your alliance can benefit from it too, making you a valuable asset to alliance / corp in time. Also basic PI skills won't take that long to train.

- Never EVER go to highsec while in war! Simple as that! Unless you got a ship that can survive highsec gatecamps.

- Remember, in Eve things take time. There is NO shortcuts. Plan your skill training at least 6 months ahead, I prefer one year.
- Keep a jumpclone in highsec just in case, never know when you need it. Also keep a spare ship suitable for your career in highsec just in case. So even if everything goes "Pete Tong" in null, you have at least something to return to.

In Eve, plan and thing things before you rush into them. In WoW, there is basicly no consecuenses for your actions, in Eve, almost everything you do has. This is most important difference between Wow or any other wowlike mmo and Eve.

I personally have lost billions of isk in pvp, made billions in missions/salvage/trade etc,have camped gates, had been blow to oblivion in gatecamps, been in rock bottom with no isk and crappy frigate and always crawled my way back to normal happy life in Eve.

And btw, it took me about year and half to really get into Eve. (Thou eve was a bit different in 2006)

Oh yeah, almost forgot, don't forget to salt your fries!
