I - not even a mere month in EVE - just got motherfucking podkilled for the first time by two assholes in low sec. I was traveling in an Imicus, minding my own business and merely jumping from one system to another when I was suddenly warp scrambled. I got into Local and plead for mercy but they attacked me anyway. I had no valuables on me, posed no threat and yet they murdered me.
Now, most of you will think GÇ£So what? Welcome to EVE.GÇ¥ and I would agree if not for the fact that I am ... or at least was roleplaying as a capsuleer who, similarly to Amarr royalty, refuses to use cloning technology. The financial loss and the subtracted skillpoints (I hadnGÇÖt upgraded my clone for aforementioned RPing reasons) are not what bothers me - they are minimal anyway. It is this devastating loss of purpose for this character. Right now I am considering destroying him and leaving EVE altogether because, fuck, this right here is a major joykill for me. Why are there malicious people like that?
tl;dr I need some serious cheering up lest I lose all my enjoyment of EVE :( |

If you want to play hardcore mode then biomass the character and make another. Isn't that the whole point of what you are trying to do? |

If you're going to RP someone who refuses clone tech, more power to you. If you don't want to lose SP as a consequence, I advise staying out of lo-sec, and even more I advise learning how to get your pod out. In Empire, the *nearly* failsafe method is to start spamming warp before your ship explodes; your pod will instawarp and you'll get away 99% of the time. It sounds like you were well aware that you were risking SP loss, and you must have clicked through the lo-sec warning, so I'm not sure what your problem is here? You made a gamble and it din't pay off?
More to the point the guys that killed you were roleplaying pirates; their thing is being merciless robbers who blow other ships up for the loot. Why should they believe you have no valuables? Why don't you respect their RP?
Anyway, don't quit. Dedicate your EVE career to a merciless and vindictive revenge (that's what a proper Amarr Lord would do). We'd be delighted to give you advice in this respect.
Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

refusing to use the tools available on the basis of RP is your own decision, and not a very good one low sec is a ganker's playground, its best to avoid it as most people shoot first and look if it was worth the effort later
nobody is going to look to see how old you are before popping you it happens to everyone, just stay in high until you can defend yourself.
learn to lose stuff, otherwise you'll never be able to deal with eve
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

Anyway, I might get in touch with you regarding that revenge thing. ItGÇÖs just that I have lost all my will to continue playing right now. |

Well all the goons I've met recently seem pretty allegic to any kind of risk. It seemed to suit the op's requirements for an organization. Don't be hating on me for helping your recruitment efforts!

I would have sympathy but...I got pod killed on my 3rd day after trying to go and rat in low-sec with my catalyst.
I used it as a learning experience.
I mean, you could always roleplay it as your character, in his final moments, suddenly realised how beneficial clone technology is? |

Quote:If they were RPing at all then not as pirates but as psychopaths. Why would I respect that? For the same reason you demand that your RPing shold be respected.
Also, Jade, take your meds or go have yourself checked out so you can get some. Your paranoia is showing. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

But... If you're roleplaying a character not wanting to use a specific technology for IC reason then you should also roleplay IC consequences and risks. Roleplay means also dealing with consequences and a non predeterminated event flaws. Consequences are just what give sense to your roleplay.

If your're doing the RP thing then why not make the new character a family member or someone hired to investigate the disappearance of the first character? You could go through his Rolodex and ask his contacts for information regarding his last known whereabouts, favorite restaurants and slave marts, etc. Naughty by nature, wicked by choice.-á |

When you make choices that are diametrically opposed to the game you signed up for, you will likely not get much sympathy. Diablo 1 & 2 (haven't played 3) have a hardmode as well, where if you die you stay dead. It is fun to play that way, but only if you are willing to accept the consequences. If not, change your outlook or change games.
Since you say you will not use clone tech, then the only option is to biomass, as the character is dead without a clone. |
