Hey everyone,
I've found myself at a place where every single MMO is just way too dry, basic, boring and easy apart from something like Black Desert Online which kind of takes away your life and kills your spirit in endgame until you're an empty husk in RL (Not a bad game though, liked it).
I've tried Eve Online on and off constantly, I've never actually had a long session of play... or have played it with other people or socially. I've technically just on and off trained myself up to I think 20 mil SP following some guides to specific ships I wanted to fly?
Now I really want to get in on this because I absolutely dig the entire vibe and feel of the game but any time I try to play for a significant amount of time or get invested, I feel insanely lost regardless of reading every Wiki or Guide or whatever.
I enjoy every aspect of an MMO other than mostly "trading / economics / crafting", so I do know that Eve has a ton to offer for me especially as a PvP enthusiast.
I'm just wondering if anyone else had trouble getting into this game and getting addicted, sticking to it, and how they overcame that? I'm used to playing a character not a ship, being more personable, this feels different (not bad different, just different, it helps detach me from the game... so far).
I'd be willing to give it a shot again, re-sub, start training, and well... third time's the charm right? Would love any and all advice, or your experiences.
Cheers. |

Find a corp and then login and actually play the game.
The login to train skills waiting for the ship you want to fly bit, is where you went wrong.
I wouldn't restart. Keep your 20m SP character and go find a corp to join. If you find a corp which doesn't suit you, leave it a find another.
Just play the game, progression in Eve is all about you the person behind the computer.

Hi Vlad.
I've tried leaving EVE b4 but I can't either. Don't start again..depends on your ISK but go and buy some cheap frigates, arm them to taste and head off to low-sec. Cheap to do PvP 24/7.
I have to smile at the "**** fit" stuff tho, too many capsuleers trying to conform to an ideal. Use the sandbox to your advantage bro, it's a game after all. The last o7 show had some awesome unusual fits..
I'm trying to say (while the beer is busy) that you should go have fun.....hic

Also you don't need a subscription to actually play the game now. Everyone can now play for free as Alpha Clones which is basically an unlimited trial period with limited access to skills and equipment in game.
If you want unlimited access to all skills and equipment, then a subscription is needed which turns your Alpha Clone into an Omega Clone.
So give it a try as an Alpha Clone and after a while if you like it and want to advance higher in skills and equipment, subscribe and be an Omega Clone.

You need to just play the game.
You are thinking too much. Reading about the game can be helpful in answering questions but you need to experience something to know it. So you have to get out there and make mistakes so that you know what questions to ask.

I have to agree with Archi on this. You should not be coming up with 20 Million isk deep skill queues for ships that you don't even know how to fly. In Eve player experience is far more important than character skills. So just get out there and fly lots of different ships with lots of different fits. Beat your face against the brick wall at the school of hard knocks and gain some experience. Then you can decide how to prioritize your training.

Again I'm agreeing with Archi on this one as well. Eve is primarily an open world, single shard, PvP MMO. Make friends and find fleets and go out and have fun. |
