So my first month of eve is over (still have 3 weeks because of 21 day trial) and I must say I'm addicted to this game. I have not experienced the road bumps that is basically the advertising for this game and I guess I can count myself lucky. The learning curve has not been that steep for me as I have my clan to thank for answering all my noobish questions. In my first month I have -joined a corp -made 400mil station trading -gone into a c2 wormhole with a corp before subsequently being tossed back out.
.........yeah that's about it. Will be moving to nullsec soon where the real fun is so definitely will be resubscribing. Congratulations CCP, eve online playerbase +1.

I converted somebody into an Eve player yesterday. It left a terrible taste in my mouth and I felt like a bad person afterwards. Eve Online: A Bad Game. |

I found a dead cat on the side of the road so I -átook it home and put some honey on it and cooked it and then I ate it. Is that bad? do do do dooo... GÖ¬ GÖ½

Welcome, i hope you enjoy this game as much as i have over the years.
Lol, i remember when my wife sayd he see tv document about virtual worlds and there was this eve online also mentioned... that it might interested me...

Welcome to Eve!
And don't worry.. the griblies will bite at some point. but you did exactly what people SHOULD do in this game.
Join a corp, learn from the veterans, and see what you can do. above all, have fun!
This isn't a game where you have to jump thorugh hoops and get a cookie, this is a game where you have to make your own cookies, and a big fat hammer to hit anyone in the face who wants to try and steal your cookie ( or looks wrongly at it.. or has an even shienier cookie and a smaller hammer.. )

To be fair though, another very nice player gave me 50 mil when he saw I was having trouble getting started. |

You did it right, joining a corp makes the world worthwhile.

Having been on our various New Player Experience teams and am, currently, sitting comfy in our Player Experience team (aptly named Team Pony Express) I just wanted to drop by and highlight the important parts of your expereience. All datamining supports the notion that players who join player corps on during their initial experience with EVE stick to the game. It's why we put a tax on the NPC corps, it's why we created the recruiting tools, it's what we're currently looking at trying to ensure people do.
So, welcome to EVE! You're now a glorious contribution to my statistics! I will try and refrain from using your contribution to make up lies. @CCP_PrismX EVE Database Developer and Expert Ranter |

Ahh, sometimes I wish I worked at CCP. Where I work we get called wonderfully playful names like "Team A", or "Team B".

This guy
he's doing it right Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

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 |

Let me finsh your EVE experience for you OP.....
You'll go to a 0.0 corp....You'll rat your little heart out until (A) Some cloaky guy parks in your ratting system and you all dock up or (B) You'll get bored to tears ratting your little heart out.....OFC you can do exploration for plexes and sites, but they'll most likely be found and farmed out by the time you go looking for them.
Oh wait, you went out there for the epic space battles! The battles where hundreds of players slug it out for control of a vital solar system!
It does not exist in EVE under it's current mechanics...It's blobbed or be blobbed and 9 times out of 10 these days the defenders would rather pack up and leave if the know that the aggressor is even slightly stronger than them.
Sure, you can go out on a roam with your corp/alliance...20,30 or 40 guys! Personally, I'd go to church first (or whatever religious domination you are,if you are) and pray that you might actually get someone or don't get hotdropped within 40 jumps of your starting point....Oh and take your time at church, it will most likely take at least and hour for a gang to form. |

Some of us are competent enough to kill stuff without 39 friends for backup.
Worst part is, I'm a frickin care bear.

I think you spelled "onion" wrong. Either way you should take responsibility for the actions of your pet onions and make sure they conform to forums rules, be they new or old. @CCP_PrismX EVE Database Developer and Expert Ranter |
