Don't worry, you can still enjoy EVE from the start without having uber skills. It's learning the game in RL thats fun.
EVE is great.

Absolutely. Fact is you can actually be a value to experienced players in combat as well by simply taking a crash course in Electronic warfare. It is very possible to have fun in this game if you STOP LISTENING to people who has played for years, they don't remember what it is like being new and they don't understand the benefit from doing all the tutorial missions. When I was new, I asked for advice and all I got were 10 alternatives and no definitive answer, so I made a path of my own. If you're gonna ask for advice; ask only ONE guy because if you ask someone else he has another opinion. A third person will say something completely different as well.

best thing I've heard someone say in ages.... play the game your way, listen to others yes, but in the end, you find what works for you.

The worst question you can ask a vet is "what should I train".
The best is "I want to do X, how would you do that?" and then make your own mind up.

I tell them its all ways best to train learning skills first since they will speed you up a lot when you learn other skills.

I agree.
If you are new and find yourself amongst felow corp-mates that have 10+ million SP the most important thing you can do is support them and in tern learn from them. Even if it's just helping with lvl 4 missions, do it.
If your corp runs alot of missions then get yourself a frigate or destroyer with a decent amount of mid slots and paint targets, web frigates, cap x-fer, small remote armor repair, shield x-fer, sensor boost, tracking enhance, etc. Older players are always leary of newer players and helping them out in this small way will go a long way towards gaining their trust. Before you know it those old school players will hook you up with an endless suply of cruisers and invaluable knowledge of the game.
If they mine alot then get yourself in an industrial and haul ore for them. Most corps will offer you a cut of the ore after the op. Or just pay you outright. 20 million isk buys alot of frigates.
And FFS don't rush to get a battleship. Too many new players get their shiney new BS just to lose it in the same day with no insurance. It's really sad.

My advice search for dedicated players and some of the older corperations before spreading your wings cause now you think 100k is much when you get the hang of the game 100 mil is nothing for example best level 4 agent bonus i got was bit over 200 mil in building materials I even got a POS tower at a point and am not talking about the named loot.

Well im on a 14 day trial and just decide to buy it. Sort of stumbling through the game, have real problem with skill atm as i cant upgrade my merlin (no mechanic skills). Still all is good, Joined a corp, was asked what i wanted to be (trader), got handed 1 mil and started makin money. While your saying to carve out your own path, corporations really help.
P.S is there only one server? Or is it just an intelligent IP system that has located the best server for me?

there is only 1 server. It's one of the things that make this game so good.

If you start EVE, don't be discouraged because you won't be an expert after 14 days (of trial).
I've been playing for 14 months and I'm still learning.. 
Take your time, there's a lot to discover.

Amen to that. I didn't even try the 14 day trial. From surfing the website and reading about all the different skills, ships, options, and after looking at the expansive map, I determined that this was the game for me. After almost 20 days, I've amassed a small amount of wealth and training and I can see that I've only scratched the tip of the iceberg! Well done CCP, the Japanese and American corps that produce MMORPG's should sit up and take notes.

Advice I'd offer, is _don't_ just do the learning skills.
Get 'em up to level 2 or 3, but then train up for the best frigate of your race (frigate 3) and then start improving skills as you see a need for them.
Ideally, keep your 'learning' skills as your highest, but don't feel that you've _got_ to train them to 5 straight away. Because otherwise, that trial, indeed, the first month or two, is going to be remarkably boring.
Learning skills pay off in the long run, but neglecting them a bit in order to get into a Tier 3 (requires Frigate III to use) and fit it with some reasonable mods, is definitely the way to start.

If you are obsessed with being better than everyone else or if you are used to beating most others at whatever game you play, then EVE is not for you. Why? Because you will never catch up with those that are really truly great at this game.
Fortunately, for many new players, that is not the case. If you are looking for a fresh environment and a game that is intelligent and almost limitless if flexibilty, then you have come to the right place

Skill is not having money or skill points, its knowing how to do well without either.
A good EVE PvPer can shred you in his Rifter, or pirate at gates in low sec in a cheap Ferox. While they often use expensive equipment and ships, they don't need them to do well.
A good EVE industrialist does market research. He can spend an hour and give you a list of items that you could make billions on, tell you where the best places to put the orders are, and predict how much people will attempt to undercut you. He gets rich without anything fancy--simply by playing the market.

Hows this for a comment on how much Eve has affected me? Since I started playing Eve I have not purchased any other computer game. Period.

in fact this is the most important thing a noob could ask anyone, you wouldnt understand that without this they dont realise the importance of say learning skills...
