So. I've decided to re-activate my old account from 2006, and I remember....absolutely nothing!
I've got a 2.5m SP character, apparently flying a Hoarder in the Heimatar system. I've also got roughly 700k SP that I can distribute, probably because it looks like some old skills are non-existent nowadays? Finally, I've got 3 respecs for my attributes, if that's even remotely important in 2012.
Would you fine people advise me to continue playing this toon, or do new characters have boons that outweigh the above?
Thanks! |

Keep this character for sure.
Nothing a new character doesn't get you except having to retrain your core skills. Remaps are still valuable and the SP you can Allocate comes from the removal of Learning Skills. Those attributes have been folded in so you train faster now. |

Maybe he should redo the agent missions, especially with the cash they give now, and then decide All new players should head directly into pvp, even if they don't plan to actually seek combat often, because it will build up a proper mentality that will ensure that they'll become long-term players. It's much more difficult to demoralize a player who was exposed to the sense of loss early on, than a player who wasn't, and spent a long time accumulating a modest wealth, only to lose it all to a single ganker/scammer/ninja salvager etc.
Everyone needs money, but money should be a means to an end, not the end itself. Just because I recommend that he should train pvp stuff right away doesn't mean he's always going to be a pauper.

Continue to play this toon and try out more than one aspect of EvE straight from the beginning! Look into pvp, pve, industry, trade etc. - maybe attend to an apprenticeship (eve univerity or else). That's my advice. _______________________________________ Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime. |

Missions now with 25% less mind numbing
But I preferred my way I did industry got rich enough then did PvP and saw how those poor destitute people lived.
They had to worry about loosing a few hundred mills worth of ships and I didnt have to care. Nor was i hiding behind a SRP

Starting a new char is essentially pointless, new players have very little sp and you can probably do the nooby things if you wish (tutorial missions, sisters arc). You have more sp to allocate than a new char has total. |

Thanks everyone.
I'll do some reading today and check out my skill planning tonight.
First priority is finding a nice Corp, and I'll do some mining to re-learn the UI and mechanics (safest way I presume). Probably need to insure my Hoarder, as I don't have that much ISK to fiddle around with and I noticed that it's not insured ;)
With regards to my skills: it's the basic stuff after quickly looking yesterday evening. Gunnery, Frigate (so I could fly a Hoarder/Mammoth), Shields, etc. |

Check out the new rookie missions! They give away lots of free ships skills and items. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Career_Agents "Don't count on others for help. In the end each of us is in this alone. The survivors are those who know how to look out for themselves." |

Don't use those free skill points for at least 1 year as you re-learn what you want to do in the game. Test things out and fly around. After a year when you know what goings to be fun for you for the longer terms invest the SPs.

When they removed learning skills from the game, they reimbursed everybody with the skillpoints that they had invested in them.
Edit: Just noticed somebody else mentioned this already earlier in the thread. |

Welcome back, be careful with your SP's - have a long look at what direction you want to go, and apply accordingly.

Seeing that I've got the option to do a respec of my attributes (actually, I've got 3 respecs?), would I benefit from changing something?

Your attributes determine how many skill points you get per minute. Each skill has a primary and secondary attribute attached to it.
You accumulate skill points in a given skill at a rate of Primary + (Secondary / 2) SP per minute.
So, whether you respec, and where you move the points to again depends on which field you're planning to specialize in.
That looks like a not-bad array for now, so I'd leave things as they are until you've settled on a skill training plan and committed to it.
however, I'd recommend you put your free SP into cybernetics, as that skill will allow you to fit implants which boost your core attributes without having to respec, which in turn will increase the rate at which you accumulate other skills.

Well, that's not entirely true. He could start a new character, and make it a female Achura, and buy some hot pants for AUR. Couldn't do that in 2006... :P |

I don't know anyone who builds capitals by mining for the minerals, just saying. |
