Nice one on taking the fearless approach to being a girl :D

Next time you're on join these two channels: "wgoe=public" and "EVE tutors"

WGoE stands for Women Gamers of EVE, the public one is where you can hang out and request interview with an admin to get into the girls only one. I hang around in the public one :3

EVE Tutors is a helping community sort of chat where a collection of newbs and vets can hang out and help each other. Much more casual environment than the official help channels, more personal too as people get to know you :D

What's this? Surely, you're too perfect a fit for the game to really exist.

Welcome to EVE, enjoy your stay.

True, time to just dive in and learn through doing. it looks like yes, I should join a corp. for awhile. I did try downloading the Vivox but I got an incompatibility error. Will try again. Thanks for all the help guys.

...and just in case you had any delusions about it: prepare to be the target of lots of sexual innuendos and general drama due to your gender.

Do you mean the voice thing from the EVEGate website? I wouldn't worry about it, not many corps use in-game voice anyway.

More likely you'll want teamspeak 3 or mumble.

The tutors chat as a teamspeak we use on occasion and WgoE intervirews are done in voice chat, usually something like TS too :D

Don't forget to drunkt in the jekd and use the ploates to binkle the stinkle.



...and noone ever really quits they just take a break then they come back to remember why they left. If you look through the "Hi, I tried this game X years ago and didn't like it but want to give it another shot...what should I do" threads you find these are the same people with the "RAAAAGGGEEE I QUITS" threads from years ago.

If you have a girl's voice use it to rob lonely neckbeards. Shake whatcha mama gave ya.

I wouldn't take too much notice of the rage quitters. Bear in mind that there several hundred thousand people subscribed and even if a tiny percentage of them rage quit publicly on the forums that is still going to be a few posts.

Have fun.

big wall o' text

Some people are just fine not PvPing. Everyone says that EVE is so much better for a sandbox - where you can do whatever you want - yet then say that "you aren't playing it right".

In Eve there is always PvP. CCP has tried to nerf it down a ton, but still a player can come pee in your cheerios at any time. Those that don't understand that provide tears that fuel my black heart. That said, every kind of PvP I've engaged in someone else has said its not "real" PvP. But sensi say, "always cheat; if you're in a fair fight you have bad tactics."

...Most videogames have it built right into the logic that you will win. Those games want you to have a positive experience so you'll buy the sequel. In Eve there is no guarantee you'll win. Even in the awful PvE which you can win at 100% of the time, another player can come in and gank you, or take the loot drop you needed to complete the mission and you'll loose. The only way to "win" at Eve is to fight for it. Even then, some days you'll be the windshield and some days you'll be the bug.

You need a good attitude for the times you're the bug. A learning attitude. My kickboxing instructor told me that we don't learn from our successes, we learn from failure. So you have to be willing to learn when your ship explodes. If you rage you won't learn anything and you'll provide precious tears Eve pilots love to collect. I had my Venture ganked in week 3 of Eve by a pirate. That guy became my first Eve friend. Provided me tons of information on protecting myself from guys just like him. I eventually became his scout for other ganks. It was great and he's still my friend today.

One final bit of advice: Don't listen to the carebears. You don't have to wait until you have 20mil skillpoints to do something fun. Get some friends in frigates and go camp a lowsec gate some where. With 30 days training you can be sitting in a stealth bomber cloaked up in null waiting for your first bombing run to start with Bombers Bar. 10 hours of training and you can join up with the New Order and gank miners for fun and profit. Not sure how much training, but not much, and you can sit in a Merlin and lock and jam those same New Order gankers, saving a miner and watching faction police blow up the gankers. If you can get into a null alliance you can be a tackler in a frigate on day 1 tackling ships bigger than you and helping your alliance mates kill it.

There are tons of things you can do in Eve that don't require you to have a time machine back to 2007 so you have the skillpoints. Resist the urge to spend your first several months cycling the mining lasers or rescuing that freakin' damsel.

Yeah, I don't see myself spending months on PvE, in fact, it's a little odd to me the notion of fearing PvP in the first place. It's pixels for God's sake. If I find myself limiting my play style it'll likely be isk related more than anything else.

It may be pixels but ships (and modules) in EVE take a long time to train for and are very costly usually. I think that's why people take PvP a little more seriously in EVE than in other MMOs.

Yep, maybe I'll even get a new toaster out of it.

Wait until you actually feel it.

Last night a newb in a frigate challenged me to a duel.

I popped him in under a minute and I continued about my day.

Later that night I went ratting in lowsec waiting for someone to try and shoot me.

Even though I was prepared as soon as a I saw the hurricane and thorax land on the grid my heart rate doubled.

It's awesome.....
