What did you most enjoy doing in EVE when you played it last? And what did you hear about that sparked your interest but you never got the chance to try?

And ignore the the raging poster, Eve is as fun as you make it. If you decide to have fun and do stuff, it'll be fun, if you decide to start crying because the big bad pirate blew you up, Eve might not be for you. Yes, you might die now and then, but it's part of Eve, you either learn to get over it and not get upset or you ragequit.

Also, since I don't think anyone has posted this yet, here's a nice overview of what there is to do in Eve. It is a fairly comprehensive (though not detailed) list of the different things to do in Eve.

When I first played EVE I wanted to be a hauler. Started off playing the market a bit with minor items and making a little cash here and there and was kinda fun but wanted to get good enough to hire myself out for loads.

I've been lurking the forums for years watching all the drama going on with nul sec and find it interesting. Hoping someday to be able to be a part of that but not having any experience or connections there I am doubting that will happen either... but we'll see.

Didn't realize I could resub for 5 bucks... meh, (drops coin into slot and hits Continue) lets see what 30 days does for me then...

Wish me luck!

No ones going to laugh at you (well stupid people might, but they are stupid so who cares).

I know exactly how you feel, I came into the game wanting to be a Bounty hunter, but just take one look at the bounty system and realize it is utterly broken it might as well not even be in the game (game would be better off without such a broken and abused system).

Now that I can't be a bounty hunter I just do a little pi ...hauling is more work then profit so no, and yeah idiots go after new player in frigs and industrial ships because they:
1. don't have the skill to go after someone worthwhile to fight
and
2. are weakhearted/minded/souled so they fight something that is weaker and has no chance of retaliation because they are just as afraid of being pwned like we are.

Other then that there is only mission running (extremely boring when you do the same horrid missions over and over again), Mining (which basically equates to losing 15+ million isk every time you fall asleep at your mining barge because its so freaking boring only millions of bots do it.) After all of that, the only thing left is to get owned in low sec and null sec because new players (or people who just recently began in the past few years) don't have the skills or the ability, or the Know How to go into low or null and make it worth their while.

P.S. Doing PI in Highsec takes a month to make any money from, not worth it.

The game is broken, it would be better off to not play then to even think that it is playable. Hell they tricked me into resubbing then kicked me while I was down and gave everyone else a better offer (a month for 5.95 where I had to pay double) just so I could realize there is still nothing to do in the game except get blown up and send iceland and CCP more of your real money, since that's the only thing they care about.

That's the hard truth, sorry for anyone who can't accept it or doesn't like the ruling.

& to the corrupt CSM and goons, why don't you go play FlyFF where you goons belong, bunch of lowlife clowns. Lucky I am not running stuff because I'd simply ban all the goons outright and then laugh in their face.
I'd also go after botting in all forms and ban anyone involved and use the law on my side to go after any group selling the bots. CCP doesn't do that because they don't care about their game, they only care about the money stream to iceland.

So anyway, scythe, it would be better to spend your hard earned money on a new game (Like BF3 if your pc can handle it or skyrim in a few weeks) than to just send it to CCP, because it really is not being used efficiently over there, they are practically wiping their ass with it.

I know I'm going to get laughed at for this but here goes...

When I first played EVE I wanted to be a hauler. Started off playing the market a bit with minor items and making a little cash here and there and was kinda fun but wanted to get good enough to hire myself out for loads.

Then I found out about how impossible it was to secure a load since people either scam, don't need your help, or just like blowing you up for the laughs. PvP is fine to me... I just like it having meaning beyond "hey, wouldn't it be funny if we just blew up that fragile transport for fun?"....

I actually played EVE years ago with a different account for about 4-5 months and kinda liked it. Stopped playing though after the corp me and a few friends had made got "metagamed" and Wardec'd and basically could not play due to not having the right skills and money to repel the attack.

So here I start with a new character and hopefully fresh prespective but am unsure how to proceed. I have heard of EVE University and am thinking about trying that out but don't even know how to contact them.. I'm that noob again it seems :)

This a good idea or not? Any suggestions to help me get started?
