The forums will only let you post here as you are a trial player and it stops people from creating trial alts to plague the forums with (at least to an extent).
First off, welcome to Eve.
Before I say anything you have to understand that Eve is not for everyone. It is harsh and unforgiving and you can be attacked in space almost anywhere without repercussions. (I say almost anywhere as the rookie systems are all off limits for older players attacking new ones. That doesn't mean people wont, but you may petition it if someone does).
First things you should do are the tutorials and starter agents, all of them. You end up with experience and ships to spare. After the tutorials you should probabpy look at doing the Sisters of Eve Epic Ark; The Blood Stained Stars. You probably won't be able to kill Dagon (the end 'boss' (using that term lightly)) by yourself, but it's basically there so that you will get used to asking for help and working with someone.
In regards to recruitement, check out this subforum, while you cannot post in there while on an trial, you can still browse and mail people whose corp you like the sound of. Be aware however, not all of them (I mean the majority of semi competent corps) will not allow trial members to join. And get used to sharing an API key with people.
Obviously there are different types of corps out there, so have a route around and figure which corp is best suited to you (the link takes you to an epic thread by Nightcrawler 85).
There are also corporations out there that are designed specifically for new player teaching such as Eve University. Theere are some really good new player friendly corporations that are based around PvP (such as RvB). Some corps also run different types of classes too which such as the Agony Unleashed classes.
You will also have to decide what you want out of Eve. There is no point joining a Wormhole corp if you want a Hisec Mercenary corp.
Finally, check out the sticky at the top of this subforum for some other useful reads.
Hope this helps.
Edit: Post cleanup.
Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person." |
