OK, so I send you a trial ...
- What server are you on? I don't wanna have to restart later ... (um ...)
- Which race is the best at [thing]? (they're all the same - just pick the back-story you like the most)
- Hey I'm sitting in this egg thing now, did I just level up? (no ...)
Actually playing the game though, after we get through all the "no, it doesn't work this way" stuff ... and after you've gone through the tutorials.
You send me your API key, so I have your stats, and I can fit ships as if I were you.
we start in on the SOE Arc, in destroyers or maybe I'm in a T1 frigate (IDK what's "appropriate" for the SOE Arc). Name of the game is "get through the arc". As we progress, I help mold your skills to be better in frigates, while re-living that sense of awe and wonder newbros have through you. Also, I keep you from doing something daft, like trying to get into a battleship in 2 weeks.
After the SOE arc, we go explore -- maybe I take you to New Eden, so you can see the remains of the EVE Gate.
Furthermore, I encourage you to do "whatever", but still keep you grounded to a reasonable plan --> e.g. "sure, go be a miner, but train these PvP skills anyway, because it will find you sooner or later" or "no, that idiot on the forums saying you can get into a battleship in a month is going to get you killed. Bigger is not necessarily better at all in eve." (then go EFT up a fit limited to the skills in that "30 days to a battleship plan" and let you shoot me and see what happens).
One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |
