Thank you for writing that, it's really interesting and helpful to someone like me who has been in the game for only seven weeks. I liked your idea of simply setting a course over null and seeing what happened! |

I feel old now, I remember most of that.
We briefly considerd wardecking bump pow as ye looked fun and would likely have learned from being hunted down mercilessly.
Great post Azda.

The biggest hurdle to take as a newbie, and the most difficult to convey and explain, is to let go of the "must grind PVE because that is what MMOs are" mind set most people are so familiar with. EVE has so much more to offer than just that and it always pains me to see people being unhappy and bored, hampered by their self imposed shackles.
To any newbies reading this: The whole "I tried EVE the first time and did mining/grind, I quit because it was boring. Now I have returned and am reborn following a completely different path, well outside my comfort zone" happens very often. |

Great post Azda. Thanks old timer . May I ask why you guys didn't? Actually I misspoke there, I briefly considered pushing for it (though the Vikings are fairly loose with the big red button) I did mention ye once or twice but we got a couple of contracts so we didn't have a lot of time for "LoL" wars so I dropped it.
Edit: by "LoL" war I mean war for pleasure instead of business, didnt mean to sound condescending.

A year already? My gawd, time runs fast.
Glad to see you still have fun and thank you for writing this post, it's good to read stuff like this.
Now I wonder how long ago did I log in for anything else than just throwing another PLEX at MCT? Ages...

Hey Schmata! Good to see you post again, you kind of dropped off the map (as far as I could tell) for a while there.
Thanks Tipa as well, I think it's going to be a good year as well, building on the pervious one and all that.

Happy Birthday
Azda is one of my favorite EVE persons. If you are a newbro looking to get into PVP I would encourage you to berate him with questions. He is very approachable and cuddly.

Thank you for sharing your story with us.
due to IRL stuff I've not had much time to actually play the game in the past year. I mostly log into the forums and try to help newbros while drinking coffee in the morning and getting ready for work. It's cool to hear that you went from newbie to experienced vet in the time it took me to drink coffee. Sure it was a few hundred cups of coffee but you know what I mean. |

Azda rules and every newbro should aspire to be as half as awesome. Looking forward to firing upon you someday.
New Eden isn't nice. It isn't friendly. It isn't very hospitiable. Good thing there are people here to shoot in the face.
Want to make New Eden a nice place? Try this out.

We've been in the game about the same amount of time - I hit the one-year mark in June. In that year I grew by leaps and bounds, even when I didn't see it. I went from grinding missions to joining a lowsec pirate corp, to running a newbie corp, to living in wormhole space. I've found an alliance where I feel at home and a corp that I now consider friends, and THAT is the real key to success in Eve. Find like-minded people and have fun, never being afraid of loss.
Don't listen to the rabble about "you need such-and-such number of accounts with this many utility alts and you have to fly capitals." I've done everything with a single toon on a single account - not counting a throwaway toon I had for a week to do some roleplay stuff. I've never flown a cap of any sort and really have no interest in it. And I'm having the time of my life.

I just stole 5 ships from a dead POS. Two heavily faction fit, and when I logged in a few hours ago 23k players. I want to believe in happy stories, but in reality, those stories are over. |
