If you have no idea what you're doing, then you won't mind being in a Rookieship.
Ya know, we all started in the Rookieship?
Think of it as getting re-acquainted with Eve.
Prophecy, big whoop. Piece of junk anyway.
You are not your ship. You are not your wallet.

Originally by: Lady Caeser Inevitable flaming aside, this post does highlight a good point about bugged insurance expired mails, a situation which seems to have existed for more than a year now IIRC.
Works for me. I just got an Insurance-Mail in the middle of a fleet battle a few days ago.. sucked a little because i lost the ship a few minutes later and only got 40%
But i got the mail informing me that insurance had run out so it was totally and absolutely my own fault.  |

wow i no deferend. as soon as you get the contented zones you will find high level (long time players) there will kill you, and gank you..
its the same in all games, maybe except hello kitty, but still.. :)
Yeah but you don't actually loose anything now do you? AFAIK you can't even trade most items never mind loot them from a dead body. Wow is the uber-carebear MMORPG... thats also why the playerbase has an average age of like 12. |

Do I smell an eBayer?
If you'd been playing enough the first time around to get a BC, you'd have known that EVE is a NON-CONSENSUAL PVP GAME, and that flying into low sec / 0.0 is to be looking for PvP.
It's not the games fault that you went in to what is essentially a PvP zone in a ship you can't afford to lose. That'd be your fault... --------

Honestly, if you're an old player, you should've known that "autopiloting through lowsec is bad".
Or that:
"You might die."
About having only 2k isk, is a lie, as the prophecy pays around 11 mil in insurance even without insurance.
This is not a brag, but it took me two years to lose one single ship. Why? I read the tutorial, the manual, the warnings THAT POP UP ON YOUR SCREEN and thought "Hmm, maybe this warning means...i might get killed. LEt's not go there yet."
To this day, i've lost two ships to npc, maybe three/four ships to pirates, and those were situations where i knew a 100% i might.
This game is safer then any other MMO out there, if you use a bit of gray matter in your adventures.
So yeah, i have a problem with being serious, but it's the almost smallest problem i have. |

Actually I read somewhere the average age of WoW is 28, which is kind of sad 
Also I think ppl get more carebear as they get older.

Eve's average age is 27 (wiki).
Source : Linkage
It just shows that the most common people on WoW are not the minority of whiners mass-posting on forums or spamming the chat channels.
Saying that would be the same as saying that the forum community of eve is representative of most players in eve...

PS : just about the "12 year old" gamer in WoW, I mean, where in the world does a 12 year old gets 15 dollar and month + 50 per year (total : 230 dollar per year) to play a game on his parent's computer all day ?

Yes, older players have certain advantages over the new guys. That's what they get for all the time that they kept with EVE while some other peeps left and became uber with some other games or whatever. It is only fair.
If you had no idea what you were doing, why did you enter a dangerous zone in a nice ship that you had no money to replace? EVE like any game has certain rules by which you should try to play. You learn about these rules by doing the tutorial, asking questions in help channel, and reading this forum. Entering low security space you get a warning message pop up right in front of you. If you get a waring message popping up saying "Please don't step on the rake. Stepping on the rake will hurt. And you sure you want to step on the rake?" and you click OK and immediately get hit on the head by the rake, well it is not the cruel, heartless rake to blame for it now is it.

I just was tired of seeing all that non-sense coming from, hum, some "respectable" forum-warriors claiming they were more mature than WoW players, and looked for truth.
And found out that site (and others) that just show that basically the average Joe in Eve is more or less as old as the average Joe in WoW... destroying any claim of maturity advantage or age advantage for players in Eve.
Eve stays more risky, since you can lose things, but somehow, it would mean that risk averse people and people looking for risk are not defined by criteria such as maturity or age. Which is not really surprising, actually.

I will soon conduct a survey to prove that eve players actually have more balls than wow players, and although we have a small female percent thy have bigger ******* as well.

"More balls" Let me guess, all that time in space being irradiated by the sun means the Eve lads have 3 balls and the women 3 nipples. Yuck.
Or do you mean men with bigger balls? In which case scientific research shows these men are more likely to be unfaithful and poor companions, and that might explain why there are fewer female players.

Seems you were wrong to return, if you expect people to leave you alone because you ask then this isnt the game for you. Your loss is your fault. Its like running down a motorway and moaning becuase you got ran over. As for new players getting a chance LOL, You will never get a chance if you dont try to, everyone else seems to do alright. dont fly what u cant afford to loose, dont fly without insurance.

The hard men with balls are not in video games, they're in prison, or in the army.
Eve is a form of entertainment, not a rite of manhood or a badge of courage.
"Hey look I'm brave, I'm a pvp'er, I'm a hard man now"
No you're not.
Hard men don't sit in front of computers playing video games.

Charisi Avoaty....you made a mistake m8, dont worry about it....as for half the reply's that are flaming you....dont worry about them either.....alot of folk on these forums feel the need to flame anyone and everyone and they tend to have an over inflated sence of self importance....i think there all trying to bump up there post count so they can apply to be a forum moderator....iv seen it on many forums in the past...lol...its kinda sad.
Anyway...my advice to you is to learn from your mistake
Never fly autopilot in 0.0 or anything lower than 0.5. Always watch local while traviling in low-sec. Never trust anyone other than your corp m8's as you said...there are alot of scummy folk out there.
I hope this experiance aint put you off the game....i know this behaviour is sending alot of other people back to games like Wow (iv never played it myself)....but as i said...try and learn from your mistake m8.
Regards
Renosha

Yeah ok, all the tough guys are on the internet talking forum trash.
I think you should visit prison and teach those wussies how to be tough like you.
And for the record, someone like you is worth less than the turd in the bottom of a latrine at any boot camp. You are not fit to clean their shoes, much less criticise your betters.

So, Cypher, you're only tough if you're in prison? So some guy murdering his wife is tough? Some guy that beat-up a 12 year old and raped a women half his size is tough?
Genius.
You sound like you want to be in there with them. Also - alot people that are in prison are tax-frauds or thieves as well. Not really big physicals 'playas from da hood'.
I doubt this post will survive long because it's waaaaay off topic, but whatever. _____________________________ Eldo spanked my sig but I can't be bothered changing it just now. |
