Hello Evians,
I'd just like to say hello as this is my first post on this 'ere forum.
An introduction to my situation: This is the first mmorpg I've played - I was introduced about 5 months ago by a friend who has since stopped playing. He gave me loads of advice, and the past 5 months I've learned a lot about the game mechanics of Eve, but my friend managed to scare me into not going down to low-sec space because of all the nasty gate-campers and piwates I've heard tale of. This coupled with an overwhelming majority of Corps looking for people with 5mil+ SPs minimum to join, I decided to sit in High Sec running missions and training skills until I felt I was ready to enter the PvP world of Eve.
It's dawned on me recently, that daily PvE and skill training is rather boring and players refer to people like me as Carebears, which I'm not really happy with, hah!
About me: I'm a Caldari pilot with 3.5mil SPs, and a few frigates / couple of cruisers. I'm really looking to start with the PvP side of Eve, but don't really see the point if I'm just going to get blown up as soon as I enter low-sec. I don't mind paying for new ships or whatever, but I also don't want to waste my time, as the turnaround in this game doesn't appear to be too fast- and silly losses I regard as a waste of time!
I'm in the UK, I work at home so I'm around a lot, although I have quite a few commitments which mean I can't be around all the time. I'd like to join a bunch of mature and friendly people who are willing to gradually introduce me to PvP, if this isn't too much to ask. I really want to be part of something and help contribute to a corp - I have no real selfish goals apart from wanting to go into combat. I have little regard for my security status, which at the moment is unreasonably high thanks to all the missions I've done.
As long as I'm learning, contributing towards something and have the collateral to survive, I don't mind what the hell blows up. Sorry for the long post, I look forward to hearing from some of you :)
