Alright, so I originally tried to EVEmail this to you.. but it cut out while I was writing it.. Guess its too long. Anyway, this is going to be a bit embarrassing probably, but what the hell.. this is the internet right? So screw it. However.. I am posting with an Alt.. because some of the information I mention in here would probably get me in some trouble with my main otherwise..
I've been playing EVE for a little over a year and a half now.. This is my first and only character here. I've watched people come and go in my little corporation here.. I've grown up to the designation of "Elder", which I guess is about as close to a director as the CEO will ever allow. I've been a struggling PVPer for a long time.. I'm not very good, I'll admit.. But I do try. Or I did. I guess this is where the story will get a little odd (or maybe not.. depends on how you look at it).
Anyway, I've been hanging out with this girl for a while. She's absolutely amazing, likes all the same **** as me. I told her about EVE and showed it to her, and she's been wanting to play. Problem is, I'm currently in college, and she's a bit younger.. finishing up high school. So we don't exactly have any money to be spending on online games. I'm of course addicted, so I saved up the cash to drop on a 12 month subscription for myself.. Was hoping to try to get up a bit of isk so I could buy some GTCs for her to play as well. Problem is, and here's where I might sound a bit whiny, I'm in IAC. And BOB and MC and everyone started with their fun in the Catch area at about the time I wanted to start getting this thing going..
I don't mind fighting the good fight and everything. In fact I've killed and died numerous times both in this conflict. That part of it is fun. The part that isn't is the fact that I no longer have any isk to spare. My one asset, a freighter (the type shall not be named), which is now trapped in friendly, yes friendly, space. I had been trying to move it for months on end, way before this thing with BOB got to this level. Back when Foofighter and the other FCs I actually respected left IAC. Anyway, there was no one around who would help me, scout for me, or anything. Not even a single shuttle pilot or alt would assist me. Since I don't have an alt of my own, my ship is still sitting there in station. I've put it up on contract many times with no buyers for a reasonable price, so I may just have to sell it way below price.
Anyway, the whole point of that.. I guess it turned into a bit of a rant, and I apologize.. Was simply to show that though I've worked hard in this game, I currently have little to show for it. Maybe I'll get enough isk from the freighter sale to buy a couple battleships in empire. Who knows. But my goals currently are to start up my own pirate corp, because I've never tried that aspect of EVE and I'm tired of the carebearing I've so far had to endure. It seems that no one is interested in having a PVP character in their corp.. and I have no way to raise the money for the dreadnought I can fly and at the same time pay for my girlfriend's account with isk. So I'm going to hold off on the big ships for her.. And hopefully things will work out. Of course, if somehow I won this thing it would certainly help out. :P Anyway, I've managed to get a few other friends of mine to join EVE and they have expressed interest in joining my pirating when its started up. :) If I can make it anyway.
So.. After that longwinded tldr post, here's crossing my fingers. And my apologies if I have offended anyone with my statements here.. Was merely an explanation of my experiences.
Good luck to everyone here, and fly safe! |
