Hello,
EVE Online as fasinated me for sometime now but I've always struggled to truelly get into the game. Firstly is how deep the game is, which is a great quality but can be truelly overwhelming for new players. I've tried to get into EVE Online once in the past but I was lost in what skills to learn and such. These threads are on here everyday but I would like some advice from experienced players who may have been in the same seat as I am.
Advice on how to get into EVE, from experience players who also struggled to first get into EVE. EVE as always amazed me, especially corporations and wars, one of the issues I have with getting into EVE is that I've never been totally sure what I wanted to do in the Universe. I always enjoyed mining and sellin my wears in past games but it always seems everyone does that, gets bored then goes fightin in PVP. To be fair I've never been deep into PVP but I guess you HAVE to get use to it in EVE if you wish to survive in EVE's universe.
If anyone could give some early advice on a good path to truelly get involved in EVE Online I would appriate it, thanks!
Sorry not experienced at Eve as you are looking for, but in a similar situation.
You half answer your own question - the full depth and breadth is accessed by coordinated corporate activities in 0.0. Does it mean you HAVE to PvP? For myself I believe it will mean that. But not necessarily for everyone. It does mean you have to be READY for PvP. There are plenty of 0.0 corps that will allow you to focus on industrial aspects but not as a carebear, you will need to back up their security (any nonPvP specialty can tackle and the ship is usually provided and replaced by corp) and you will need to stand for yourself when needed (can't always run and never complain about having been targetted).
While I think the high sec industrials are fine and sufficient for some people, it sounds like you are like me and it would only be another step as it will not sufficiently provide the depth of experience you would want and only 0.0 corps will provide the long term rewards you are seeking from playing.
Sorry again for not being an experienced response but you are considering things I have been thinking about and I did not come here expecting to get into PvP. But I had the realizations above plus the realization that the PvP here is attractive in ways that can't be touched by any other current game out there. It has updated touches on the way PvP used to be pre-2000 which was fun. The only game that looks like it will be close if they pull it off is Conan.
