Based what I've been told up to tonight, I guess I will work on missions for a little bit to make ISK and give myself a little more time to get Core Certificates.
Running missions and getting those stupid certificates is the quickest ways to get bored with the game and quit. Just cruise around in the game, be sociable, make friends, join a corp, get on comms and talk, fly together, blow people up... listen to my advice, it's good advice.
Although I have a long lasting grudge against anyone / anything with the word Goons in it's name / ticker, this guy is actually right. Yes missions are good to start and get some ISK. Yes, your core certificates are good to have as it makes your ship harder to kill and also easier to fit. But don't just do that only in your first couple of weeks / months, it will make the game boring very quickly.
I only have 1 suggestion I have to almost every single new player: Do what you like to do in EVE. This is a huge sandbox, you can do what you like (true, some stuff might be hard to do as a starting character, but nothing is locked - unless your on a trial, then you can't fly some ships yet). Don't just do what others tell you to do.
I do suggest that you look for a player corporation. If you didn't know yet, EVE has NPC corporations (which you can run missions for and every new player starts in a NPC corporation and if you leave a player corporation you automatically join a NPC corp of your race.) but it also has a huge amount of Player-runned corporations (other MMO's call these things guild, clans and what so ever). There are even a fair amount of Player corps that are just made to teach new players in EVE how it works (EVE University being one of the biggest and mostly used for it). Also in player corps you will interact more with the people that are in it and learn more from them as you go.
1 advice, don't just join the first corp you think you like. Take you time to get to know that corp (how active are they during your game time, what do they like to do [mining, mission running, PvP, FW], are they hardcore EVE players or RL first guys, all that kind of stuff). There are even corps (and alliances after latest patch) that are only made to do Faction Warfare and the new corp search tool ingame can even let you specify if you want to be in a roleplaying corporation.
