It's a trial. It doesn't help them in game. Duh.
If I was looking at EVE from the perspective of a complete noob who'd just downloaded the trial (or even bought the game for that matter) then I doubt very much I'd part with any cash. As 75% of the gameplay is based around timesinks, new players to EVE at this later stage may just not bother.
Good for you Deadflip2 for showing some initiative. It'd be nice if we could keep these new players. If they're not already put off by the retards and fanbois that haunt these forums (in fact, on that note, tell them under no circumstances look a the forums, they'll have a much better experience and impression of the community as a whole). |

Because they're already fans of the genre and they might just sign up? Because there may be a lot of them? Because they might not try the game for 10 minutes then compose a 500 word tirade on here because somebody blew up their ship?
I'll take one ex-EnB player over 10 complete noobs any day of the week. Hell, they might have chosen the wrong game initially but at least they've got half a clue when it comes to this type of game.

its great to see you got the same ideas as i got, i know how addicting eve is, and i know if eve ended itdd be really sucky to start all over again 
on top of that i used to play EnB myself, and i was in beta so had a whipe all the time, drove me nuts

I think its very good of you deadflip to help them. i'm currently helping some old guild friends from enb when i played many months ago. It is a hard game to start of in, very complicated and anyhelp im sure will be much appreciated.
Maybe another idea to giving em a frigate could be skill packs.

From a non-EnB player who's a Noob to Eve, thanks a fornicating bunch, you funning onanist!

The world isnt composed entirely of MMORPG experts, you know, and it strikes me that the punctures who complain about us noobs not having clues need to remember what they were like the first week they played such games.

I wasn't having a go at you, sorry. :)
I think what youre doing is great.
I was just a bit miffed with the assertion that ex-EnB players are somehow 'better' for Eve than those of us who havent played a game like this before.

While i was in a newb corp... there was an ex e&b player talking about how he wanted to be a producer. I sent him a million isks so he could start with producing frigates.

I think it's awfully decent of you :)
The other day, when I sat there feeling quite noobish, a player named 'Kali Ma' donated me 70K or so so I could purchase an Imicus.. For regular players 70K is probably something like pocketmoney, but for me it felt real nice, to get such a headstart..
And as an EnB'er, I'll say this game is ofcourse a lot different, but not (yet) as intimidating as I had been let to believe.. I about expected to be blown up the moment I crossed the first stargate..

Chose wrong? It's not the gamers' faults that EA wasn't satisfied with a growing subscriber base larger than EVE's... Earth and Beyond WAS a fun game. I personally switched to EVE simply because I don't much care for camping and farming mobs (EQ style), but for the people who DO enjoy an EQ-style game EaB's probably better than EVE. It's an old-fashioned level-based MMORPG in space, and fans of old-fashioned level-based games liked it a lot! I personally don't see what's so great about "get better stuff to fight epic mobs to get even more stuff" and "kill mobs for credits all day long just to be able to brag about all my credits and L33T gear" (which is about all you can do after maxing out your levels in EaB), but the trip up TO max level is a lot of fun.
And considering EaB is non-PVP carebear heaven, a little assistance to players who jumped out of the kiddie pool into the shark tank might not be a bad idea...  They aren't used to being able to DO something about it when someone barges into your hunting spot and steals all your loot or follows you around talking smack to you.
Come to think of it, with all the repressed rage from the constant kill stealing and ninja looting that defined high-end play in EaB, I forsee a sudden rise in the pirate population soon...

E&B is a descent game...and quite frankly i dont really care if you agree with it or not, i think these newbs deserve help, just like i got help when i started out... (first cruiser in 6 days =))

actually it doesnt matter what path they take, as long as they keep it fair and ingame.

I remember back in the day when I first started and had $100,000 donated to me from a buddy. At the time I though that was the most money I will ever see, that was enough to get me some new skills, a fancy new Bantum, a couple Miner 1Ęs and Basic Cargo ExpanderĘsą.
I donate money like that to the new players in my corp nową and listen to them say WOW feeling the same way I did. Knowing that I can make that back in 5 to 10 minutes.

Why have we suddenly had an influx of EnB players in the first place?
Sorry for asking a question which probably has an obvious answer but I don't play any other on line game so I haven't a clue what's going on outside EVE.
Station camping, ship jamming, forum spamming, milk drinking, deep thinking, gooner loving, goat hugging, pirate killer............AVE IT LARGE!!!! |

Thank you guys for helping out the EnB noobs coming into the game. I have played Eve for 3 days now and I already bought my Industrial ship the other day. The help you are offering new players is appreciated.
What I would like to see though, is some tips from the veterans. Which race is the best to pick...I picked the Caldari race (My Jenquai Explorer background I guess) but I noticed a discussion saying how much their ships suck..so I am a bit turned off the the race now.
Where do people hang out in game (Market channel in Enb)?
Which are the huge corporations in game?
Are there any rules that I should follow that will prevent me from being killed? Ex: If some one is mining and asteroid and I go and mine it as well..is that considered rude?
I have many more questions...also if you could point me to some resources it would be great.
Thanks
