There is a reason that EVE is one of the most succesful MMOs created (this statement is based on fact not opinion).
I am a New Player who has been ganked a number of times. I get upset everytime but I understand that it is an aspect of the game and love EVE for it!
EVE is not a game of Instant Gratification. I wan't to work towards something and be able to be set back! This is life so get used it. This game offers both the best of Highs and Lows.
I know truely open SandBox high adrenaline PvP is waiting for me in EVE with both immense Rewards and devastating Loses.
EVE is a game that requires Intelligence and Understanding. If any other New Players refuse to accept this it is most likely that you live most of your life off of Instant Gratification. Never being satisfied with what your doing, and attempt to find something new to feed your hunger until the cycle repeats itself.
It is real simple people. There is a saying that "Some of the happiest people in the World, come home everyday from a hard days work." You can't be happy all the time, it is not natural. EVE encorporates this into an MMO. That is what makes EVE so beautiful.
CCP you have gone above and beyond with your work and I hope you continue to do so (I know you will).
There is a reason EVE is one of the most succesful MMOs created and will continue to be (this statement is base on fact not opinion).
Totally agree with this. EvE is EvE because of all the systems it incorporates. If you added sharding into EvE you might as well go play *** (I put stars there because I believe it should be a curse on the forums... wow). Anyways back to the point. When I die, some days I get ****ed off, some days I laugh my ass off at the loss. I lost an Arazu worth 175m with fittings about a week back and it was great. The reason it was so great is because I distracted 4 of the 6 people I engaged long enough for my gang to get to them and blow them to the stoneage and back. Overall I was happy, even though I had lost my ship.
And as far as losing great amounts of ships... November... 2004... 2nd full week... that was a black week for me. 35 Caracal class ships lost to NPCs in Empire. Missions were not nice with the lack of midslots and the lack of skills to fit it. (6million SP).
Now... as for my PvP 101 Days... I started in PvP 99. Basically I learned that if I was mining in an asteroid belt with my harvesters my mentor would pop them.
Now for PvP 101 (Warning... Steep Learning Curve Ahead).
1. Get into a frigate.
2. Fit a Scram, Web, and MWD or AB.
3. Get into a gang.
4. Go tackle someone for your gang to kill.
5a. If you live Cheer (for beer?) and repeat step 4.
5b. If you die see step 1.
Sometimes I wish I could remember;
Sometimes I wish I could forget.
