Little over 4 and half years of playing Eve-Online. I never really expect to play another game longer than 4 years after quitting Ragnarok Online. Keep it up CCP. May there be more good times over the bad times for the next 100m SP more. :)
A small brief of my experience in Eve-Online after 100m SP.
I still remember my very first killmail and at the same time first blood in a empire war dec, 400+ kills in a single month as a raptor pilot (after training interceptors) as my first t2 ship, first alt (and still the only alt) 2ish years ago, my first participation of the alliance tournament, my first fully t2 fit vultures and many more memories.
I had 3 long term goals set when I first logged in Eve-Online. One was to be a great support character. Be it a logi pilot, commandship booster pilot, carrier pilot, etc. Second goal was to be a great commandship pilot, which I can fly all CS class. And finally, to be a CEO in two years, but I scrapped this goal and replaced it with max leadership skills (which I recently completed it 3-4 months ago).
All goals are obtained and I have two new goals. One is to win Alliance Tournament with my Corp and Alliance, second is be the best frigate and cruiser pilot. Both are not easy to get, but I will obtain these goals one way or another!
Special note to CCP
I did long ago decided to keep playing your game until you guys go bankrupt or until Eve is shut down. I was pretty close to quit when I read Hilmar's email. Not only it shows that the company went off track, but the CEO did as well. I felt the company was becoming to be greedy, like Activision. Won't say EA, because no company is as terribad (should be a new word for this company) as EA.
I decided to give it time and chance, and I'm glad I did. The latest expansion, Crucible, CCP have shown me that the company is getting back on track and I hope you guys stay on track. Don't ever make the same mistake. I know generating profit is the #1 reason for making this game, which I can sort of tolerate your in-game store Aurum, but always provide a quality product improvements. Keep up listening to your players, you guys are the one of the very few, or maybe the only gaming company I know that keeps close contact to players and don't lose this perk you have.
Well, back to homework I go :) |

Not sure why i read this. But your goals are almost the same as mine. However, it is really hard to get started when none of your RL friends play. (at least it is for me) Also homework on a Thursday night is for chumps.  |

I actually got two post worth of text typed down (I think, dunno how many words I typed in) on my tablet regarding my time in Eve-O. If you're really interested, I'll post it down here. My first post is more of TL;DR version.

Yeah, I always look at a positive way and/or figure out why. There are few companies I really admire. CCP is on the 2nd on top of my list, first is Valve. |

When reaching 100m SP after 4,5 years you must do something HORRIBLY good, at least a lot better than i do.
My main is 3 years old and reached 45m SP. "He" had maxed out learning skills before removal. "He" has +4 implants. "He" must be a dumba** for skilling so slow.
Can you please enlighten me what i-¦m doing wrong? |

You're probably not optimising your attributes. I've managed to get 76m SP in 4 years, with 1 of those without implants by making sure my attributes are always best for my training goal. Set a yearly goal, sort out your attributes with the respec, profit.
Also another trick is if you're a PVP character, have a +5 jump clone and when you know you're not going to play for at least 24 hours, jump to it. |

Also another trick is if you're a PVP character, have a +5 jump clone and when you know you're not going to play for at least 24 hours, jump to it. Yes you can switch your attributes at least yearly and with EveMon you can actually make plans that take those attribute switches into account. Then, for example, you switch to Perception/Memory and train only Gunnery, Missile and Spaceship Command skills with the respective attribute bonus for a year. - Of course this isn't really a fun way of training, if you want to train something else in between. I decided for Perception/Willpower some years ago and I just stick to that, even if I want to train other things as well, because there are always skills from those said categories in my queue.
Then again, I still haven't reached 100m SP myself (not subscribed the whole time) and doing that within 4.5 years is quite an impressive achievement! Congratz OP! |

i Was a CEO at 6 weeks old of a corp of 40 so SP is no barrier to this.
When i asked for advice on this forum the only reply i remember was
"put a gun to your head right now". They were so right.
Its a miles stone that you dont ever need to reach

1. upgrade your clone before being podded 2. don't use t3 ships 3. don't train int/mem skills, when your attributes are maxed for perc/willp
on a more serious note: probably you are a 0.0 guy, that's your mistake, if you want to train fast and risk-free, you need to become a carebear, so that you can use +5 implants without risk.
the current implant system has the effect of driving people away from pvp and into carebearism, but sshhhhhh don't tell this to CCP e.g. CCP Gnauton CCP Guard CCP Topknot CCP t0rfifrans CCP Unifex CCP Legion CCP Manifest CCP Veritas CCP Diagoras CCP Alice CCP Chribba CCP Hilmar CCP Oveur CCP Punkturis CCP CCP Guard CCP Navigator CCP Soundwave CCP Masheen CCP Xhagen CCP Optimal CCP Suboptimal CCP Recurve CCP Hekatonkheires CCP Guard .... ok enough forum name alarm triggering  |

I found the more SP i get the more bored i become, basically becuase at that stage you have pretty much reached your training goal and more, you are just trying to perfect it. There are many times i have sat and wondered what to train next, even got to the point i trained skills to level 1 i will never ever use lol |

Been playing for 6 years and have half the SP as that, because I'm doing it wrong AND I can't stand those green checkmarks! Green checkmarks have to die! When I see one, I have to replace it with a skill level progress bar or I can't sleep.
Think I'm kidding? I blew 300M Isk last month on skillbooks.
It's those green checkmarks....

Well, there was this one time, I actually was flying in a +5 clone to pvp, especially to 0.0, in a dual basi supporting HED-GP campaign with my alt, for about a month and half. Did lose a basi once I think. Then there were times I fly tackle ships in between those campaign, and twice I manage to get out in pod from a dictor bubble :O Heart was pumping I tell you. I'm very active in PvP. I lose ships, but rarely I get podded. I always PvP in +3 set clone with siege mindlink. I also fly with a full set of low grade virtue set clone when needed. Plan on getting jamming clone in about a year.
Plus, I did lose sp only once. Lost BC V 4ish years ago, haha.

Its no secret realy, I always pvpin' in +3 clone and making sure skills are training. When I'm gone for awhile or "break" from eve, I jump to +5 clone. At most, I probably lost about 1-2 weeks total worth of SP, there were times I forgot to update. :)
Even if not in a full set of clone, make sure you have at least 2 attribute implants (preferrly +3) to speed up a particular skill. I respecced once last year on perception and will power for a full year. End result, maxed gunnery and missile support skills and some t2 ship skills to V. I recently respecced about last month because I am finished with charisma for the most part. It is currently specced at high intel and memory to polish some related skills (27 intel and memory if you're curious). |

How about some coffee break chats with other devs about this to lower this? As this is a restriction to pvp and eve is a pvp game? The argument of more sp is better skills & thus more advantage isnt realy a valid one as lower sp chars can have the same sp set in pvp area skills as higher sp characters. CCP FIX BLACK OPS FFS |
