The EVE Online Thread (info and discussion)


first off, i'd point out have been playing since august 2011 , still learn new things every day. thread general discussion of game , helping newcomers. instead of typing huge bibles read, instead paste links , videos can decide own , not judge me on personal experience.

eve "thinking" man's game. requires patience , if have none, don't bother. why? because in eve can spend lot of time getting in game currency, getting achievements big ships, implants , lose in less 3 seconds... shot wt (war target). important rule of eve never fly can't afford lose, remember this.

game harsh in terms of pvp, , that's why of play it. if remember clone yourself, not lose skill points... if forget lose of time. each skill point requires time, not effort... time, time away computer, or time on computer... doesn't matter... don't forget clone or time lost. ship , implants can replace if part of alliance give spare/free ones otherwise you'll have purchase / craft own.

eve pvp oriented game, if plan pve or stay in empire space (high sec) aren't playing eve.

when comes trials of game... 15 days not enough judge mmo, neither 21 day program players of eve can email friends or people on forums *wink*. each eve subscriber can send out 1 60 day trial. read mmorpg.com eve jita forums opinions , reviews.

why play or try eve?
- 1 server, 1 community (50k active on peak times)
- world pvp / territorial combat (like dark age of camelot in space)
- 2 free expansions per year (15 in total far)
- no grinding, no farming (you can if want)
- offline "leveling up" (just queue in skill , go on vacation 2 weeks)
- ccp promised keep updating 15+ years
- 1000 vs 1000 player battles (or 1 on 1 if want)
- ccp updates eve graphics time time (unlike other game)
- can pay subscription in-game currency (we call plex)

eve expansions - http://community.eveonline.com/features/

races in eve storyline purposes , faction warfare (which empire space warfare not 0.0 sec). people participate in alliance warfare territorial conquest... purpose own space possible, players not join faction warfare because can't in player owned alliance @ same time. in terms of ships, gallente uses drones, amarr uses lasers, caldari uses missiles , minmatar uses turrets. if not care storyline, gallente popular race therefore first corporation (guild) have people, call starter corps npc corps. if want gallente , pilot amarr ships can, need train proper skills not worry, that's ;]

ccp owned trailers expansions... not describe nor justice game @ all, pr stunt more players inside game. lot of players try eve trials tend leave because eve not action oriented (unless full-scale pvp game intended for) or because there no avatar (will have in future it's been promised). argument age, tend dislike games more , more... has nothing past experience, played nintendo @ age 4 , play facebook , eve. tend less engaging , more relaxed age , eve audience typically around age 23-35... not find wow kiddies here. in npc starter corps helps every question , there no flaming. doesn't mean old , hate games, means @ point eve awesome us, not need reflex based games or hyper active games in order have fun or enjoyment, can relax, drink coffee , kill people while chatting. (though 1000 vs 1000 battles tend require more attention)

corporation guild, mission quest. when decide leave starter npc corp join player owned corp , decide leave player owned corp whatever reason, drop inside npc corp safe war decorations not starter corp. depending on character skills chose when first made char or other factors drop in whatever npc corp. each time join player owned corp , decide quit, drop npc corp, have no fear if corp or alliance sucks. alliance group of corps. think of corp division of company, alliance company. example msn/xbox = corps, alliance = microsoft. suggest read eve university guides , stick starter npc corp 3-6 months.

future of eve
- future of eve - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az0k0iorouo

how play / do
in eve can , allowed carebear (term in mmo used people not pvp) or can pvp game oriented for, can die anywhere @ time in game except if docked in station. if not want engage in pvp, you'll chat or farm isk (inter-stellar-kurrency) no reason. (the bright thing if scared of pvp @ first farm isk, skills , join alliance ready pvp otherwise aren't playing eve). eve sandbox, not have complete linear quest line in order +1 sword, free whatever please if owned own private saucer alien in space, please , finish tutorial when first start off, otherwise you'll asking lots , lots of questions.

skills
skills spells in other mmo's except learned through right clicking on book , waiting 30 seconds 15 days. there on 200 skills not describe can do, instead click link below. because new not mean have less of advantage has been playing past 8 years 100k skill points, have remember whatever plan do, example lets fly cruiser , pvp, require amount of skill points, points invested in crafting (industry) or social (mission) or trade (market) or corporate (to corp/alliance) not pvp cruiser skills either gone waste or not used in task. players lots of skills can more things, yes... doesn't mean can kill better can. in fact own corp or alliance or best trader in game in 3 months time. not worry players age in game, means nothing (especially when train docked in station while being offline months @ time, means no pvp experience whatsoever)
