EVE Online

Don't know if anyone else is as bored as me and has an EVE account, but I just reactivated mine so I could float around in space for the next month or so. Let me know if you are playing! Anyone looking to try it out let me know, I can send you a 21-day trial to give it a whirl!

Sent an invite! If anyone else is interested just drop your email... I will warn you the game is massive!! and it is probably the most open ended MMO content I have ever seen! There is no XP or grinding, instead you set skills to learn (you can queue up 24 hours worht of skills to start).

So there is a bit of time invested to make progress, but you can become anything you wnat, there is no limitation on what skills you can learn other than having the ISK (in game currency) to buy them.

I am of in Asrios, which may or may not be a distance from your starting area. When I first made my way there it took my 20+ jumps to get there and I was floored by how little space I had even explored...

And it's all in on single universe (server)!


EDIT: Jer, they just released Dominion, a new expansion (which for an non-EVErs, they're expansions/content updates are free).

I went mining (I love farming), and it was good, but you have to invest a lot of time into getting you're weapons and more militaristic stuff up. And mining is real boring at the start. If you go through some of the Military career paths you can branch out into electronic countermeasures, missiles, energy weapons, etc. but like I said, you can technically learn ALL the skills in the game... with enough time!

I suggest trying to learn salvaging as early on as possible... it allows you to turn the ships you destroy into valuable loot!

*drools*

I haven't play EVE in awhile, but I feel it calling to me. I wanna go pop so rats and gather loot, but I'm way too busy with work right now to justify the expense of a sub.

I'm jealous.

Yeah I am sitting here working on papers wishing I were popping rats or stripping some dense veldspar, but it will have to wait til I get this last paper done... atleast my skills are queued up :D

Pox: I fly a hulk and they are so worth it. If you can get someone to haul for you you can make made money, or mine in mission space (takes some set up but super safe) you just jetcan your ore of your mining ship, fly back with an Iteron or other Industrial ship and pick it up and take it back :D...

Gallente :D

Haha Jer I did the same thing :D it was awesome, I actually had my second account fly retriever as well so hulk/ret the roids, then grab my itty while my hulk stays mining :D

I transfer my Itty/Hulk to the nearest station to my field with sec cans using a shuttle to get everything in one place, I set up shop there for the next while so I just wrap field >> station >> field

i might just have to turn one of my accounts back on. need to pull up evemon to find out which one

Good ole EVEmon, I had to do the same thing :D now i Gots me an iPhone app for EVE :D

Agreed, I couldn't have gotten into my hulk without it :D

Combine that with the scope of the game itself, it can be very overwhelming for newcomers :D

I'm focusing on certificates now. They make a great guide for what skills to get for certain purposes :D

Haha it is, but its really just a large learning curve. It's definitely not like WoW where you can sit down and master the basics in a day. There are tons of little things that you need to learn, and I think in a way everyone is constantly learning. Thats what I really love about it though. I feel like it really is just this huge universe to play in!

For your amusement. Most EVE Players have probably seen this before. Still makes me chuckle though.

That about sums it up LULZ!

lmao rotf lol lol *sides hurt* wow.. that really does sum it up for most of us. The thing about this game is its so enticing, every time they have a new expansion and watch the trailers i want to play.. and then i try, and then i feel like one of those stick figures!
