i ended up with a good amount of kills and i almost made enough ISK (in game money) to actually pay for the sub (EvE has PLEX which is similiar to KRONOS on EQ Live.)
If i had no life, I definitely would have made enough ISK to play for free. Don't think you can't just start this game and start dunking nerds.
