Yes, it's newbie friendly and yes new players can start off doing missions right off the bat, but that's all you can do effectively, mission. A 1 week old character will never be good in PvP because a 2 week character will have much more SP then he does. The 2 week player will pull more DPS and have a higher rate of fire if he's training correctly.

I played this game for 5 years and now... well... I just don't see the fun in it.

so someone who gets a head start has an advantage? well derpty derp derp derp. what if all the 2 week player's SP (skillpoints for people who dont know wtf that is) went to mining or maybe he was pvp "speced" but put points in the wrong places. sp only goes so far, just like gear, levels, and spells for eq. thats not even touching the ship the players in, how its fit, and most importantly player skill. this goes for any game, you would think that someone who has played this game for 5 years would understand. not to mention there are counters to everything. learn 2 game?

It all comes down to the million dollar question. Is the game worth the DL?

hard to not give an unbiased answer. I would say this mmo has more to offer than any other mmo currently out. there is a steep learning curve and ALOT to digest the first few days of playing. I cant compare it to anything but its definitely not just a "space shooter." player base is a little different, i mean you have hardcore pirate who pvp all day and night but id say it further from the WoW crowd than any other mmo. If you want someone completely different definately try it. PM me your email for 21 say trial instead of 14. cant hurt to try. peace

The problem with EvE is that it can take months to do anything significant. You can have some fun...but be prepared to be in it for the long haul.

There IS a way to beat the time investment. CCP sells and has authorized sellers for PLEX, which are subscriptions that can be reimbursed in-game. These PLEX can also be traded to other players for ISK (in-game cash). Basically you can RMT a character legally.

Try the game out; see if you like it. After a while you'll be bored with your limitations, and then you can check out the character forum to take a look at what kinds of characters are being sold.

One GOOD thing about EvE is that since you CAN trade ISK in-game for PLEX...basically you can play for free, but you have to have the ability to generate the kind of cash needed for that, and that takes a vested character...there are tons of ways to do it, however.

Pirating brings its own set of limitations, but it really is the only way a new player MIGHT generate that kind of cash.

There's too much about EvE to try to explain it. Take Sam's offer if you're interested - it's a free 21 days - and check out EvE University for help; they're a corp designed to help new players, and they've been around a loooong time.

I may resub Dobri M one of these days...who knows? He's a glorified scout, but can generate mucho cash. Ninja-looter extraordinaire, he is (sure he can mine with a Hulk...but mission griefing tears is ownage).

One thing I can give EvE is that PvP-wise, it is the ultimate game. Nothing like taking down a Titan...especially when you realize Titans are worth thousands of dollars in RL cash. Grief knows no bounds in EvE; I'm surprised people haven't committed suicide over the grief in EvE. Maybe they have, lol...

Good example of grief...oldie but goodie. Carebear tears!

you didn't watch the alliance panel this year, did you? Goonswarm CEO told someone to end it during the panel and gave out the players name to get targeted in game

Humerox · #78 04-21-2012, 05:06 AM

Hah! Reading the article now. CCP has a suicide hotline? rotflmfao

Mittani had to resign and caught a 30-day ban? srsly...c'mon

And people want to play this? Sounds like the opposite of everything I play games for.

In all fairness you can play empire space and never see a lick of PvP. Trading, missioning, mining, playing the economy...you could play for years and never PvP.
