Or would the master race gank us so much that the game would be unplayable for us peasants? Would we need to hide the fact that we prefer gaming on a different platform?

I have yet to run into a single EVE player that's been condescending just because one of our Dust guys decided to pick up the game.

I can't really speak from personal experience because I'm coming up on 6 years of EVE.

Eve players hate eve players.

What makes you think they'll like you?

The problem with Eve isn't really related to being from Dust as much as it's being a newbie in a game that's 10 years old. You will have the good people, but as soon as you warp out of hisec you're going to find yourself ganked in short order by people who only really do it to be jerks or are trying to pad out their bounty profile. And there's not much you can do about it, either, if you don't have the backup of a real corporation. And getting anywhere in the game sadly requires forays into the wilds of lowsec, especially if you want to actually make any kind of isk. It's this that's kept me from playing the game, I really hate PVP in MMOs. Nothing breaks my immersion worse than that.

Is it like proto stomping or is there always a risk of it but mostly you can get in and get out fast enough? I would like that sort of tension but if it was constant non stop grinding stomping every time i left high sec for a mission then that would be annoying

Well its more about choosing a friendly corp that sticks together and trains their newbs. Its a steep learning curve but like in our case if you are part of a big alliance you are not abandoned to the wolfs. Still it took us sometime to find a place and we drifted a bit. The mistake we made is we started in hisec space, where all the newbs start, and mostly run missions and did mining. We got wardecked ( challenged into a war by other bigger corps) all the time and it was frustrating. The only way to be safe in EVE is to jump into the deep end, learn PVP and be part of an active and well organised corp. Once you learn the ropes and have some skill you can do anything you like, industry, solo hunting, exploration etc.

Only thing you will hide is that you play eve online. lol Other thing I play on my rig too, but knock the "master race" ****. It's embarrassing. Those that would consider them selves that are the nerds that get shoved into lockers by other nerds.

My corp is a hybrid corp that focused mostly on FW and PC on DUST in the beginning... Then as people got burned out more and more started playing EVE. Now we are part of a very fun nullsec alliance and are fully engaged in PVP in space with the very best. Our CEO, once a 100% PS3/FPS player is leading the charge.

I'd hope you'd be welcomed given how there's some crossover between the two player bases (I've got both eve and dust players in my corp). Just don't try and wander into low/null sec on your own and you'll be fine. Also it's generally considered good etiquette to not start mining/ratting in a belt someone else is already mining/ratting in.
