Just because what you did was join a big alliance which expected you to follow blindly does not mean everyone has to.

Many options other than pvp/fleeting include going into mining, wormhole exploration, mission running, industry activities, complex attack and defense in FW,and basic item trading for a profit. While profits on these things will all be tiny at first you can start any of them with just a few hours of skill training.

EDIT: Forgot to include Planetary Interaction and a popular past time, SCAMMING NEWBS.

No matter how you look at it. 90% of the game time you will spend trying to make ISK which basically destroys any incentive to play the game.

Keep in mind that I know nothing about eve online aside from what I learned from here on dust or their really cool trailers Do the tutorials and read every word three times before you move forward in the tutorial. Never assume anything. READ READ READ, there is no detail too small. There is no free ISK. and do not accept gifts from strangers. Try out different things and explore different areas, just do not fly anything expensive. You will be tempted to join FW so you can drop orbitals but DO NOT DO IT. Once in FW there is no where that you are safe and one wrong turn can mean instant death.

Google every mission before you run it and even check market data on outside sites before you buy or sell any big items. With lots of skill books starting out just a few jumps can save you tens or even hundreds of thousands of isk.

Keep in mind that I know nothing about eve online aside from what I learned from here on dust or their really cool trailers STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THAT GAME! And the trailers are all lying, 90% of your time will be spend on tiedeus PVE grinds which are sucking the soul out of your body. Ya know its a bad sign when allmost half of the playerbase from eve gone away after a single year. Eve is certainly a ruthless game but it is what you make of it.

You are mostly right on that aspect which is why I always tell people going in they should expect to pay cash for the first 6 months in Eve. Eve, like Dust is a very social experience if you allow it to be and do not turn it into an ISK grind to save 10-15 dollars a month. I have met some cool people in FW as well as some belt miners that I enjoyed sitting around talking about the game much like we do here in Dust. As far as cost goes, getting a 21 day trial and then spending 50 - 70 dollars for the next 6 months on a game you could very well play for free for another 5 years is a pretty good deal imo.
