I love EVE, and am well estabilished there already.
That allows me to not play it, as in, I play other games and have my comms open. If PVP happens, i quicly log in. Kill and die, and am happy with it lol. |

EVE has a entry barrier most people dont overcome. Not that its hard, I dont think it is, but the starting moments are boring as hell. As a new player you do little isk, and have to activelly seek what to do, it wont grab your hand.
I did a lot of research on it, and had already tried it plus the beta like 4 times before actually comiting to it.
If anyone want to try it, here is how I managed to "grow", playing it with my style.
When new, do missions. Dont botther with mining and commerce unless its your thing, and even then you want to do missions since the return is faster and will allow you to build up capital.
Focus in one role. PVP is great, but to sustain it you will need to do ratting. So focus in PVE first. Most skills are useful to both roles, but missile boats are great for PVE and the "Drake" should be your 1st target. Its also widely used in PVP, so you can "fit" right in before diversificating into another boat types.
"Avoid" level 5 skills. Level 5's are great, but focus in level 4 skills first, they come rather quickly. After you have all the major ones in 4, and you have a good cash flow, start rouding up the character to level 5's.
After you have tank in level 4, and dps in level 4, and can make enough money to replace consistently any given ship class, start looking into PVP.
Before joining a CORP, play soloand use the Help and NPC Corp channel for any doubts. Understand the game and try to get to battlecruisers. After that, where you cannot learn anything new, and can really contribute, seek out CORPS.
Have no CORP loyalty. At the begining, dont stick to a CORP unless they deserve it. Dont be afraid of jumping out and seek another CORP. Theres a lot of trash CORPS out there, if it sucks, bail out, dont waste time.
Overall, focus. Be one thing at a time, over the long run you will start accumulating roles. Dont try it all, wasting time.
You may agree, you may not, but to me this "rules" worked great. |
