    An important aspect of EVE is that it is a sandbox game.  Given time and persistence there is almost nothing you can't do.

    My advice would be to set some goals for yourself and work toward them.  Figure out a short term goal or two and start on those, but as soon as you can define some longer term goals as well.  If all you have to do ingame is shoot at rats, run missions, and mine you most likely will find yourself losing interest in the game again.

    So, what would you like to do?  Become an infamous pirate?Providing one of the 1000s of pirates that have been playing years longer than you don't blow your shit up every 30 seconds.  Lead an influential 0.0 corp?Well, only if any of the other corps in 0.0 that have been around years longer with tons more members don't decide to tear you a new one.  Corner the market in interspacial widgets? Provided that none of the other 1000s of players that have been playing years longer than you decide to let you do that to start with.

    Whatever you decide what you would like to do tomorrow will help define what you need to do today.

     

    Unlike other games you can NEVER catch up in Eve. What this means is that folks that have been playing longer than you will have access to more shit, and be able to be more effective in more shit then you will be. Trying to specialize is a good idea, but when joe blow from down the row can jump into nearly any ship and still tear you a new one no matter how good you are in your one ship thanks to all the extras they've trained in over the years, well that's just not any fun.

    The game is great, well besides the fact it's the only game I can go take a shit while on auto-pilot and come back and still not be at my destination.

     

    The biggest problem is, all the players that have been around years longer will always, ALWAYS be at more of advantage than you. Even if you bought a metric shit ton of ISK from a farmer because the way skills work you'll always be at a disadvantage. There will never be a way for you to compete unless you run across someone who's totally incompetent.

     

    You MUST join a corp, bow to their wishes, and hope like hell you ain't just there to keep a chair warm for someone else.

     

    I will say however that the community on a whole is by far the best I've ever seen. The game is flawless in functional design (bugginess, lag and shit like that doesn't exit) and their tech support is by far the best ever.

    Don't bother reading these forums. Or any forums where the website's forums are not just about Warhammer Online.

    The people who mainly post here have a tendancy to be negetive - the people who actually enjoy the game (yes, more people like it than hate it) are busy playing the game, not posting.

    If you want opinions or want to share ideas or praise, take your time and thoughts/questions elsewhere.

     

    No forums will be safe from rabid fanbois, or the rabid hatebois.

     

    Wait for a free trial, or buddy key and give it a shot yourself. DO NOT BUY IT BLINDLY.
