Re: Eve Online
Necro'ing this thread as I'm now playing EVE as well and really enjoying it...
Any other EVE players since 2007
Think of it like Homeworld meets X in a MMO universe scaled bigger than anything else out there - it's a sandbox galaxy where you train up skills in order to fly bigger and more powerful ships, but at the same time you need to make money to buy and outfit these ships.
You can make money buy doing single player missions, mining, trading, pirating, mercenary work... It's limitless.
Best thing is almost all of the content is player generated. It's a complex world with political factions, corporations and a more sophisticated system of supply/demand and trade than the JSE.
Best of all you can play while not playing - your skill training happens even while you are not in the game world.
It's just the right balance for me. I'd recommend it for people with an IQ who enjoy space combat/exploration/trading in an almost limitless environment, but don't like grinding away WoW style to learn skills
Definitly worth $15 a month for me

Re: Eve Online
How do you manage to get into a war after only a month? What corp are you with?
I'm about a month old too and just bought my first battleship, a Brutix (rolled Gallente) - still about a week away from being able to kit it out with level 2 gear for PvP
What do you fly?

Re: Eve Online
Well I have two standard BCs but their fits needs a bit of work still. I started by training for mining barge and then for covert ops but the second one is kinda shelved for now since I'm training all the things for straight up fighting ships at the moment. I'm playing Amarr btw
Oh about the war some 7 man corp decided to declair war on a corp who was in the process of joining our aliance. Havent seen any of them online since btw

Re: Eve Online
I used to play, and I really do enjoy it but I simply don't have the funds or the time to do it, sadly.
If I can't find a friendship problem...I'll make a friendship problem!
