Anyone else try this? I'm on the 14 day trial and i'm thinking i might start playing past that. I used to play alot of Freelancer, and this is a similar system, only on a much larger scale.
 
Its freaking HUGE. You can literaly do anything you want to. And its not exactly socialy driven, although it does enhance the experience alot. You can play for months without interacting with another player, aside from running into them out in space or buying items.
 
Hey Mara I play EVE and I definately love it. Only been playing for 3 or 4 months but I really enjoy how you can do whatever you want in the game.

One time I was hunting rats in a low security system, all of a sudden 3 guys warped in and jammed me and I wasn't able to warp out. I was in a Ferox. I took out 1 of their ships and crippled the other one pretty well but they managed to blow me up. :( I later realized I had forgot insurance for the ship and so I lost a good 24 mil ISK. Look me up if you want, name is Godpoing as well. :D
 
I play also. Actually I am in control of 2 different accounts on that game. Most of my activity at the moment on the game is training and research due to PC problems, but once I get it up again I do complexes about 2-3 hours a day 3-4 times a week. Sometimes less if they are camped out.

My Toons are Schalac and Orion Pender.
 
i've been playing EVE for a few months, it's fun as hell =P. character is Serzos, look me up sometime ~.^
 
Since i'm unable to join a good corp being a trial member, i just stuck with the idea that if you apply the FFXI grinding mentality i'd progress well enough for a while. Made 300k mining in a Bantam. In a 0.9 system. Yeah.

Rotated characters, tho i think i've stuck with one now: Tenial. Look me up.
 
I played the 14 day trial with my guild wars guild when we were bored. Being me I had to find the biggest ship in 14 days I could and well... I did :). I got a transport ship and did alot of transporting goods back and forth selling etc. My friends mined for me and I would store it in my hull it was fun till the trial ended.
 
Yeah the guy that wrote that was a fucking moron. You can make more money in Eve by doing missions than mining, and trade routes are for the people that have no idea about productivity and consumables. Personally I've researched over 50 BPOs to maximum proficiency, 5 of which were ships, and my corp has done well over 300, and that's only since january of this year.

Trade routes to us are non existant, because all of our hauling is done with minerals that we buy, trade, mine on our own to our manufacturing station. Then after we build our ships customers come to us because we offer Megathrons and haulers at a fair price, in safe space.

Corp espianage does happen though, but my corp will never have that problem because you can't get access in it unless you are from pittsburgh and you can go over to the CEO's house and drink with us. Plus why even take credit in things such as that when either 1 of 2 things are happening. 1) you are fucking over someone in a video game. Where is the glory in that? and 2) While you might have to be somewhat smart in real life to start and run a corporation, in Eve all you need is a fews days training the skills.

So you cheated someone on the internet, congratulations, I'm sure your 28 girlfriends are very impressed.

Eve is a fun game though and that story is probably some fat nerds glory days. More power to him though, he won.
 
I tried it in the BETA and I had no idea what was going on. I liked Earth and Beyond Better. Damn you EA for killing it!!!!!

Even though i agree wif ya there Shaun, it was a very nice and entertaining read. Of course what made it so awesome was that it kept me company at a boring day at work.....
But meh...

Cheers,

Well i just got my ass handed to me in a 1.0 system for no reason.
I got fired on by a Command Ship class ship, and the guy didnt even get zapped by Concord. Dont think i'll be renewing trial if that'll happen alot.

Chances are if you got fired upon like that then there might of been a takeover going on. Some corps are strong enough for that.

Also another thing that I just found out about is the Palas Defence Force, which members of my regular corp run with that hopefully I will become a member of in the next few days. Pretty much a macro miner suicide run corp where they go out and find macro miners and then bum rush them with as many rocket ships as they can, then get blown up by Concorde. I've seen the stats on the Corp and they have gotten quite a few kills on the macroers in game. I can't wait til I get to go out on a Kamakazi, that is going to be sweet.
 
wait.. is it a monthly payment thing? or just single payment of 20 dollars? if only single payment.. HELLO EVE ONLINE!!! (I <3 Freelancer)

Edit: nvm, seems like a decent price. I'll give it a try in a few days or something :P
