Eve....again

[Benny]

I wish I had more time to get into this, the game looks superb. The brief foray I had was in between nappy runs a fair few years ago.

Talk to Vargen, he was one of the big Eve-heads.

I am going to try the free trial on this

[kregoron]

My Account is currently active, tho mainly waiting for the new Inferno expansion. NEW MISSILES YAY!

If you need any advice feel free to poke me Sithvid as the learning curve is still a bit steep.

[Tutonic]

I've tried twice to get into Eve, but it's got a learning curve that makes Arma II look like a piece of cake.

The basics are easy, but to do anything even remotely interesting... that's when it gets really hard. Unless you get in with a bunch of really dedicated, organised players it's always going to be a struggle.

That said, I did still really enjoy my brief forays. The skill learning system is great, and the few PVP scrapes I did get into were fantastic fun.... until I was brutally taken apart by someone's dreadnought

The games has evolved a bit, for newcomers, focusing on the RPG part and going factional warfare can be a fantastic learning experience, you get to see different aspects of PVP, mining, manufaturing... without having to worry about helping your corp guard their sov in 0.0

I have setup a chat channel for us DMWers, its called Dead Men Walking

And if anyone wants a 21 day trial i can send out an invite for that, just PM me an email adress.

And its evolved alot over the few years ive been playing it, learning curve isnt as steep as it used to be and a few days old pilot can be of great use in fleet OPs.
The new expantion, wich is coming at the end of may, will make it a bit easier on new pilots aswell.

[Tanales]

Ill make you an offer you cant refuse.

Let me invite you to the 21 day trial and IF you decide to pay the monthly fee after that ill give you 150 million ISK (in game currency).

[Sithvid]

Is there a new patch soon worth waiting for trial after that?

[Tanales]

yeh theres an expantion coming in about 10 days, most changes and new features are listed in that site i linked to

[TE_owner]

Tanales can I use the 14 day free trial and then your 21 free trial as well, I've heard some fantastic stories about EVE but coming from a mainly FPS/RPG background and having no previous experience with space sims or MMO's I feel as though I would be overwhelmed.

[Tanales]

You could but you would have to make a new account for the 21 day trial i think.

And yeh i can be a bit overwhelming at first, but if you stick the the tutorials the first few hours you should be fine

[TE_owner]

How long before it gets going? ive got a huge backlog of games that I need to play I would rather not add to the ever climbing mountain

[Tanales]

gets going? not shure what you mean

You can start killing NPCs/players/roids as soon as you undock from a station if you want, thats the beauty of it

[TE_owner]

Do you start off with a terribad ship that takes 6+ hours to get a better one or is the first ship actually fun to use

Is it a game you can dip in and out of?
