Eve Online

[JackFlash]

how steep is the learning curve....seems like a ton of time to invest to start from zero for a casual.

I would love to start playing Eve again and the only reason I went afk was because of my corp(guild) fell apart. If any p99s play and have a place to meet then I would love to go pew!

I see some goons posting here tho... and you are probobly the only entity I never had blue during my EQ days.

When I was playing, there was a Corp called Eve University. Their charter was training noobs to play the game. They had classes on just about anything you were interested in doing. They even had an NPC nullsec division.

Another Corp that specialized in pvp training was Agony Unleashed. But you had to pay isk for their training classes.

I spent some time in Eve University, and I don't regret it. They even have a recorded library of old classes that you can listen to.

Crap, all this discussion is making me feel like resubbing

its steep if you dont like to figure things out yourself. IE people who play a 16 year old elf sim 20 hours a day. otherwise it isnt that bad. there are plenty of wikis and guides online. the same people who say eve is hard are probably the guys who couldnt hack it in dark souls either.

Pretty much what Sam said, at least from my experience. The game doesn't start you off in some newbie area telling you how to open up your inventory and crap like that.

Actually there's a lengthy and, I suppose, comprehensive tutorial when you first run EVE but I didn't have the 185 IQ required to even finish the tutorial.

my character name is on a monument in iceland (CCP HQ)

It's not an easy game. If you can't even get through the tutorial then it's prob not for you anyway.

There's so much to the game that even many veterans don't realize that they don't know.

My name is on that monument also. My killboard:

I haven't played in a couple years, but if I resub, I'll look you guys up in game

make sure to pick the slick aviator shades at character creation

best advice I can give so far after playing for 2 hours total
