Hey, so I've been wanting to try eve online and I've heard that you can bypass the pay to play if you get enough in game currency to sell? I would really enjoy more information on this, and any tips/suggestions anyone has about the game.

Well first off, here's a referral link so you can get a 21 day trial instead of the 14 day one provided on the website.

Okay, moving past that. You need to straight up forget about funding your account month by month through in-game currency for your first couple months. You could MAYBE do it if you're savvy with trading and playing the market but it's unreasonable to do it for your first few months and even if you could that's literally all you would be doing in the game. Focus on having fun first.

Don't be afraid to train random shit that looks fun to you, ultimately you need to enjoy what you're doing. EVE is not a game that will deliver content to you, you need to be self-motivated and create your own fun. I can deposit some skillpacks for you to plug into EVEmon (It's a program that tracks your characters and allows for you to develop skill plans) so you get a better idea of what to shoot for. I'll edit this post later when I get them collected.

Best advice is to join a corp, Newbros are the cherished, much sought after virgins in EVE. People will scoop you up if you're honest about your level of experience. Try not to get stuck into a missioning corp or a high-sec mining corp, they're death traps and will suck your enjoyment dry.
