AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Two bucks for the right to play a game that takes a long time to get started for a month doesn't seem like such a good deal to me. I'd rather buy Guild Wars and never pay anything again.

I think you've convinced me not to get it.

Well, if you're gonna play an MMO, it's best to buy it cheap.

$2 is a great deal to start, but unless you're intent on investing a lot of time and cheddar on it after the first month, there's no point to buying it. As others said, it's a very long-term game.

Well id say if you show interest in it, buy it now for 2 bucks thatway u don't have to spend much to get started on it later

And I've reactivated my account. Time to figure out this game again lol

eh, I guess I'll just skip it then. $2 isn't a horrible deal, but for a game I probably wont play that much, I just don't feel like wasting the cheddar. specially since i'm a poorfag and I've got something else I'm saving up for.

man think how it must be to pilot this mother fucker

I remember my time in EVE. Our corp just kinda died after the leader moved and had trouble getting his interwebs working. Most of us either spread to other corps or did what I did and just quit.

It's also really boring staring at rocks for hours. I MEAN REALLY BORING.
Mission running isn't much better. *clicks button* Firing long-range gun. *clicks button* orbiting at 500 meters. *clicks button* start shield tank. *clicks button* anti-matter rail gun active.

Done. Sit there till you either die or win.

the same can be said for any mmo really

you point and click an enemy to death, how many clicks and what you click is what determines which mmo it is.

Yes but in Eve it's bodaciously a fancy spreadsheet.

It's barely a space mmo, it operates like submarines.

considering space can be related to the vastness of the ocean i think thats an apt comparison

Actually, piloting a Titan is pretty boring most of the time. Titans are so freaking huge and expensive and difficult to build that they are the results of months of cooperation among many players, meaning that whatever player flies the Titan is not allowed to just leave it behind somewhere (it's too big to dock to a station). Players piloting a Titan have to stay in it, partially because it takes so freaking long to train the skills, partially because it's far too risky to just leave it floating in the forcefield of a Player-Owned Station without a pilot.


Also, I play EVE Online, and have done so for over a year now, and I say it's all down to the corporation (EVE's guilds). Join a good corporation, and you'll be inclined to keep playing, thanks to the social bonds you develop with your fellow corpmates. Another reason it's important to join a corp is that EVE doesn't take your hand and tell you to do something, no, you have to set your own goals, and corporate goals are usually more ambitious, clearer, and easier to achieve due to the deep cooperation in most corporations.

Many people play the game for the incredibly deep (and thrilling) PvP experience (if you lose your ship it's really gone forever), but the vast majority of all players stays for the great community. Even if most things you can do in-game without running a serious risk of losing your ship, are, indeed, kinda boring (and even this is not completely true, as even in safe space other players can attack you, and even destroy your ship before the police NPCs can warp in to save you, hence the saying 'High Security Space is only safer').

SWARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

If you're gonna play, I warn you to steer clear of goonswarm whenever you see them.

I'm assuming they still do suicide high-sec ganking.

Goonswarm does no longer exist, at least not in that form. Their leader forgot to pay the Alliance bills, they lost sovereignty, and IT Alliance moved into the now sovereignty-less regions of Delve and Querious.

Ironically this all happened exactly one year after GoonSwarm destroyed BoB and took Delve for themselves, which happened one year after BoB took Delve. It's like there's a curse on Delve, and I expect Something Awful (pun intended) to happen to IT Alliance around December this year.

This is a map showcasing the current way sovereignty is spread:

As you can see, Delve and Querious now belong to IT Alliance, and they're already moving into Fountain and Period Basis. So if you know what's good for you, you stay away from IT Alliance.

EDIT: changed 'after Delve took that area' to 'after BoB took Delve', because I meant to say 'BoB' in the former, but typed 'Delve'.
