i first tested this game a few years ago and now i play it rather often, but as many people here will see if they start with eve, this game is NOT very child friendly and easygoing as wow and other "simple" mmo games
i spent a good half year learning the basics of every aspect of the game, unless u play eve everyday for hours u will spend MANY hours scratching ur head

My biggest mistake was to try everything at once, i went in every possible direction with my char and he became a total mess, i suggest start with simple killing missions or so to learn how the game mechanics work
