Yes there is, it should auto join you in the chat and there should be players already in it waiting to help people. Just check the chats on the bottom left of the screen.

People do get pretty serious about certain aspects of the game. But at the same time, you'll find many people that are laid back as hell.

I've been playing Eve for almost 2 years now. the learning curve is HUGE (go Google "Eve Learning Curve" and you'll get an accurate picture of what I mean.)


It's a PVP based game, and you can literally die at any time. Some places are more secure then others, but not off limits to a griefer.

Instead of 'leveling up' like you do in most MMO's, the training que in eve runs 24/7. That being said, some skills can literally take a month to get. Right now I'm on an 18day skill training. This isn't a game you can play for a month and move on. But it's extremely in-depth and your career choices aren't limited to any one race/profession.

The main drive in Eve is getting wealthy. More ISK = more ships you can buy = more PEW PEW = more fun. But if you're the passive type, you can spend your time mining ore, refining it, and producing the ships and selling them to the PVP'rs. Eve has a 100% community based market. Nothing on the market got their by NPCs anymore. It's player driver, player controlled. It's market is truly supply and demand based. You have the ability to make your own professions. Anything goes, as long as it's profitable.

Throw all that together, and you get the kind of people that you meet in RL. You'll meet people that want nothing more then to kill you just for the LOLz. You'll meet corporations that want to recruit you, tax the hell out of you and get rich of your hard work. Remember, that semi-retarded guy yelling at you in local chat is not retarded, nor is he forgiving when he finds you.

If you can wade threw the long training que, the griefers, the learning curve, and the occasional WTF PWN...you'll find a very good, exciting, active, and easy to engage community. I've made some good friends on Eve, and some deadly enemies. I'm not gonna lie, there are a few people that (when we meet) we do battle without provocation.

To sum up, eve is what you make it.

very nice man, read it with huge hopes, now I'm going to start my trial and see what the summer brings, only working 3 days, so 4 days off, at least 2 days of them spent on eve, this may be a fun game to learn.



e: I hope my poll becomes more active, I wonder how accurate I categorized the possible people.


e2: who should I ask for the extended trial?

Anyone of us can give you an extended trial, you'll create a new account to use it basically though.

/e we just need an email you'll register with to send you the buddy invite.

so far I've seen this with the experienced players, even though my corp ANd it's alliance was wardecked by a 5man corp (all of them Alts of course)

sounds fun actually.

Apprently they lost a really expensive ship but took down a lot of our ships too.

eh overall its quite mature due to the amount of learning required to be good at the game and well the patience it requires at times. but u always in any online gaming scene...have your griefers/trolls/asshats. so mature/tolerable was my answer.

LMFAO TRUE DAT L0L FUCKKKKKKKKKKK l0lllllllll like on hu

Best tutorial program in any online game.
You even get solid rewards.
