I like Economical based games but i would like a little bit more detail on the game how it works how long does it take to get anywhere in the game? Are the people noob friendly or will everyone rage me out the door?

people are generally more than willing to help a noob out - with the upcomming patch it is going to eliminate the learning skills so the game will be easier to get into for new people. You can start doing missions and building up your standings for future soverignty use right away, and there are many different paths to choose from once you get a bit more skilled

If you'd like, I send you an invite, getting you a 21 day trial instead of 14 day. If you activate, I get 30 more days of in game time and I'll give you 150 million isk. By the way, for 370 million isk (the current price) you can buy an item that gives you 30 more days as well, in case you don't like paying real money for game time.

they will not, instead they are permanately boosting all characteristcs by 12, so its like having all learning skills at lvl 5 right off the bat

I love the way they are fixing this, it will actually give alot of the new players time to play the game instead of them rage quitting after a few days because all the vets tell them to train learning skills.

from my point of view this game will really start to grow with the learning skills removed from the game CCP made a very good choice in doing this,

alot of my friends who I tried to get into the game quit because of the learning skills. So yea I will enjoy seeing this game get a big boom in population in the next few months :D

i completely agree with all of this. the learning skills had good intentions, but it turned off a lot of new players, so it is good that they are getting removed and compensated for. I think the biggest thing that should also be fixed is mission difficulty, I know that when I was starting off some level 2's i could do easily, and other I got stuck on and got pissed at. Eve University (the corp) has been a savior backbone in EVE and is strongly recommended that all new players join it. They offer free skillbooks, frigs and fittings to new players as well as help and technique training wherever you need it.

yea I must agree, eve univ has had a major impact on new players staying or quitting for eve I will give them a o7 for that.

As for mission difficulty I must say that I cannot agree with you on that sorry to say :( Mission's should be alot harder then they are right now.. like for example I just run level 4's like they are level 1 missions it's a joke at how easy they are... I say CCP should increase the mission Difficulty in order to make the game more team related like it should take atleast 2 people to do a level 4 or atleast more then 2 people for a level 5 hell even 1 person has solo a level 5 mission its a joke...

CCP should also make it easier for new players to find corporations to join.. like for example, alot of new players no NOTHING about the recruitment channel.. maybe have them auto join the recruitment channel when they first start off?? lets face it no one likes floating in space lost on what to do next with no help from local or anything like that.

but the one main thing I support is eve univ I donate to them monthly I like too see this game grow with them it has grown alot :D
