I am about to try eve, I have been reading about it, I have two questions.
What is the extended trial I read about and how can I get it and where can I find information to help me decide which faction to be in?

extended trial is 21 days instead 14 days , and you can get it only if you are invited by someone who already gas an active account paid .

If you want , i can send you an invitation , and if you decide you like the game you can subscribe and i`ll give you 200 m ISK to have some starting money (after you subscribe the first month)

If you don`t subscribe , it`s no problem ... i`ll send you an invite anyway

check here details if you want an invite ... can`t read pm`s so you have to send me a pm with your mail in title to know who i should invite .

The main thing about starting eve is you need a solid 3 months to really understand it. It isn't something you pick up over night (cough WOW cough).


Stick with it and you will see why there are still tons of people playing who played beta years and years ago.

yup , he should read the forums because he will learn a lot , then the experience is the best for learning ... at first it might look hard to play and not really attractive when you lose ship after ship because you`re a noob and can`t fit them proper , but if you are a newbie who likes to learn , you will soon realize that Eve is the game with the most freedom of choice ever made .
