I have been thinking for long time to start this game and i would just like to know couple things.

- How hard is it for new player to get into the game?
- I consider my self hardcore gamer but still i heard this game is very complicated. If so how long it takes to learn basics to manage in the game alone?
- What is the best server to start with.. I personally like to PvP and go to populated servers, but i will probaply start as miner to get hang of the game so whats best server?


Also if i would start this game is there any friendly guys/girls who would mentor me into the game :D

1. Eve is surprisingly simple to pick up. The controls are relatively easy, and there's starter mission paths for anything and everything you'd want to do, which both train and equip you to follow that path.
2. Eve is as complicated as you make it. I just recently picked the game up at the request of some friends who have been playing a long time. I picked up most of what I needed to know fairly quickly, and there's a huge knowledge base online and players ingame, which are great tools for anything you'd need to know.
3. Eve only has a signle server, which every player plays on. Crazy, huh?

If you want to get started, use this link.
https://secure.eveonline.com/trial/?invc=f50f57ac-9a40-472a-baad-fcea22b1bbf3&action=buddy
It's my buddy invite link, which gives you an extended trial, and, if you subscribe, gives me a PLEX, which can be sold and extends a player's subscription for 30 days. If you use my link and sign up, I'll sell the PLEX and split the profit with you, which should be a nice amount of cash in game to get you going. I'm new-ish, so I'm far from knowing everything in the game, but pm me and I can direct you to some places and give you some basic starting information to get you going.

It does seem a little much when you first step into it. Make sure to do the tutorial as it gives the basics you need. After that everything else kinda falls into place, you just have to read lots on the skills, ships, equipment ect ect as there are lots! The starting corporation chat and beginner chat were also very nice as people actually helped and answered questions.

Yes being a new player myself I was a bit confused on even the tutorials but soon like they said everything falls into place. I have found the community in this game so far to be really good. I have met some people in game already that has helped me with nothing expected in return. Its really nice as a new person to still have good people out there willing to help

It also helps alot to look for a newbie friendly corp that has an active Teamspeak Community. Questions are more easily answered over voicechat.

The more simple routes for Hisec Newbies are mining and pve, planetary Interaction as a side bonus.

If you need Fittings for Ships etc. Hit me up. Else aim for Minmatar(PVE and PVP) or Caldari (PVE, low skill requirements, long range).
