EVE Online

i have said this from the star great game but not very welcoming to new people

I agree with the fact that creating a new server would be nicer, it would allow players to try something new. But i have no problem still with one server i just prefer two

Dont know if it was mentioned, (didnt read the full post, sorry ^^) but now a new character starts off with 500k+ skill points and a few level 5 skills now. They are making it more accessible to new players every so often.

But as a lot are saying, just specialize right off and you will be equaly as good as a vet player in that ship.

It's actually 800,000 SP at starting, with I believe 3 or so level V skills for any build and higher attributes than previously possible at character creation.

So basicly you are saying a 10 year old kid that has no job, no money and lives off his perants should get the same gear as a 30 year old that has been working very long and hard to get his car, job, wife, house etc.

Am I the only one that finds that rather imature?? Im a noob just like you I only have 1.6 mill sps I get griefed sometimes by a$$hole vets(i made a post about that today). Thats Eve (much like life its unfair and cruel) dont try to change and if you dont like it then please just play another game like some one else said

go play wow

Good point about the job thing. I work everyday and come home to basic responsibilities i.e. pay the bills, feed the pets, spend time with my wife, clean, cook etc. There is no way I would be able to keep up with a kid who runs home from school, jumps on the computer and grinds away for the next 8  hours getting xp while mommy  and daddy handle all of life's necessities.  Off line training is a blessing to people who have limited time to spend in game.  If someones sole motivation to play the game is to aquire skill points so he can be the biggest badass in the galaxy then he/she doesn't understand the underlying priciples of the game.  Skill points allow you to fly ships, and fit mods and weapons but they in no way grarantee your success agains't player with fewer points than you. Eve requires cooperation and planning.  That's why 3 players with a milion skill points each can take down a player with 30,000,000 skill points. You have to play smart.

It's a game not real life. We can play games but can not to escape real life.

Oh, but we do. Some of us play games to escape the tediousness and soul-numbing crush of real life pressures, for a few hours at a time.

Just like people who go to the movies want to see something fun, have fun for a while, and not think about the issues at work they might have to tackle tomorrow.

Escapism isn't all bad, y'know. Not until it becomes more important then your real life, at least.

oh, we are well aware that this is a game. some of us enjoy logging on and running corperations/divisions. PvPing. and socialising with corp mates. as is, i have 15.5 million sp, i have corp mates that i fly beside me with a quarter to half the SP i have, and they do it compitently. SP means NOTHING in pvp. like it was said earlier, in pvp, a 2 million sp char looses a thorax, great, they lost maybe 15 million isk. if i loose my deimos (heavy assault crusier) i loose 100 mill + isk, not including rigs and fittings.  i envy chars with lower SP then i do.

in most cases, if a character trains specific abilities for pvp right from the start, if u throw a 2 mill sp char in a thorax, and then throw a 15 mill sp char in a thorax, im many ways they are equal. the only divider between them is experience.

sorry m8, if ur looking for a game that u can grind off levels like nothing cuz ur some 14 yr old that has no life. go play WoW or LOTRO.

I played WoW before I moved to eve and tbh, WoW took me from launch till about july before I did MC 40 man raiding (end game at the time).

Currently I am using EVEmon and I am getting all learning skills to level 4, training the skills and support skills for an interceptor, gunnery skills (mainly the general skills along with spec into hybrid turrets), then drone skills and then missiles.

Each is a different plan, it will take me about 8months or so to finish that plan and have a 10million SP character, with a good money making base (I mine and have trained those skills already) and good core skills.

I want to do a bit of piracy in low sec in a ceptor, so after my interceptor training and gunnery training is done (and learning) I will have the required skills to do that and have fun in pvp in q cheap ships.

All in all the time required to be effective and reach the 'pvp endgame' is the same as it takes to reach the WoW/EQ2 endgame. And that is only if you want pvp.

And on topic, no new server, I love the fact that we are all on a single server.
