My experience sounds like a joke. But not trying to flame or joke,just the truth: I left the trial before I ever learnt. I got confused and frustrated.

I also tried the trial did a couple of the agent quests from the first lady, but now she won't give me any new quests and the new agent thats supposed to give me more quests says I don't have the rating or whatever to talk to him so I am also stuck and frusterated.

I did the trial a while back, ignored the tutorial, and could not figure out a thing, and left it alone.

A year later i picked it up again, did the tutorial, and finally it got me into the game and i'm into my 3rd year now still learning and exploring new stuff.

hm I started when it was no tutiral at all ingame :) 'beta'
and most things I learned the sec before I hade to use it.

I am still learning the game, I don't any one person can learn everything about the game. For example, I have 55 million skill points and i just learned how to properly tackle in my new Interceptor. Skill points really do not mean that much in the game other then the fact that i can use some T2 modules and ships over a newer player. However, if that newer player can scramble and web my 100 mill ship while his gang mates blow me up....my 55 million skills got me buffin :)

I have been signed up since '05 ;)  I was an '03 character and I still have no capital ship.

I've found that in EVE, like in life, often what I need to know I find out by first needing to know it, then probably doing it wrong, then getting hit by what I didn't know yet, and then going back and learning it again.

Took me about the length of the (old) tutorial to 'get' basic ship control. Learning how to fit a ship properly (the mentality and thinking model you need, not exact fits)... Couple of weeks in 0.0. The rest, I'm still learning how to do, two and a half years in. Stuff keeps changing often enough that you have to continuously refresh your assumptions on how the universe works.

Now, can someone give me an exact guide how jumping, cyno fields and jump bridges work? I need to start figuring that out, and having some basic info on it would be good, rather then just going at it on trial and error basis...

Took me about 2 months to get the hang of ship fittings and what I should be training, which, imho, is the first major hurdle.

2 years in now and still learning how to do things - how to fly my ships best, how to make money off of trading, how to command a fleet...

well ;) I started EvE Online when it was beta    I didnt have a problem and lol I dont have any problems to understand stuff.

But some people  have difficult to even write there names in a register box soo I guess those people wont play eve online that loong haha.

Agents and missions I cant say that much of those in EvE I make my own stuff never liked missions sounds to creapy near quest's in games like Dark Age of Camelot and World of warcraft and those kinds of games.
