Hey,

After much scrutiny i have decided to try EvE again, after trying to get into a few times and finding myself lost before i start, this time i would really like some help selecting my path. I would very much like to be more pirate than business man, more combat than trade, if that makes sense?. So if anyone could give me a heads up on, race, class and alike then that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Ok not literally an obsession, but i need a new game to get into as i'm just about fed up with my current game WoW and so seek to garner the collective knowledge of you guys. Hope that you can help and any info advice about games that are available and are something that you recommend would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Dang you guys are horrible, tell you what you right i'm wrong and at that i shall remove my profile from this site because you people of just plain nasty.

Great logic, if i can do it and get away with it then it's cool. Just glad its a minority that think like that.

I think the term "gank" means something different to everyone, to me it means killing someone who has no means of stopping me and doing it for no reason other than the fact that you can. I only roll cara's on PvP servers and useually spend most of my time PvPing and never RP, PvPing is what makes MMo's fun for me. But i think that bullying people is bullying be it in real life or in game, if you can beat on some one weaker than you just because you can and then justify it to yourself, then your a bully. It can't be explained away under the geise of sportmanship, historical continuity, game lore or roleplaying, it's just plain old mean spirited malicious behaviour.

Also i have to say your quite oblivious to the fact that no developer designs their game with the idea that 5% of the players will run off 20 maybe 30% of their new customers, just because the game allows them to kill off new low leveled un experienced players.

I may be completely wrong here and welcome correction if so, but to the best of my knowledge all that ganking serves to do is make people who have been ganked not want to play.  So then there are fewer people in game than there could be and over time no one except gankers ganking each other. then the game slowly dies away and finally gone all together. I think there are even a few well known examples of this too??? or am i wrong there?.

 

Then using your retard logic, then why are all the pvp servers in WOW not low pop?

Hell, my old server was a day server with the world first Nefarian kill and the first North American Cthun kill.

The people who cry abut being pvp'd, are the ones at fault, not the person ganking. The ganker is using the game mechanics as the developers intended. or do developers intend for cowards and crybabies to roll on pvp servers. 

First off only truly ignorant and all round malicious little cretins begin a response with an insult and such a venomous one at that. secondly i clearly stated that i could be wrong and welcomed correction, that wasn't code for verbally insult and offend me. I can see no valid reason for you to call me a retard and you should be ashamed mate if you think it's ok to go around acting like a pre-schooler. Grow up.

Good luck with it. I was looking for a space-based MMO to take the edge off WoW burnout. I tried Eve two separate times, and found it completely incomprehensible, a spreadsheet geeks wet dream.

Hope you have better luck, waiting for STO....

 

"He was asking for tips"............

 

 Gotta say i too tried to play EvE 3 or 4 times and couldn't get into it, not bashing the game or the players. Just for me it wasn't something i found myself easily immersed into, further more, in fact i found it somewhat alienating in it's lack of newbie direction.  Plus the interface is kinda baffling too. But i know that it has to be a good game because of its rep and fanbase, just can't for the life of me figure out how to get into it as i guess many before and after me cant either.

So someone say buys WoW (as it's the most obvious) spend x amount on the game, x amount on the expansions, spend hours and hours updateing it, not to mention subs. Once they get in game they start questing, an hour in some high level comes accross them and ganks them for an hour or so camping their corpse. Why on earth would that person want to play on?. My point is that it is a game, but a game that costs money to play and its a bit harsh and self involved to think that cuz you already played for ages you have the right to waste their time and money by ruining there game experience because you can. Just because the rules say its ok dont make it fair and just because you think its fair dont make it ok.

Ganking is cool if it's against same levels or maybe higher ones, but marching round what is more often or not a starting zone and slaughtering newbies is a. Cowardly b. Boring and c. Pointless. Anyone who feels there is justification in hyperthetically ruining a new players game experience, purely for the sake of it should cast their minds way way back to when they started the game and consider whether they would apreciate such mean spirited behaviour levied at themselves.
