• • Is this game for me?

    Alright ive been trolling the forums for a while today looking at a few things and trying to figure out what MMO is for me. My search has been fruitful and i have been looking at EVE for a while but i have a few questions.

    1.) Can i play this game at a casual pace and still enjoy much of the content it has to offer?

    2.) I have heard numerous times that this game can be a little bit much to handle in the PvP arena once you decide to risk it. I enjoy PvP once in a while but only at a minor level. Is this game for me on this level?

    3.) Many People and Posts have told me that this game is truely the richest in depth and especially so with crafting in the economy. Is this something i can jump into or is it gonna take me months of playing and working at it?

    Now i know this mostly pertains to time investment and the whole can a casual gamer enjoy this quandry, but being a worker and a full time student i need something that i can manage around my schedule without having to be thinking about it all the time.

    Thanks so much for any help that you are willing to provide. I am also interested in hearing any general knowledge of the game and good solid reasons for joining.

     

    1. Yes. There are no levels. Instead, you have skills that level on their own. Some can take weeks to train, but they train while you're offline, so you don't even need to be playing to advance.

    2. EVE is very PvP centric, and it's brutal. When you die you lose your ship and everything you had on it, but if you bought insurance you get money back for the ship so it's not a total loss. If your escape pod gets destroyed and you didn't buy insurance, you lose skills. It's not that bad early in the game, though.

    Not a lot of PvE stuff though. It's only really PvP and mining.

    3. Months. The first 2 or 3 are slow, but after that the game picks up. You don't need to play that much a day, though.

    I don't think people are questioning whether or not we're alone in the universe, just if we've been visited by them.

    The bosses look to be huge in this game.
    
    So, speculation on the three remaining classes? I'm guessing some kind of archer based class at least.

     

    I'm guessing an archer, sorcerer, and maybe a druid.

  • I woke up and it was like Christmas morning.

    DIABLO 3?! *nerdgasm*

    The only thing that I don't like about it so far is that it's looking a little less dark. Not a big deal, though. I'm still going to buy it.
