I started playing EVE last week and what I could notice immediately is that the game is really based on playing with others. While it is fun to do stuff myself I also wanna experience playing with others. I heard about corporations but what is the best option for new, inexperienced players like me?
Also, just because folks may not be in a corp or group with you, still wouldn’t mean you couldn’t be friends. While i may not fly with Goons, i do have a few friends in that group, and I’m always willing to fly out with new people who need help etc.
While some people are less nice, there are generally a lot of people willing to help.
