I gave EVE a try --cannot recommend to new players

Please, tell us how you do that.

What triggered you this time?

how about the Campaign for the Liberation of Itinerant Tritanium-bearing Or Raw Isogen Sources?

I don’t think the acronym would work though.

For the last time I was referring to PvP combat. That is what I will avoid as much as is possible.

This is my last comment on this - I don’t know why so many people need this spelled out.

I wouldn’t recommend Eve Online to people who are about to start College or University, or have a full-time job or career…

:grin:

This game is actually great for new players. In fact I wish I could go through the rookie phase again.

As someone who has been playing as an industrialist for 6 years, I see myself, and the game as a whole, doing just fine. The stuff that I make is selling profitably because I price it properly to begin with. I don’t need to chase the market down because I understand the cyclical nature of commodity markets. I expect my business will improve as people like you, who are unwilling or unable to adapt to change, drop out.

I see what you did there, Jay and Silent Bob would be proud.

Although I can’t quite wrap my tongue around the spelling.

Easy - park your character in a hi-sec (10) npc station, and never log-on again.

lol it was a Red Dwarf reference but OK :smiley:

As a fan of Red Dwarf I’m ashamed to have not picked it up, I instantly thought of Jay and Silent Bob’s ā€œI am the CLIT commanderā€

Because you obviously have a very limited view of what pvp means. Perhaps you should try to be more clear what you mean to say before posting your crap.

interesting take you have on T1 items…

My corp made 12 billion ISK profit building and dumping them last week after a 24 hr build time…

hmmm, me thinks you do not know how to do industry.

@Ashreya_Faraday - It’s because that particular subject is deeply rooted in the concepts of what EvE is and has beenā€¦ā€œhotly debatedā€ since the beginning of EvE. You inadvertently touched one of the ā€œthird railā€ subjects in EvE. Don’t take it too personally…jerk. :wink:

@Ashreya_Faraday

@Xuxe_Xu is correct, its a deeply rooted concept to make this distinction.

For me it comes down to being a litmus test, as in is this player a Carebear or not? or just delusional?

for the moment i think your going to do fine in EvE

So how much money’s worth of T1 items did you sell in order to make 12 billion in profit? Really curious.

Minerals that you mine yourself are free. You can make 12 billion selling anything.

They sure are. While I’m down at the pub IRL, my 50 alpha character bot farm is hoovering up everything in my little corner of sov null.

God bless F2P.

And the best part is that you can then sell the ISK gotten from the free minerals for real cash. It’s almost like you’re being paid to go to the pub!

Truly, we live in a glorious age.

I am so guilty of that… which is why I am reluctant to log into Steam, they keep offering specials.

One other company released statistics a few years back (Jan 2014) regarding one of their games, a rather well known MMO, giving current subs being around 7.6% of all accounts ever made.

I think it was a Star Wars game that the server shut down after going from several tens of thousands of subscribers to around a dozen in the space of a week because of some publisher douchbaggery that completely enraged the playerbase to the point where they simply quit.

On the other hand, Battlestar Galactica Online was steady at several thousand paying subscribers when the server shut down with two weeks notice. The rage in the game chat channels was so bad the mods had no choice but to pre-empt the PEGI R-rating by shutting those down ahead of time.
