Been there done that, completely doable even if it might require more time and effort to progress than before. > [@Solution to suicide gankers?](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/solution-to-suicide-gankers/363932/55): > > I’ve only started a couple years ago when F2P was recently added. I’ve started from zero and went up slowly. Ran L1 missions in my Atron and grinded my way up. You can check my EVE screenshots, guide and EVEblog to see my journey. Got killed just as anyone else, lost ships due to mishaps and pilot errors and whatnot and it was all fine despite they were step backs. I did adhering to not flying what I could not lose or replace and that’s it. Just keep going forward and you’ll be fine… or complain… Just requires to have the proper mindset then nothing will stop you even if you experience setbacks which is part of the experience. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/is-it-real-to-begin-from-scratch-in-this-game-almost-solo/370094)._
