If I had the chance to tell my past self something about this game it would be that it’s an amazing space game worthy of playing. I would also mention a few tips to help me… Get in touch with ??? to learn about his style of marketing again and dont trust anyone else cause of scamming even from old friends outside of the game. Dont join the first corp outside of the npc corp as they couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag and would rather dry hump the station during wars. Avoid joining SGE as I wasn’t ready both mentally and financially at the time. Skill for lvl 4 missions for a character on 2 different accounts then plvl the other characters to have standings for lvl 4 R&D agents for the lotto. (I only had lvl 2’s at the time) Buy T1 cargo expander bpos and cloak bpos as they will change into T2 versions later on even if it means paying more than other players. Take advantage of the mine bpo trick to buy more bpo’s and save them for later to sell. Dont waste isk buying bookmark packs as they will be redundant in the future. Lastly and probably the most important… Don’t buy plex and save the money while keeping a eye out for bitcoin to invest in early and then sell them off in 2021 when the price rockets as I learned about it in eve. ---

Learn how to play and not take long breaks due to frustration. Moderate your game time so that you dont burn out. This is one of the major keys to advancement. ---
