I tried Eve for about 3 months about 1-2 years ago.
I wanted to like it…I really wanted to like it. I love the ‘old style’ number crunching this game allows you to make. Lots of nuance.
However, try as I might, I grew bored with it.
Mining - not the most exciting. Doesn’t make nearly enough Isk than mission running does (below). Can’t really collect the material to make ships because (see Industry below).
Mission running - I became really good at this. Made tons of Isk this way. That being said…it is the same thing over and over.
Industry - Could never find anyplace to make stuff. They all seemed to be busy for 28+ days in the future.
I love PvP…but there is no place to ‘cut your teeth’ and learn the ropes. All combats are huge affairs or small affairs where you have no chance - either in experience in PvPing in Eve nor in raw strength. (Experienced people are NOT going to give you an even fight - that’s what makes them experienced )
So…Eve lovers…please convince me to reup…what could I do if I did that would be fun?
