No, you do whatever you want. There's no experience points, no leveling, no need to grind NPCs.

That skill gain is also the same no matter if you're online or offline, so the people who powergame 20 hours a day don't have significant advantages either.

Yeah I read the full FAQ after I posted. Not sure it appeals to me, though. Plus it's kind of expensive per month.

And I'd be the unlucky freighter captain who gets shit from pirates all too often, knowing my luck.

Yeah but expansions are free so unlike other MMOs you don't have to pay $30-$40 every 6 months on a new box.

Well thanks to you I downloaded it and made an account after work yesterday. So far it looks pretty sweet. I just joined a corp this morning and they hooked me up with a new ship and they are teaching me lots of stuff so that's cool.

I was just sick of level grinding, I realised that that was what I didn't like about other MMORPGS so we'll see how this goes.

What corp ya in?


The biggest reason people leave EVE is they get to a point shortly after the noob tutorial where there's so many things they could do that they don't know what to do.


To the rest of the gamers: I can hand out 14 day trials at will for the game. h:

[Adam Sandler] another thing that could have been BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION YESTERDAY!! [/Adam Sandler]

hehe, I can't remember the exact name of the corp, Trojan something. They seem like a cool bunch so far. Of course I don't really have any idea what I'm doing at this point, hehe.

I just logged off after a busy night of chasing carebears around. My parrot is tired and this eyepatch chafes something awful.

Lol, i've been hearing this term carebears a lot but I haven't been able to figure out exactly what it means, perhaps you could offer some insight?
