I really hope that tv show about EVE pans out...
-
Wat. How in the hell have I not heard about this. I know about the book, but not about this TV show.
-
Supposedly, it's going to be about player driven events that happen in the game, like this battle that you linked too.
-
Wow. That could actually be amazing if they did it [i]just[/i] right. If they didn't though, it'd probably suck.
-
Well, I never should have read that. I really want to play eve, damn you subscriptions!.
-
In EVE you really only need to pay the sub fee for a month or two. After that, you can usually make enough ISK (in-game currency) to pay for your subscription fee.
-
I'd much rather have that 600 mil a month go towards my pvp ships, but hey that's just me.
-
I made ~4 billion a month back when I played. 600mil was a dent, but I still had enough for PvP and such.
-
I'm not heavily invested in industry so I'll probably never see that kind of money. I instead opt to rub incursions for my money. While I could easily make that kind of money if all I did was run incursions, that doesn't sound to fun to me as I'd much rather be roaming out with my corp in null and low.
-
Good to know, still I dont like sub based games. Though it is nice to know that you can earn your gametime by actually playing. Do you play it?
-
I used too, but I had to take some time off becuase it was consuming too much of my time. The learning curve is pretty steep, but once you get into it the game is fun as hell and it really gets you hooked. Like, drug-addiction hooked...
-
MMO addiction is something I know all to well..... I've really wanted to get into EVE for a long time now, I'm just not sure if I should bother....
-
I had the same dilemma back when I first wanted to play. It looked fun, but I could never get into it. Eventually I just dedicated a full day to reading start-up guides then signed up for the trial. The game stuck at that point and I had an absolute blast. If you do decide to start playing, be wary of a few things. The first is that the game might take a few tries to stick; if you don't like the game on your first go definitely try again later. The second is that the game has a really steep learning curve. If you try to play by yourself, you probably won't have much fun. Read some starter guides, join a noob company, and don't be afraid to ask questions. It'll really help you acclimate to the game.
