Eve Online is all about PVP'ing 1 year later after you start

in EVE Online
Eve Online is designed in a way where you can only PVP 6 months to 1 year after you first start playing. They designed the game in a way where you don't even have to play and just auto creates your character over time. Isn't that brilliant? You can just stay logged out for 6 months to a year paying your monthly fee then hoping you don't get hit by a bus and die you can log in 1 year later to actually start playing the game.

Can someone point us to that article where that 4-day old noob is a successful pirate. Also point us out to all those people who started combat day 1, joined a 0.0 corp and become a competitive PvPer within 2-3 months. While we're at it lets point out all those people who play the economic side of the game.
Now that that's done everyone point out the guy who thinks he knows everything.

after having read the first sentence. I can conclusively say this person has never played EVE. There is a story somewhere on the forums of some guy pirating with a trial account and making tens of millions by PvPing within 2 weeks. From my own experience all you need is a fast ship and a scrambler to be an invaluable asset to group pvp as a tackler. All those "OMG JOO CAN NEVVER CATCH UP!" threads are bull. I was PvPing with my corpmates within the first month.
Make of it what you will.
Some simpletons simply dont get that in EvE one has to think outside the box. This isnt WoW where the devs hold your hand from start to finish.
In Eve there is no finish. If you dont have the brains think outside the box then eve isnt the game for you. Spare yourself the frustration and go play World of Warcraft or Everquest 2.

Join a corp...I joined a corp with people very willing to help you in beginning...I was piloting a cruiser in ten days after i was taught where the most profitable traderoutes and missions are and helped the corp miners in hauling
Well pirrg I see you still never miss a chace to bash a game. When you play EQII at least get off the newbie island before you judge a game.
Oh and by the way I am not a fan of EQII. I tried it got up to a 27 Templar and decided if was not for me. But at least I gave it a chance.
Also Eve is a fantastic game, but not for everyone.
Support Bacteria, its the only culture some people have.
The worst thing ppl say to noobs is to train those learning skills first imo. ppl should train some of the skills they need for pvp long before they train those learning skill.
learning skills are great later on when u start training lev 5 skills and such but before that ppl should tell the noobs to train skills they need most for pvp..
that guy that was a pirate in his 14 day trial sure as hell didnt train learing skills
If pitbulls could lock their jaw the first pitbull would still be hanging on
Pittbull I totaly agree. But use the advice to train so that you can make it without training for a month before you train your learnings.
(Everyone don't want to PvP.)
Hehe.. I would really like to see the lvl 10 OMFG Rouge in WoW that go up against a lvl 20 fungusfarmer and accually do anykind of damage.
(note: I'm not saying that it's impossible but....)

what was the ponit of making a post like this were not even talking about EQ2
I have been playing eve for about 8 months and have been in many fleet battles involving as many as 60-80 players at one gate having a gankfest. First of all you can't just train a skill and log off otherwise you would train a 30 minute skill log out and nothing else will happen CCP ensures that a player must log on to at least change skills and NO THERE IS NOT A CUE and CCP has done this for a reason. Another valid point that I must make is that if you are logged off for a long period of time even if you were training one of the longer 30 day skills you will still lack the PVP and PVE experience and that counts for nearly 70% of your battlefield effectiveness. The corp I belong to recruits noobs sometimes and to be honest they make some of the best PVP'rs in the long run because from the start they know how to fit a ship how to fight in groups and what skills to train and in what order. We have taken on alliances and won because of the quality and loyalty of our members and that goes a long way.
Eve is a great game and why someone would suggest leting it be idle for 6 months is beyond me. Thats like buying a Porsche and just putting it in the garage for 6 months. Anyway just my humbled opinion.
I just posted in another topic about this pvp thing. I'm going into pvp for the first time tonight or tomorrow, and I've been playing for ummm 4 weeks. Like hell I'd wait 6 months to blow someone up or at least try. That's just crazy talk. I've seen people with 1-10 mil skill points get taken out by someone with about 500k skill points, just because the newer player knew what the heck he was doing. It's all about the experience, and the benjamins(isk).
Anyway, if you think this game wants you to wait 6 months to a year to pvp, you really need to talk to some people that actually pvp. I'm betting they'll tell you otherwise.

I want to 'get into' Eve Online i've tried the trial awhile ago but its so bloody annoying! it goes into so much detail as soon as you log in. Does anyone know an un-official guide for 'newbies' thats explains everything??
(\ /) ?
( . .)
c('')('')
Go to www.eve-online.com (the official website) and they have a player guide on there that explains everything the tutorial goes over and more. By the way this is the only official website that I've ever used. The others are just crap advertising the game, and are never updated. EQ2's website looks exactly the same. lol

I live to fight, and fight to live.
check out the eve-online homepage.. i think there is some kind of quick guide there. DOnt know exactly where tho
