General Discussion

I love that EVE just keeps on getting better.  Space MMO's are not for everyone, but there is so much flexibility in EVE that you can make your own fun, and we don't have to pay for improvements. 

And no, you don't "get PvP'd straight away"; if you want to stay safe you can.  I've lost one ship in over two years ... sure I'm not a PvP player in EVE but I still really enjoy my gametime.  Of course, the no PvP thing is going to change ... after all, stealth bombers are not that good for missions

unless you like free for all PVP because you will begin to getting ganked within hours of starting eve

non-pvpers are just blood in the water to the pvp gankers that harass you and destroy your ships that may take you weeks to buy.

Lol ? I was playng eve for quite some time on non-pvp way i was attacked ONCE by my stupid mistake only , i resubscribed again not loong ago and i still play non pvp way and i have 0 problems with situations you subscribe here

probably a so i leave you alone.

I just must say i totally love upcoming changes , especially customizable ships

I love it when people cry about losing ships. Okay. So you go out to 0.0 and instantly get ganked. Right. You're an idiot. Seriously.

Eve is a TEAM game. You're meant to fly around in fleets if you're going pvp. Think of it this way. You're a soldier in hostile territory. You're walking down the road and looking at all the cool stuff. BAM, you get shot in the head, and scream GANKED! 

Bottom line is, if you're SMART, you won't get killed. If you're an idiot, then you're just fodder for the rest of us. Is it smart to jump into a 0.0 bottle neck system which is PROBABLY going to have a hostile bubble camp? No. You deserve to lose your stuff if you don't think. Period.

most non-pvpers get fustrated and cancel in just a few months and there are no large non-pvp guilds  if a non-pvp guild gets too large they get war declared on them and become fare game 24/7  this means you either become pvp  or you sit in a station doing nothing for a week (if not more) or you cancel and go to another game where you can play in relative peace.

eve is still a very nitch game that is why they have so few subscribers

STARTREK ONLINE will get more subscribers on their first day than eve has

this new ship construction thing is a direct responce to STO ship system

the wormholes will really only be for PVPers because they will destroy anyone else that isnt a pvp template like them and you can never catch up  you will be stuck with the same noob universe that hasnt changed since release.

EVE looks prety but the universe is dead and boring and the quests are as fun as a tax audit.

some day maby the icelandic brain will thaw out and they will realize how bad they are messing up (not as bad as sony but prety bad)

save your money and wait for STO.

lol@you, STO fanboy

I would suggest the EVE corp and alliance recruitment forum if you have not already done so. Also EVE University exists for new pod pilots, keep them in mind. Welcome to EVE.

 Ive been playing eve since 2004 (4+ years) and i can tell you A. New players can kill older eve players..there is none of the mythical (zomg he has more skillpoints then me oh noez flee),  i have lost ships to cheap frigs and cruisers fielded by newer players.

The so called constant pvp, in a way is true but you cry the fact that new players expect to get ganked as soon as they start. Not true. Unless you do go into low sec on 0.0 space..well thats just an ass kicking waiting to happen. And i would expect to get ganked. low sec and 0 space has better missions and better rewards, but carries higher risks, besides much 0.0 space is either syndicate or alliance controlled so youll get ganked anyhow just because they are defended by any particular entity that roams there unless you have sorted out standings, have a fleet of your own or can scout systems ahead for danger.

The players that do cry about it usually go into low sec and 0 space alone adn do get gangked. Eve highly encourages people to group together, that is how you truly survive and enjoy the game. Eve is not a game that holds your hand and it is harsh and doesnt baby you every step of the way.

As for the game universe not ever changing..Not true either. Weve seen last year just how Goonswarm was able to inflict heavy loses on Band Of Brothers and their coalition. How mercenary corporations can affect an outcome of a war to in regards to the highest bidder. Faction warfare has made high sec pvp more possible besides war's between corps and alliances.  Yes the missions can be somewhat dull, but i have not done a mission in almost  4years, with the amount of things you can do in the universe i never found i had to.

I look f forward to star trek online but the two games are so vastly different that im not to concerned about sto and eve competing head on.

I would check out "Eve University" they are a big alliance that helps players new and old with the game. They are a decent bunch of players so i recommend checking them out. You can find more here http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=521860.

damn, while reading this, all i said is: "Damn cant wait to get back."  EVE is one and only, its just diffrent then other games...

the possibility of ground game,... and to be able to modify ships by your own way,... ufff,... alot will happen in eve :)

Eve University is a great corp for players new to the game. They will literally teach you anything you could possibly want to know about Eve.

I am biased as I'm currently a member.

Oh, and I'm all tingly thinking abour what CCP has in store for the game (to get this back on topic).
