EVE Online

This game has been around for the better part of 5 years now. Basically, what should be considered safe areas are indeed not safe. Eve Online is by far one of the worst gankfest games ever made, which can be fun or frustrating. It's fun for those who are established, financially stable and well equipped. It's frustrating for anyone who's just starting out since theres players who have nothing better to do than blow your ships up any way they can.

I like PvP, but this game promotes severe ganking of new players by veteran players who have worse potty mouths than the Barren Chat in WoW. Eve is a great game, atleast the concept is, but with no safety net for new players, it already hit its subscription cap years ago.

By all means, feel free to give it a try on a trial account, but the game is full of gankers, scammers and anything you can think of to basically ruin your day. Since Eve is all about high risk vs. reward, it's next to impossible to even get anywhere as a new player.

All I'm saying is, play at your own risk, but from a veteran MMO player and PvP fan, this game is ridiculous and don't say I didn't warn you.

No space in eve is safe, there is more secure space, where players are sometimes afraid on engaging or will get together to gank a high value target. My guess is since your claiming to be new, either

a) you were autopiloting in a hauler with 250mil+ worth of good in your hold and expected to live

or

b) you are a miner that tried to fight back and you lost.

Assuming either one of these situations are correct, get over it. Eve won't hold you hand.

Basically. In fact I find this especially funny as since the faction wars started up, its more friendly to new players than ever before.

By all means, feel free to give it a try on a trial account, but the game is full of gankers, scammers and anything you can think of to basically ruin your day. (translation: they compete against you and to separate the fools from their money) Since Eve is all about high risk vs. reward, it's next to impossible to even get anywhere as a new player. (translation: I failed to get anywhere, so of course no one  else could possibly succeed)

All I'm saying is, play at your own risk, but from a veteran MMO player and PvP fan, (translation: who isn't very good at this sort of challenging MMO/PVP) this game is ridiculous (translation: challenging and rewarding) and don't say I didn't warn you. (translation: because of course, I can't possibly be wrong) 

Seriously due, who pissed in your cheerios this morning?  You can't figure out how to play EVE, so somehow you feel the need to come to these forums and 'warn' everyone about your failure?

Hay!

You forgot to add the killmail link http://rnd.evekb.co.uk/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=330574

Wait...That guy took out a megathron with a frigate? I may still be new, but I didn't think that was possible!

I like this one better, mostly because it's a gank ship dying to a t1 frigate and a slightly better navy frigate..
Oh, and because it's me, a two year old player in a frigate. ;)
And also because it's the ultimate proof that knowledge about game mechanics, which you can simply learn with guides and playing around, is much more important than anything in eve.
