Eve Online:
- Thread starter TEKLOFTY
- Start date
I played the trail, some of my mates play it and I was going to join them. Then I realised the learning curve is ridiculous, and I have a short attention span.
That is the thing that puts many people off sadly, the game isn't very conducive to new players.
So is eve more about clicking skills and what not rather than actually being good at flying? Do you have to join in with people or can you "go it alone"?
Rather interested in having a go.

Eve is to X3 what Noughts and Crosses is to Chess.
X3 is easily the greatest most in depth space game ever made, but it also has a learning curve like a brick wall that puts most people off getting in to it.
I tried X3 but like you said, its a massive learning curve. I need something that a little easier to control
Had a mate who was introduced to it by the bloke who is now his stepdad...
Apparently he got shown it early in the evening, and kept playing until morning.
Always been slightly tempted to have a go, I just couldn't summon the funds or the patience.
I play this, not like eve but it's certainly engrossing and subtley tactical:

There are so many facets to eve i couldn't really begin to explain; skills are naturally a large part of it but more often then not tactics win out in - terms of pvp.
You can definately go it alone if you like, even if it is billed as an 'MMO'.
I started again a few weeks ago, and got to say that after the turgid crap ( can I say crap?) that was WoW, this is a breath of fresh air !
You can play this as you like ... hunting 'Rats' in Hi-security space if your a carebear, making your fortune blasting hapless bits of rock to smitherines via mining, sat on your arse playing the stock market or upsetting someone where, somewhere by blowing them up for no apparent reason !
The really nice thing is, that unlike conventional MMO's where you pick skills , insta-learn them then get a new skill next time you level up ... your toon learns it's skills in Real time. even when you are not playing your toon is actively progressing. The flip side is that getting very good is going to take quite awhile.
Anyways .. lovely graphics and a game you do not have to devote time to.
