After Thursday, if all goes as planned, there will be a new way to make isk in eve. Participation in Factional Warfare.
FW will reward pilots in a militia, who kill ships of the opposing militia or who cap complexes (boring) with loyalty points, These loyalty points can be redeemed at LP stores for faction items, which you can put on your ships, or can be SOLD (probably via contract) to support your FW PvP. Some of the new items are pretty sweet for missioners or PvPers, so prices should be good. Think this will increase the willingness of people to fight in FW, and hopefully not just in blobs.
So, join an FW corp, get your pvp fix and get paid iskies for it.
Omgggggg my friends got me into this game and that said come join us and have fun. So far all any of them have done is logged in to switch their skills around and when I said lets go out and kill some shit they were too scared cause they didn't wanna lose anything............. I swear EVE is the only game you pay not to play. So far I've joined 6 different corps and all I've wanted to do is PVP right away and I've ended up waiting 2 days to do shit all. Most my time I'ves spent jumping backwards and forth. Just fucking stuck battlegrounds in the game and let me instantly get into PVP rather than wait a year for people to stopped being scared of dying in a game....
Get in your ship. Fly to the outside of any major trade hub like Jita, Rens, Amarr Throne Worlds and 'loot' any of the jetcans you see floating in space outside the station.
You'll get a first hand introduction to PVP within a matter of seconds.
Be sure to smack talk in local, people like it when you do that.
You aren't scared of dying are you?
To succeed in EVE, you must have the patience, smarts and wiles to succeed in three areas, Economics,Combat and Diplomacy.
The game won't show you how to make money, you'll need to figure that out for yourself. In my own case I actually make about 1/2 a billion ISK every month without actually doing anything other than selling stuff that the game gives me. But you can make ISK by mission running (I do some of that), ratting (I do that too), trading (need to get more involved in this) and manufacturing (I hate crafting, ugh).
There's also exploration, you could start up your own lottery, bank or recruiting servers (I've seen all of these in game) or you can always scam people. I lost 750M ISK one time to a scammer because I didn't follow the adivce someone else gave you in this thread, count all the zeros. (I swear, I thought it was 750K, bad idea to play when real tired)
Combat of course depends on how much you earn as well as what skills you train, and Diplomacy is the skills you use to get into a good corp, alliance or to dominate all of free space.
EVE's not a game for everyone, and almost all of us have gone through spells where the plan is a little vague, but if you keep at it you'll eventually figure out what niche you want to fill and go do it.
But one thing that is very important, you must be patient, EVE is not a game of instant gratification.
