in EVE Online
I've loaded up EVE Trial... and the tutorial is sooo boring. I know the tutorial is a must but basicly it's boring.. I guess it's not my type of game. It looks soo complicated too many buttons and sh*t. The corporation, the ships battle .. that I read about all seemed fun but far away when bored has already settled down in this lonely space

The Tutorial is pretty boring but it is a MUST.
Maybe it is just not your sort of game. Either way if you stay welcome, if not thanks for trying it out.
I'll try to continue the tutorial tommorow, my patience is quite limited when I have a headache which I think isn't helping my EVE experience lol. I've never seen a game with soo many buttons @_@
There are a lot of buttons, but in reality you should only focus on a few so with practice you will propably find the EVE interface very straight forward and simplistic.
Good luck.
I read the OP and thought 'a lot of buttons, where?', but then I realized that yes, there are a quite a lot of buttons when you're inside a station, on the left, on the right...
And sometimes you even have to use them.
Don't fret the user interface, it gets intuitive real fast if you keep playing. All the important stuff's on your left (Your wallet, assets, people & places, character sheet) and are always available whether docked or undocked and flying. On the bottom of the screen when flying you have the pew pew buttons and a few other buttons of which you mainly will use the scanner, and readouts about your health. On the right-hand side when docked you have the station interface, with station service buttons that you sometimes need, and agent/station visitor/office list screens that you need every now and then, but rarely unless mission running.
Right-click in space solves many problems, and the overview in your left when flying can be customized to not include all the rubbish you don't need.
But, if EVE bores you already at the tutorial stage, it may really not be the game for you... But I hope you do try again after getting rid of that headache. Might help.
Good luck, and good hunting!
Also a few more suggestions.
1. Find a goal. whether its to be a badass at Combat, Be a good trader, be a pirate or whatever.figure this out and do some research this will also tell you how to advance your skill training. this may change i started out with the goal to master drones and drone combat. Instead i ended up liking blaster somuch im all about being on your hull pumping out the dps. but for now get a goal.
2. Find a corp to fly with that go along with your goals. if your goal is ot be good at pvp joining a highsec mining corp isnt going to be much fun for you. Remeber eve is all about social interactions if you fly alone and dont talk to anyone its going to be lonely.
3. Be proactive. I cant stress this enough noone is going to give you a clear cut path to follow you need to move forward and do things on your own accord.
4. Dont take anything personaly. in eve things happen you will lose get blown up by someone eventualy and podded eventualy. 99% of the time these people have nothing against you and may even be nice and help you or give you advice on what you may have done wrong, but dont get upset with them, mabe you flew into lowsec and ran into pirates they are just tring to make money their way, mabe you flew into 0.0 and hit an alliance gatecamp they are just defending their territory. if you blow up and get angry your only going to make yourself look foolish
5. if you cant afford to lose it dont fly it.
6. dont move into a bigger ship till your pretty confident if your abilities in your current class of ship. I've seen to many people ruin their expirience because they felt they had to fly a battleship at 2 months old. by that time yes you CAN equip large guns and CAN equip a large repper the problem is taht there are so many skills and knowledges that goe into flying one effectively that you just dont have at 2 months old. besides you dont have to be in a BS to be effective. I'll take a 2 month old frigate specilist any day over a 2 months old bs pilot. the 2 month old frigate specialist is can fly his ship pretty well a 2 month old player in a bs is just a burden.
7. if you can handle the patiance involved do learning skills FIRST. yea its a drag to do them first but your well rewarded for it
8. If your a drinker give someone you trust your accn info and tell them if you go drinking to move your most expensive ship somewhere. nothing like wakeing up with a hangover on sunday and logging on and finding out you dont have that fully faction navy megathron anymore to make you feel somewhat stupid (esp if you dont even remeber how you lost it)
9. and ide say most importantly dont do anything you dont feel like doing. the only exceptions to this are the tutorial and learning (dont have to do learning right away but i do suggest doing them sometime early on)
Horses for courses Mate.
Eve will never be everyone's cup of tea. It'd be pretty boring if everyone enjoyed the same game & the lag in Jita would be worse (I never thought I'd be writing that last bit)
One of the things that I had/have the most trouble with is.. all that race chosing ability.. ect... This isn't like a rpg where you can just pick it up and you can assume what everything does.
I didn't know what race to pick.. so I started by picking the gall something which are suppose to be for liberty and freedom... but at the end they look soo ugly so I switched to the slave race, which might not be soo righteous but I have something to fight out of.
Now.. Business, Military... I went I think business... then at the end I went Drifter... Drifter sounds sexy.. but basicly im not sure what everything will do at end time. Let me check what I put in: OK I WENT
Minmatar -> Vherokior -> Male
2 INT, 2 MEM, 1 PERCEPTION
Drifter -> Prospector
What do you guys think of that?
