I recently played the closed beta of black prophecy and made me think of actually paying for eve... But the thing is.. Im kinda broke.. So I want to know if it's actually possible to play from the ISK you make.. and is there guides for so? I can play around 13 hours per day.. I can do hard precise work for game time if im sure it would work.. If it's not possible I think I would remain on black prophecy... I recently realised that I need to be openminded to new kind of games.. So any eve players out there?

13 hours a day? You can make billions easy. Buy low, sell high or trades or planetary interaction can all net you more than you need to buy a plex.
A "plex" is a thing you can buy in game for isk (the in game currency). Once you buy a plex, you can redeem it for 30 days gametime. They cost about 400 million isk usually. 13 hours a day you can make 400m isk in no time.
Would you mind helping me out getting started? Like skip straight to the important stuff? my email//msn is kittyjessika@Hotmail.com or my skype is kittyjessika1
I dont want to start as someone drifting in space that dont know what to do and waste money =/
That is impossible with EVE. EVE isn't action packed game (well, it is some times, but not always), you need to spend a lot of time just learning right skills to do something while getting experience with what you have. Even for a simple formula "Buy low, sell high" you need:
a) Money to actually buy something. Well, if you get like 7-10% income from trade agreement you are really lucky. So need to deal with compact expensive goods or chip goods in huge numbers. And that get you to...
b) You need a good cargo ship to move your goods from point A to point B. And that means money and skills. And skills in EVE = time. More cargo hold you want more skills you need to learn.
c) Best deals you'll get in low security space (mostly in 0.0). To get there and survive you need even more skills. And that means even more time to learn.
Other activities require you to learn even more skills. So it's not like you jump in your Merlin and do 400kk in you first month. Maybe after about 5-6 month of playing that is possible but not from the start.
Or, you can just get the idea of it and start trading NPC goods in a Industrial, which can be trained in like a day. You won't make nearly as much as what you're talking about, but with about 50mil startup, you can easily make about 15-30mil/hour.

Well, you need a startup anyway
And 15-30kk/hour with Badger Mk 2 is a bit too much i think.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that EVE is bad or something. But trading/mining in empire space makes EVE a boring single player game with subscription for my taste. And thats why i dropped it for the first time. Just couldn't get an idea why the hell i have to pay for wasting my time and playing a simulator of "geting from point A to point B in a slowpoke spaceship". And as far as i get it Kittyjessika looking for more action packed gameplay since Black Prophecy is a very action-oriented game. While flying in Industrial for hours isn't that action and fun at all.
This has always been the problem for me with EVE. I like to be rewarded for how much time I put into a game. In EVE it takes a month to learn your skills up to be able to do anything of importance. Doesn't matter if you play 1hour a day or 23 hours a day. The time based skill system still only allows you to progress so fast. It is nice in theory since you always have something to "work" towards, but it just chaps my ass that someone is further along than me who has been playing an hour a day for x months compared to my hours a day for a month.
I have given it the old college try on a few occasions. I think my character I have was a HAC pilot. Just kind of got boring after a while for me. Especially when trying to run missions in 0.0 using a 150mil ship (sacrilege at the time I played) + all the addons. Jump through the wrong gate and get podded by 5-6 people camping. It is funny, but just got old after a while.
Female playing EVE 13 hours per day.

See, I don't get why it matters. After a point, you can cap out whatever type of ship you're trying to fly and at that point they'll be no better than you, even if they've been playing for 5 years. They'll just have more options, which doesn't affect you in the slightest.
I guess it is just personal preference. I started games out with UO where I had to actually do something to raise my skills up, not just fill my queue up and log.
