I've tried the eve trial, no less than 3 times.
And i just cant get into it.
When i played WoW there was always something to do. Somthing to shoot for....pretty much.
But I dont want to just play for the "bigger ship" so I can kill even "bigger ships".
To be honest I'm looking for a way that I could progress through the story. This is one of the reasons I left Wow...Maybe even the main reason.
I enjoy the being able to make you character anyway you want. This is fine, and since theirs really no "grind" its all the better.
I need quests, not just any quests. story driven quests, with purpose and something that keeps the story moving.
To be really honest i dont know how i can enjoy this game.
Dont stay Join a corp because i need to know i can have fun solo, as well as i just dont feel like mining.
at all. do you hear me? no mining. Dont even think it.
Sigh.....I guess I'll have to wait for Star trek online. (yes its really coming out)
Eve is sooooooo boring.

hahaha oh man, I almost took you seriously. Then I saw who you are, and realized I've heard you complaining about every other game out there. Silly troll
You've missed the point of EVE. It isn't a quest driven game. Try SWG, which isn't either but it's closer.
thats true, it really seems to be a player driven game (rather than quest).
YARRRR become a pirate.
Did you see those mug shots on the billboards? Some players have over a billion$$ bounty on their heads.
You'll have to make your own goals, and then set forth and persue them.
The game wasnt made to spoon feed players "content".
I'm aspiring to be a scoundrel.
sadly it took me a day to figure out i decide my future in eve, not the developers, AND THAT IS WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT IT. I can do what i want with my character, when i want to. even if im not an engineer i can stil pursue that goal. it's awesome. I don't know what i plan to be as of right now. but i cant wait to get back on and play with my corp.
Have you tried pirating? trading? mercenary? empire building? combat? politics? recrutiment? hauling? building?
Your mindset is that of someone playing a spoonfed game like WoW. Sooner of later you run out of things to do. Eve is so vast and player driven meaning there is always new goals if your willing to open your mind.
ok, about what you said about the story in eve, the thing is, it's not such a dull game as WoW where you just smash, hack and do the same boring quests that lead to, yes, other lame and boring repetative quests, in Eve the point is to hook up with other players, set goals for your own and try to make your way into the game, i have been playing eve since release and i've been enjoying it every day, having a nice corporation, nice community and offcourse a WONDRFULL game that imo beats every other MMORPG way into the ground. when you join again(and you should) join the People's Front of Judea, and then you'll know what true fun is

Totaly Agree !!!
Create your own Corp and see how hard it is, to be a new man in this very big space...
Running a new corp is a hard mission for some... Work your way with it and you will make it !!!

Darkness is my Path
EVE isnt for everyone...try SWG*jtl*, you might enjoy that one.
Politics? Empire building? I really wanna know more about these. I'd like to know that something I'm doing is a team effort maybe?
Empire building sounds cool. Be apart of something hooge. Actually I'd rather be a medium sized corp, just to piss off the other peoples.
Honestly though, What are the most comman goals for eve players?
Also I know that the whole "I can be what ever i want!" Thing is appealing to some but to me it feels like I'd never be needed because some one with 4 months expirence can do the same thing.
I liked the class design for WoW for the most part.
Fighter pilot, now theirs an idea i can get behind.
Any thoughts?
"Honestly though, What are the most comman goals for eve players?" by mechwarrior
And what's the WoW's players goal ... 2 get 2 lvl 60 (max 2-3 month) and than wait 4 developers 2 do something new ???
Thanx but no thanx !
So far ... EVE rocks
my world !
Ok the game is truely unlimited. You want storyline missions? Do regular missions from regular agents and you'll get eve-mail from storyline agents wanting your help with a problem they have. These appear kinda random so you must have patience. You can go a day without a single one and then the next get 7 storyline missions at once.
As for corp and empire building that is a blast but a ton of work. Getting together with the right bunch is the first step. I am the token yank in an otherwise UK/European corp. We have a blast doing things. And believe it or not group/corp mining can be interesting when pirates come acalling and you are in basically defenseless mining barges that have to scramble to get the heck outa there or become space dust. Then grabbing your combat ships and heading back to have a little conversation with the pirates. Assuming they haven't just grabbed what they could and headed for their next mark. We then keep a few guys in combat ships while rest mine. Just incase the pirates think to try it again.
We also group up for doing lvl 4 missions and high end complexes. Remember this is a mmorpg and the best times are had when you are part of a group. Yes you can solo, but don't expect it to be as wild as the times with your friends.
So find a corp that works for you and go have fun. You may need to try a few corps before you find just the right fit.
BTW my guy is primarily a scientist so I am going the route of researching, but that doesn't stop me from getting out there and mixing it up.
And now my personal fav smiley

First of all, Eve is a thinking game. It's not really experience or skill points in the game that counts. It's your head and then the rest. You can come up with an original idea and make a corp based on that and make billions. Then you will see others following your footsteps.
You want to make your presence known in Eve? You can if you really want. A few examples. First, Moo corp which was a pirate corp and it had an effect on how pvp is in Eve today to certain extend. It was so famous that mission agents, were comparing NPC pirates to Moo corp. Second, Guiding Hand Social Club (sp?) is famous for the biggest corp theft in the history of Eve which took many many months of preparation. If I recall correctly, it was over 20 billions isk. Third, NAGA corp which is a not a big corp but almost the whole Eve buys goods from them. I think NAGA has around 30 members.
If you want to be a fighter pilot, join a corp in 0.0 alliance. You will be tackling in 2 weeks of training time. After that you train up your skills to support something else then a frig. Also, you have to decide what kind of fighter pilot you want to be. You can be EW specialist, a scout for the fleet flying covert ops ships, a tackler flying interceptors, a heavy damage dealer and etc. When you will get enough experience and if you got leadership skills and cool head, you might eventually become a fleet commander for the whole alliance.
