To those wondering if this is worth it.

I started playing eve a bit less than a year ago. And i must say it is by far the most rich and fullfilling mmo i have ever played. But newer players will find the game absolutly unforgiving.

However if you follow the 4 main tips you will have a real nice time.

1: Always train.
2: Always keep an active clone.
(This is hugely important as most new players will find that if you die without a clone. That character is now back to zero. Players have lost YEARS.)
3: Insure your ship with the highest level insurance pretty much every time.
4: DONT fly what you cannot replace.

Also eve is not like other games. There are actual predators out there just waiting for new and oblivious players to enter the game. For a bit you should stick to high sec and completely finish the tutorial. However from that point on you are at the mercy of new eden just like everyone else.

To the player that seeks meaning in an mmo you need to look no farther. This game has perfected the fun in every aspect of its game.

Want to be a pirate and blow people up to take their stuff? You can do it in eve and its fun.
Want to follow the rules and work up the ranks in a large corp? You can do that in eve. and its fun.
Want to run drugs and make billions dodging the law and gate campers? You can do that in eve.
Want to run the markets? Eve has what is BY FAR the most complex and engaging market you will ever find.

I dont care what your into, eve will suit that need. But the cost is complexity. A full featured game requires a fully featured manual and anyone who knows what isk the guide is will tell you that eve has alot to learn (Isk the guide is 1000 pages).

And every single piece of information you find will be usefull.

This game is complex and brutal. However it also in my honest opinion is the greatest mmo you will ever find. CCP is uncomprimising in the quality it brings to players and eve is one of the last mmo's truely deserving of a monthly fee (not to mention if you do well enough in eve you can pay your sub ingame. AKA eve would have effectively cost you nearly nothing).

Its greatness comes in many ways but most of all is the simple terrifying ammount of freedom players in this world are given. With the right mindset and drive a new player can eventually become knowlegable and deceptive enough to literally bring down an empire established from day one.

And these are real people betraying real people. These are real people ransoming that one person they have warp scrambled. And yes he is begging because there is alota money in that cargo hold.

I guess in short what i am trying to say is the game is great and well worth the learning curve.

For example, In eve you can do incursions (think dungeons in wow) In wow it takes the normal new player about five or so hours before they can do a dungeon. In eve it can often take a year or so for the new player to build up to that level.

I couldn't agree more - I have played Eve for 10 years and it is the best MMO experience out there. Eve isn't like any other game - be careful who you trust, and what you trust them with. Build up working realtionships with other new players, work together towards a common goal - expect to be challanged and embrace it - don't fear it. This is a thinking persons game...

if i get it on steam for 1,99 eur do i get 1 month sub? Or i gotta buy it separately?

How is the game though? Most people that talk about this game say it's more of a 'chore' or a spreadsheet than a game. More of an economic simulator

They are right the game can become an economic simulator. And yes sometimes its good to use a calculator. But in eve that is just a simple part. If a player simply does not want to engage in that then by no means do you have too. But when you get up in pvp or high level stuff it can help. The spreadsheet stuff is more for people playing the market.

But if you wanted to make your money for example farming level 4 missions and salvaging scrap.. then you would have no need for a spreadsheet.

Now some players may say that the ui is "spreadsheety" but no more than wow having dps meters and aggro meters.. every piece of ui you have in eve is usefull and extremely flexable.

I'm actually pretty interested... So if I buy the starter pack now, does the 30 day trial instantly tick down (from time of purchase) or can I just let it sit till I create an account for it?

[Baneken]

If you buy your game from steam it starts immediately upon purchase and it uses your steam account cerentials for logging to EVE.

If you buy it from CCP website your time starts once you have created an account and activated your starter pack code.

As far as where chore comes to play it comes easily if you plan on financing your playing fees through mission running or incursions or any sort of PvE activity because while 600mil isn't much to some it's still a lot of isk to spend montly, especially if you have several characters like I did and especially if you feel that you HAVE TO do it to keep playing (instead of ponying up the odd 15$ a month per char).

This isn't true. You will only lose the highest level off of your highest-SP trained skill. So at most you will lose a few weeks of training.

But yes, keep your clones up to date.
