Wow - Just starting out

Played EvE....then moved to star wars and they messed that up


Been playing WoW for neally 3 years now or more who knows
Anyway need some tips or advice give me a shout.....yes I know gnomes look cute but being alliance sucks, oh and I'am on Hellscream

I like Eve, although my Corps about to collapse, all the hardcore long termers have gone down to 0.0 space and I need my skills level to be higher before I can join them.

Just about to start nosing for a L3 agent too. Start earning some proper ISK. Got a fully passive Drake now too, so gonna start hunting in a local 0.4 space and see if i can get some noobs... Only got about 5.5mill Skill Points though, so need about 8-10 mill before i can join our older guys in 0.0.

Uh... what corp are you in? Mine's just gone to 0.0 as well, I've stayed back with my mate until we're tough enough to join them. We hang out in 0.5 atm but we'll be venturing into 0.4 when I've properly kitted out my new Hurricane. (Just moved up from a Cruiser.)

At the moment for some reason my targetting's way off so I need to resolve that... My drones make the kills before I can even lock on.

Sorry, I've just clicked on this thread and feel like I'm in another world. If anyone makes a joke about it being a World of Warcraft.... I'll do nothing.

It's where we go to pretend the real world doesn't exist... We're talking about Eve Online... It's a sci-fi game as opposed to World of Warcraft (and Neverwinter Nights) which is a fantasy (Dungeons & Dragons, etc) game.

In a nutshell, yup.

0.0 is the security level. Everyone starts out in high a security area - 0.8 I think, there are rules so it's kinda half-way safe. Repercussions for illegal player killings are harsh. Out in low sec (0.0) There are apparently no rules so people kill each other for fun.

You've got to be good enough to survive.

MIT. Im in Eitu. Funny enough, also 0.5 lol...

Ahhh my Drakes a BattleCruiser, so the next thing for me is to save for a Battleship and get some proper firepower.... Although the next version is due soon and will have some new ships.

Targetting should be easy, you got the right skill?

Im getting back into it, wanting to start learning PvP now too. Got my first kill on a Caracal a few weeks back, but while i was waiting to loose my aggresion statues, I had someone jump in we're at war with in a much bigger ship and cained my ass But still, got my first kill.

kinda reminds me off this

Nowadays the nearest I'm ever gonna get to wasting my life away on a "game" is in trying to complete the endurance races in Gran Turismo. Almost did it in GT2 until someone wiped my memory card ... kinda lost interest after that.

How the hell did they screw up galaxies, I stopped playing it before the 'lightspeed' add on came out.

At the moment I'm a L12 Dwarf, just got a pet wolf, though I was also fooling around with a ork and a undead.

ha ha, yeah as said, its an online Universe. Do you know of an older game called Elite? Fly from place to place, selling stuff, making money.

Its a MUCH bigger basically, as well as trading, you can setup corporations, get members, Player Vs Player fighting (PvP), missions (earn money, fight ships). Its huge. The guys who have just left our corporation have been flying for 2 days (about 300 jumps Ping!!!!) and still haven't got to their new place...

ISK is the money. Like £ or $, just the currency name.
L3 missions, theres L1-L5 agents who you go to to do missions. Higher the level, harder the mission, but the more ISK you get. Agents vary in quality though, so sometimes its financially better to go for a lower level agent who has a higher quality level, so you can earn more.

0.0 is dangerous space. Anything below (and including) 0.4 space you can have a fight with anyone you want. So you have to be on the lookout. 0.5 space and above you cannot just start a fight unless your corporation is at war with the other persons corp. In which case, game on............
