  • What's it cost after the 3 days?

      Free to play as Alpha clone, to see Alpha clone limitations see here: https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/213020969-Al…

        The free to play component is pretty much a "trial".

        If you want to actually play the game and progress, you'll need omega after a short period.

        • True but unlike a lot of games, it's also possible to pay for your subscription with the in-game currency. Which isn't hard to do once you know what you are doing eg through 'exploration' as an Alpha clone.

    Never played this game before but heard many good reviews on this one. Not sure if I have all times to play game like good old WoW time back then.

    This isn't a game where someone can just play casually every once in a while, is it?

    • +6

      It does have some offline progression so you could do that to some extent, really depends what your goals are in the game though. You really need to plan ahead and create some spreadsheets to track all your progress. People aren't joking when they talk about spreadsheets for this game, there's so many things to keep track of you really need to stay on top of it all to make decent progression. If you can throw in a few thousand hrs you may get somewhere, after 200hrs or so you should have a reasonable ship kitted out. My advice is to find a corporation aimed at helping new players and join up with them and get some guidance from their Discord and whatever spreadsheet templates they have setup.

      Head here to start - https://www.thealphasguide.com/

      • Spread sheets at work, and more spreadsheets at home doesn't sound appealing at all lol.

        • The people that call it spread sheet gaming have never played it.

          • @philmarcracken: Although the sheets are important it's not like you spend all your time looking at them yeah, they're just for planning and tracking things. Nullsec mining while talking rubbish in my corp chat took up most of my time back when I played.

      It kind of is, a huge bottleneck is training, and you have to spend loads of real time not playing the game, and only logging on to adjust the training schedule and to play a bit.

      It's more of a technical investment, in that you need to learn a whole load to play effectively.

  • Keep in mind that there are plenty of toxic people playing this game which make it very difficult for new players, e.g. by so-called "ganking".

    • Stay out of null-sec and you'll be fine.

    I have played this game for over 12 years and have never looked back. It is very addictive and expect to save some money in the long run, when your wife leaves you. Therefore it is a win win situation.

  • Anyone else getting this error:

    An error was encountered while processing your request:

    There was a problem adding this product to your Steam account.

    • +1

      Go to the EVE online game page and click play, this adds it to your account. Then add the DLC.

      • Thank you! It worked.

    • <rant severity="minor" aka="firstworldproblems">

      Just as an aside, there should be a special place in hell for the people responsible for writing useless error messages like this :(

    Just playing that game or mentioning it will ruin your life, that is your wife, or boyfriend, or husband or both (or what ever you prefer beastiality, robots, silicon)has left ya, If not well •_•.

    Anyways.

    I played this game back in 2010, the game was ahh interesting, I thought it was first person like star citizen, or a game people didn't shut up about back then online, freelancer.

    What the state of the game is today no idea, but it was interesting seeing your fragile (nobody cares about discount coupons) freighter carrying peasent ore from asteroids or blown up ships ship.

    Then the huge Dreadnaught some (bleep) spent years showing off near a star port. (some costing more then a pc)

    I had a two week trial code, where some employee was helping peasent's on how to do what and yeah I was a peasent til I left the game.

      What the heck did I just read?

        You read:

        1 what the game will do to you
        2 the cost of playing
        3 and lastly the repcussions long term.

    Drama related stories of the game are more intresting than the game.

    Fascinating insights into humanity. Wish i had time to invest as a flithy casual.

      /r/eve is all you need.

      for those that want to min/max the deal.

      start playing the game before activating the deal.
      save the 3 days omega activation until the last possible moment.

      get acclimated to the gameplay. do the tutorials. all of them.
      then do the career agent missions and first epic arc.
      that is a weeks worth of content up till that point.
      all this time be training towards becoming an exploration pilot.

      once you are getting the hang of the game start exploration to get a good income.
      fly cheap ships at first as you will be moving into dangerous space.

      then once you get the hang of all the above, wait until you have a few days free to maximise play time.
      ACTIVATE OMEGA TIME NOW - use the deal at this point to get a huge boost to exploration for three days.
      train for a cloak and get a decent exploration ship and go make three days worth of income.

      hopefully if you do it right you'll earn enough to buy 30 days Omega time.

        Thanks for the tips!

        A stealth exploration ship sounds fun, might try.

    i did my 7 years already. Have not played in 8 years but when i did i had 4 accounts running simultaneously all backing the other up and working towards a corporation goal in part of an Alliance in a corner of space we called our own…….

    Its probably in the top 3 of the most difficult games to initially get into. The learning Curve is insanely steep. But that said…..for those that haven't played it you are missing out….

    For those that have..you will know and remember that We have seen things things other people wouldn't believe. Titan ships on fire off the shoulder of Null-Sec. We have watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Jita jump Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to log off.
