retired from WoW and was recommended by my fren to EVE when talking about the upcoming Darkstar One, privateer-like game. So do some reading.
The gameplay seem not bad.. i like the idea of able to hurt other corporation and the cost of dying which is absent in WoW. Give u thrill and suspense.
After reading for few days, i still have some confusion,
1. Can i jump profession easily? Say I start to be a miner so i focus on mining skill, then later on i want to train my gunnery and become fighter, is tat okay?
2. Is joining a corporation rili crucial in further advance ur career and character?
3. U lost the ship if it get destroyed.. i like it. But will it make the game hard coz u lose all ur mods and ship? Coz i die thousand of times in WoW due to PVP.. lol..
4. Wat is the ultimate goal? Is there an ultimate storyline or just get a corp out and be the richesh biggest most influencial corp?
5. So wat you do daily mostly?
6. I read about mission, can we do mission in group or only solo?
7. Is the server stable after so many years?
8. How come Gamespot rate it 6++ score only...?
Hope you don't mind my long list of question..

Thanks.
1) map ur profession early on...its never too late but you will need to spend time to change profession ie.. different skills
2) Its not crucial but its worth every effort to join a player run corp (u start off in npc corp) more advice, equipment, help etc.
3) Losing ships are part of life in eve....be it PvP or PvE...even trading n mining can get u blown up

) I lost many a ships .....
4) Not sure about my own goals... join a player run corp n they have goals as for me i run a 2-man corp mostly PvE .... other bigger corps have bigger ambitions like owning their own systems, etc.. EVE is really open ended.. basically its up to u...hehehe u can be a pirate if u want

5) Me PvE n building ships for sale .... Its up to you basically... i can PvE one day go mining the next go building ships the day after.....n on n on n on... its up to you
6) Missions aka PvE theres lvl1-4 atm 1 being the easiest......lvl5 is there but not open yet

Missions u can do solo or in gang (in gang u share the bounty) try solo n if u cant hack it go to local chat n scream for help

form a gang n waste those rats...
7) Server is stable ... everyday dt at malaysian time 7pm till 8pm .... patches take longer n we are inform early on... though occasional crash... not frequent though
8) Sorry i dont read or surf gamespot.... cause its all about your personal preferences not some game reviewer's idea... maybe he like FPS or RTS....
Additional: take a 14D trial n join kopitiam channel ..... that way u can get more advice... but its a mature game...n a game that needs lots of patience.... btw 14d trial u wont xp EVE at all....wait till u get ur first navy issue battleship

..... that takes longer then 14D

i can go on n on but best u try it out yourself first....as i said before its all about your preferences
BTW did i got booted out of eve n cant get back...any1 got same problem today?
