Hello all,

Maybe you guys get alot of these posts but imma nub here tongue.gif

anyways, eve online seems very interesting to me. However due to a busy work schedule I can only be a casual player should i decide to join this game. Naturally the next question is, how casual friendly is this game?

Also, are there many malaysians in this game? After playing WoW for 3 yrs with about 200 asians, i realized that a guild with ppl from my timezone is preferable.

I hope to hear from some experienced EVE gamers before i commit myself. Thanks in advance

Welcome aboard to the most complex MMO ever smile.gif EVE offers an open-ended gameplay, be it for a casual player or an addict. Not sure how you're gonna enjoy it after playing WoW for 3yrs, but i'll never touch that game with a 20 foot pole *grins*

As to how many Malaysians is playing it, not many to be quite frank...and don't get me wrong. There's a beauty behind playing a superb game like EVE without the majority players coming from Asia itself due to the general mentality we have within our gaming culture. And err...sadly we don't just go by the hundreads of people in a Corporation (or rather guild), it shoots up to thousands.

Hope ya enjoy the game as much as i do, and we'll soon cross path one day, in the vast space of New Eden smile.gif

Yes I can appreciate that its 2 entirely different genres. biggrin.gif

But I started WoW because of the lore. Caught my imagination. But that was 3 yrs ago and I was young and... well.. just young. tongue.gif

So now im looking for something immersive. But thank you very much for the advice and thanks Shaff for the video. (btw the movie pretty much sold me.. im gonna try eve sometime this week)

You know what.. the fact that you guys who have been playing for a while are disagreeing on a basic principle of any game (whether you need to be online to earn) seems to suggest the depth of this game.

Ok i'm sold.

As for hack and slash, uh.... my original idea of an online game in a fantasy setting would be a bartender or something like that. I'm not a really combat orientated person. I prefer stealing, lying, cheating... you know the stuff i do for my job in real life tongue.gif

EDIT : Ok guys i've decided to call it a day and go home and start d/l the programme. Is there a faster way to acquire the client? I'd rather be d/l pron tongue.gif

One of my mate told me how good Eve is as a MMO and I eager to give it a try as one of the reason EVE still live is that the gameplay is so different from those whack-and-level conventional MMORPG.

But I got a few questions on this game I would like to have the feedback from the players itself rather than scanning through the entire website (and also lazy tongue.gif)

1. Is this game designed for casual player ?? I'm a working adult so cant expect me to sit all day long to play this game.

2. If answer is yes for Q1, then would the impact is great to those who play the game in hardcore mode and casual mode ??

3. Anything else that I need to know ??

Thank you and feel free to bash me with info biggrin.gif

Well as a fellow working adult I can safely say that Eve is somewhat casual friendly. But as with any game, the more time you spend in game the faster you can achieve what you want.

Also, as Dan T mentioned, I am also 1 of the noobies who just started Eve and I can say that its highly entertaining. Perfect for my time schedule. Log on whenever I can jsut to change skills. Or if I have some extra time, run a few missions, mine a few asteroids, disturb ALL the veteran players that sort of thing... its fun tongue.gif

Apart from that, take the 14 day trial and then see for yourself and then make your own judgements. But as a warning, be prepared to spend the 1st 4 days totally utterly confused. It will be best to find a person you can trust to run you through the game.

Eh? Not cheap? normal la. Like any pay to play online game the price is about 50+ ringgit. RO also about RM40 a month.

This is about RM55 so its quite normal. But I understand if we all not rich like Shaff and Dan T. I also poor man compared to them.

Ah.. after running a few rats killing mission, bought myself Tristan, a Gallente frigate class ship. Hopefully I can put it into good use tonight biggrin.gif Drone RAWWRRR

Btw, what is the ammunition for hybrid laser module ?? Cant seems to find any suitable for it.

Ok, before i continue, i know i only picked eve up recently so my information may not be accurate but im trying to save the old birds some headache as my handsomeness has resulted in an abundance of new players.

Anyways, you can use any SMALL ammo designed for hybrid weapons. Currently i use antimatter rounds almost exclusively.

Bah... I hate all these Caldy fanboy tongue.gif

Hi tourniquet, I just started this game about 2 weeks ago and I'm a Gallente as well. Like you, I'm a mission runner as well and I shared the pain that you are under going right now. I gotta admit Caldy still the king in PvE, but with proper skill and equipment Gallen will be alright by themselves in PvE. Hop over to kopitiam channel then we can talk more. My IGN is 5ouLBuRneR.

Last night, I finally just blowed my first cruiser rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

HAHAH!!!! your 1st cruiser. I'm so proud of you. Welcome to the club man. I lost my 1st cruiser and got Podded. BWHAHAHAHA

How did you lose yours?
