Skill up on the cheap learning skills - learning itself, instant recall, analytical mind etc. Get them to level 2 at least before going in for the big timesinks like lvl 4+ skills. You'll save time in the long run.

I looked at EVE but it does not make much sense to me jet. Is there somewhere a page that explains a bit how the skill system works and what you can do with it? WHat you need lasers for, etc What skill you need to do what.

I think you get the picture. Would like to have an idea of what I am starting at.

evenom: No don't think I'm gonna get the retail of eve, not sure yet. Unless your gonna pay me back the 1.5 plat i borrowed you in EVE credidts when I start out :p j/k. Haven't played EVE in a while now but I mined myself rich in a probe frigate and used it to fund my other characters. Couple of probes working together and you would be surprised what kind of money you can make in a few hours. Great thing about eve is that you can actualy transfer money from one of your characters to the other even when he is at the other side of the galaxy. Linked vaults is something I really miss in Daoc. Whenver you want to transfer an item or cash you need to drag over some ppl to your vault, log out get your other character there etc etc ... Biggest waste of time in the game.

Oh another tip: While you role your first money making character role one in the other character slots aswell and start training on their skills while you mine. By the time you get enough funds to buy something decent you could already have a nice combat specialised character.

Looks like a nice game to me. But I like medieval MMORPGs more :)

all you guys that are sitting there alone mining up your small cash pile and planning how to fund you rise to power, are missing out on how the game should be played...

Do it corp style. get BP's fast. and if you are going to mine do in in teams... 1 haulers 1-2 gaurds 2-3 miners on arkonite. Mining oomber in a probe is a bit like soloing greens with a 1 dps weapon. Whereas corp style, a good 2-3 hours mining stint can literally yield 30+ million isk.

And Corps are not the only way to go in the game. I am one of the many Freelancers, I have read some of the corperation web sites and they looked more like a realy company than a in game one. A few will even give you a exam to complete, and I know of one person with a PHD in maths and she failed.


Maybe latter on but Corperations are not for me as of yet.

Where did you lot purchase/order the game? I've had a look on amazon.co.uk and it is'nt there. :(

Fah, my local didn't have it in stock. Not that I think I'm going to buy it atm, but I just took a look when I was passing through town ;)
So, so far those that are playing it are enjoying it? No huge corp getting ahead of all the others or anything yet?
Actually, I guess permament loss of ships helps prevent that....

Well... It can't be more boring than DAoC. I've played DAoC for a year now, and I don't see that it has anything else to offer to me. SC'ing effectively ruined the desire to hunt for new and better items. I know that a few drops off the Epic Mobs are a bit better than SC'd drops, but tbh. I don't think it's worth it to consider. Too many people needed to kill the Bosses, so chances of you getting the item you want is slim.

The only thing to do in DAoC for me now is RvR, and that's even more boring. Zergs killed that aspect of the game too. I know that oncein a while you have some good fights, but mostly it's kill/get killed, repeat/rinse. And the downtime you have sitting on the pad waiting for port is about 50% of the playtime when RvRing.

I'm going to play Eve. No matter how tedious it is, it cannot be worse than this. I've had great fun in DAoC, but there's nothing left for me to do, except kill some of the mobs that I haven't killed yet. And that doesn't sound appealing to me. So... Buhbye!

Sorry to hear it Fangri, though this is an RvR game and since you never seem(ed) to enjoy RvR, I'm not surprised you're off.... there's really not a great deal of PvE content.
