spend like 10 Euros buying some credits or whatever. Use that money to buy a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of goods from an outpost that sells them cheap, then ship those goods to a nearby outpost where they charge like 2-6x more. Profit. (Get too caught up and invested in that commodity until a much wealthier player comes along and destroys you financially because you over committed. Had fun. Made a profit. Wouldn't recommend.
The ganking. Ooh, the ganking. Ok, so, I've played this game on and off, every couple of years, since I think before Steam was around? Not sure. 20 years? I absolutely love the space, the ships, the mechanics, the free, open market. I have no issues with it's complexity or difficulty curve whatsoever. Been there, done that. I absolutely loathe being unable to poke my nose out from high-sec. I mean, if you're just a regular guy - you don't live, breathe and sweat EVE every waking minute of your life, you will NOT be able to stand up to those who do in this game. Thing is, everything half decent and up, is locked up beyond safe space. High hisk, high reward, right? That's how it ought be, in theory. In practice you get safety - minisculine rewards, or getting blown to pieces by groups of gankers if you just try to step out of hi-sec. It's just no fun getting blown to pieces time and time again by someone who's so maniacal about this game they run multiple accounts, and you have no chance of realistically fighting back. You can try different angle, WH space, other kinds of more exotic spaces, try here, try there, move... but the result will be always the same. You WILL get blown to pieces repeatedly by someone who is willing to invest way more time into this game than you're willing to, and your "high-reward" WILL be for naught, becuse it WILL get blown to pieces. There's just no point - risk is disproportionately high stacked against the reward. It's not balanced. You see, it's always like this when you're able to sell in-game time and items for real world money. The "career" players come. They treat it as a job, in low income countries. They "work" in Eve Online (and other MMO's where you can sell items fron IRW). Untill developers level the playing field, curtail in-game items trade, and root out "players" who treat it like job, fanatics, and give the regular player a chance, the numbers will dwindle. It's a great game, with some absolutely abhorrent human beings in it.

This game is SO good. You'll never ever see anything like this in another game. It's a total open world sandbox where every action you take as a player shapes this world. some people call it job sim or spreadsheet simulator, but that's only one part of the game. You can just go around blowing ♥♥♥♥ up if you want. You can fight pirates and rogue AI and robots, not just other players. A lot of people think that eve is either a spreadsheet sim or a sweaty PvP no life game, but that simply isn't true. New eden has a place for anyone and everyone. I've also heard people complain that this game is toxic and difficult for new players to learn. There are COUNTLESS youtube videos and such for anything and everything in this game. And if you still have questions, and are looking for an active and friendly community, Look for the EVE University corporation in game. they're entire thing is teaching new and returning players the ropes and are some of the most friendly people you'll meet in new eden. Eve isn't for everyone, and new players are definitely fighting a bit of an uphill battle, but to me that's what makes this game so fun. I get to find ways to do things that I "shouldn't" be able to do, or that other players can do better, and say screw it, imma do it anyway. While scams for new players are true, Eve's entire atmosphere is that unless RMT is involved, it's legal. You treat it like you treat real life: If something seems too good to be true, 9/10 times it is. My BEST piece of advice to any and all new players is this: Don't be afraid to watch youtube videos for help, join EVE University if you're confused still, (they even have a discord server where they offer FREE LIVE classes), and most importantly, if the game still isn't for you, that's okay! (You're also welcome to ask me for help, just add Orion Sharp as a contact and send me an EVEmail. I'm Orion sharp, 2iC of New Eden Crime.Net, signing off.
bad interface

lol
This is obviously a very complex and deep game which might well be fun but the "tutorials" don't really help to give a sense of what's actually going on. There are so many menus and buttons on the screen that it can be difficult to understand what you're supposed to be focussing on. I've been left wondering what I'm doing and how this will help me to play the game.
Хлопці подумайте про життя!!! В цій грі немає часу. Вона потребує 30/7 годин часу.
been palying since 2010 or so.. off and on. but really great for any style of space game u want. pvp is hard if u dont do ur homework.
Multiboxers ruin the game. Not enough group PVE group content.
