Heck yea, some good PvP gives you a little rush and maybe a little chubby when it goes right. |

I'm having the same problems as the thread starter, I came to EVE with a preset bunch of ideas of what I would be doing based on previous experiences in other MMOs. In other games I'm used to crafting for my friends, healing in groups and just do a little bit of everything, but here I found that production is mostly about burying your nose in spreadsheets, is very much detached and abstract and I simply don't like it here. PVE (for the most part) has been a solo affair and, to me at least, is just plain boring.
I did find a corporation and through talking with them and people from the help channels I'm slowly starting to realise that this game is about team play and teamwork but on an entirely different level than I'm used to. So I'll stick to the game for a few more months, getting my skills up and hope the game proves me right. But right now it's very much a "pfff, why even bother logging in" bore fest, I must admit. |

EVE is very much what you make of it. Simply put, do whatever strikes you at the moment. Sometimes I'll be sitting out in null, go "F*** this" and run to highsec to partake in some good old Exploration, which is what I do for a "living" in EVE....when I'm able to make it back there.
Will you get bored sometimes? Yes, probably, but it is always possible to find something to do, and if anything else you can sit in a trade hub and BS with people, or go looking for PEWPEW.
As for Corps, most Corps do not like taking in Trial Pilots simply because they have a horrible tendency to go inactive, I found that out the hard way. EVE is very much a people game, if you don't interact with others it can be very very boring. |

Claire I have to say that your comment gives me a very good opportunity to say that eve is not like other mmo's and thats in my oppinion a good thing, though it also involves a lot of numbers. There is nothing wrong with playing like you have in other mmo's and manufacture and play logi (your main healers in eve). Just be aware that you might not be able to make great Isk doing it. After all you you can always make stuff if you happen to have materials laying around I know I do. And if you fancy playing alone there are a number of professions that allow for solo play in eve. Just be aware though that eve is designed for working in groups, and most things are more profitable when working in groups, for examples incursions and whs. That is why to any player that wants a real eve experience find a corp and play the way you want, (hopefully its a corp that doesn't dictate your play style). But if you don't become part of the eve community you mis out on 90-95% of the game. |

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a BAD thing but it is kind of a "culture shock". I'm used to light entertainment, simple fun MMOs to waste half an hour or so of time and that just doesn't seem to translate to EVE (so far) mostly because it doesn't seem to be light entertainment from the get go.
So in my case I need to redefine my goals and intentions and I need to "translate" my needs and wants into what EVE can offer me, and that simply takes some time to figure out but the thing is that in the mean time it's "boring" and then it all depends on how long term one can think to sit it out. I'm fine to accept that I'll have to endure it a little bit in the beginning and take my time because I can see the potential EVE has but I fully understand people who choose not to wait that long. |

Yeah, just play solitaire.
If ya want to hop on and kill belt rats for a lil bit a 1/2 hour is more than enough. If ya plan to grab a ship, enter space and find a fight?...well I guess you can but that would take much longer than a 1/2 hour to explain to you.
