I have played World of Warcraft for years. In that game I have characters in both factions; one of each class and over 400,000 PVP kills among them. I left because I was bored. The first time I tried EVE, I mined some ore, made some money, bought a good ship, and set out to do stuff. But there didn't seem to be anything to do, and whenever I got into a fight, I died. I got frustrated and left. I played some more WoW, tried Guild Wars, and Elder Scrolls and a couple of others, but EVE had piqued my curiosity and I decided to come back to it. | I have played World of Warcraft for years.

This time I lucked into EVE University and found a group of players dedicated to explaining how the game works. So let's start there: if you have a question ask it. These people are smart and experienced and like most teachers, they love nothing better than to talk. Give them the chance and they will produce the little nitty gritty details that you need to get good at this game. | This time I lucked into EVE University and found a group of players dedicated to explaining how the game works.

In my opinion EVE is difficult, not because anything it requires you to do is inherently hard, but because there are a LOT of different, interacting, things that you need to do well. And, because the game is not organized like most online role playing games. | In my opinion EVE is difficult, not because anything it requires you to do is inherently hard, but because there are a LOT of different, interacting, things that you need to do well.
