Well damn! Did pick up EVE while Steam had it on sale for $5. Had planned on activating it today but wasn't ready. This game is not for the faint of heart. Sure the game has been around forever so there's going to be a lot there, but I have the feeling there was always confusion surrounding this game.
Was surprised to find most of the material that Google returns is dated. Since the game has been out eight years ago there was bound to be a lot of internet sifting to do. Yet it seems like sometime around mid-2009 was when most of the updating fell off. Seems odd since there have been expansions since then.
Did sit through a number of YouTube videos, like this one where the poster covered his first day's experience. Yet he only posted two more videos. Some of the capital ship space battles looked huge and involved yet very slow and non-interactive.
While GameSpot's review wasn't very positive, the first truly negative review I found was from The Escapist. Was very fun to watch and he made a number of excellent points. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea? *lol* Too late!
Unfortunately I didn't find any good guides out there. There's no simple, easy "Hey do these five things your first day" or "This race has good miners" or anything. So I guess I'll just blunder in tomorrow. See what it's all about.
