    explain something to me:
    why do people buy timecodes for EVE when it's more expensive than just paying CCP directly? I mean, unless you're buying them using isk.

    GTCs(game time cards) are 60 days

    Yeah, but they cost $35. If you just sub for 30 days directly through CCP it's $15. So you're paying $5 extra for..what?

    when I eventually install this game what should I train first

    also is there any practical penalty for not joining the guild since I will inevitably quit this game anyway?

    Having a giant fuckin ship

    Killin mans without waiting 2 minutes for turrets to come online

    Not having to wait a month plus for learning skills to be done before I can start on battleships

    Being able to make money worth a damn without multi-account shenanigans

    Something like that

    Lag they're "working on". The other option is to just putz around doing your own thing and not do the giant space battles -- no lag there.

    Learning skills are gone -- everyone gets close to the max learning rate now, but battleships still take several months to get into (if you want good skills). There are some good ships which take less time to get into, but I'm not sure exactly how long at the moment.

    You can make (iirc) ~30 M Isk/h single-boxing sanctums in a battlecruiser (Drake). You can also make pretty decent money doing PI. It takes 2 weeks of training, but then you can make 15-20 mil/day for 15 minutes of work. Of course you can always make more money with more accounts.

    Ah, so PI isn't actually a time-intensive activity that can be an alternative to, say, mining etc? I liked the idea of having one more option to invest time into, that wouldn't put me in the direct line of fire.

    NPC 0.0 is safe in that you will always be able to dock at the station. On the other hand, getting your stuff out of the station may be difficult.

    Even in conquerable 0.0 you usually have a couple of days notice to get your stuff out if things are going pear shaped.

    Just liquidate or move your valuable assets before you unsub, or they might be inaccessible when you resub.

    Unless Goonfleet forgets to pay the bills again.

    Because a lot of people buy timecards to sell for ISK. If you get a decent amount of income you can pay for your game time by buying timecards.

    0.0 can be cool but it isn't terribly engaging. To most new-comers it probably seems to be dominated more by pilot numbers than any sort of skill based mechanic.

    I can understand why most people playing the game aren't interested in it and don't want that space anyway (as evidenced by the fact that they never actually went into that space and probably never will.)

    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
