    So, I've just downloaded the trial. I don't know when I'll be along to apply though, internet access is still iffy so I'm going to piss about with the tutorials and things.

    Wow this is intimidating stuff. I've spent the last 4 hours staring at menus and windows and wondering what the hell anything does. It's wonderful.

    Please accept me into Merch Industrial, I'll be heading along to the nearest office just as soon as I can. My in game name is Parkingtigers. I didn't follow any of the character creation guides, I just poked with the menus until I found something that I was happy with. I'm a Gallente that looks the spitting image of Gary Numan, Christ knows how that happened.

    Hey, Aikai was the first MerchI player I saw in game as I was heading to the jumpgate on the first courier mission. I have to admit I got a little excited to see the [ohgod] tag on the display.

    I've been thinking about getting into eve for a while, and when this thread caught my eye I decided to download the trial.

    My character's name is Osoto Otoshi. I am interested in the whole tackling/interceptor side of things, and I thought naming myself after a Judo throw would be amusing, especially as I'm a Caldari Achura. I went with the PvE build to start since it has the electronic warfare skills.

    I pretty much just made my character and set something to train (Electronics IV) before logging off last night as my download didn't finish until late, but I'll probably be on some tonight to get through the tutorial and do the whole application procedure.

    Also, for those of you who are unfamiliar with Osoto Otoshi:

    Downloaded this expecting to hate it, and I found myself actually pretty interested thus far.

    Character name is Mori Azaz. About to submit my application.

    Clearly, that's the point of grappling arts. To put two men into vaguely sexual situations wearing clothing that could be confused for sleepwear.

    (I do Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and whenever I see my dad he asks me if I like having sex with men. I then ask if he'd like me to break his arm.)

    It's kind of depressing that there's still 7 days till I get JDC 5, and then I'm going to have to go train something more useful like Shield Emissions and Capital Shield Emissions to do anything productive for a while.

    That's my major problem too. Since I'm only a few weeks old, give or take, my character doesn't have a lot of skills everyone else takes for granted, like Hull Upgrades 5 and the like.

    Everyone's like "Why aren't you wearing Damage Resistance Gear?" "Um, what?" "Damage... wait, what's your Hull Upgrades?" "I have HU1..." "WTFOMGBBQ"

    Hello, posting to say I am flying over to Mista to apply to join Merch. My ingame name is Shy Gal, I am a caldari flying a kestral, im about halfway through my freetrial, I plan on subscribing but im going to wait till the end of free might as well not waste the opportunity. This is my second time around I played for about a month a year or so ago, but life didn't really give me the time and I kind of lost interest. I am taking a more casual approach this time around, I also play wow so I have something to fall back on during long skill training sessions. I have been an avid penny arcade fan for years and would love to join up with a corp that shares the same interests of fun and conquest :)

    Merch or die!

    That's the wrong attitude. Everyone plays a part in Goonswarm, even if you're just a newb in a frigate with no guns.

    Limed for truth. Most fun I've had was in an out-of-ammo, no-way-to-get-more tackling frigate yesterday.

    I'm gonna warn ya newbies: DON'T TALK ON BIG FLEET OPS. If you say one thing wrong, you could accidentally inflict big damages. This is why I don't play EVE anymore. Awesome game, but any screwups you make hurt. Bad. I still owe Merch some cash for some tiny shit that exploded into blowing up a friendly capital ship because I said the wrong thing at the wrong time. Don't risk screwing up.

    Corp and GFFM should be fine, though. Emphasis on should be.

    We didn't really lose a cap ship. They just yelled at you because it was the second time you did it and the first warning didn't seem to sink in.

    So I haven't actually started yet, and I'm kind of interested, but there's a big question that needs answering first:

    What's with this 6GB minimum HDD requirement? Is this game going to download 6GB worth of data, because my connection can't handle that; well, it probably can, but I'd have to leave it on for a couple days and not be able to do anything else. And the client is apparently 600MB. Is it going to dynamically download stuff after I start playing, or is it just there for show?

    So I downloaded this (was about 800 or so mb), played it for 10 minutes then decided I'd be stupid to keep playing until I actually buy a mouse.

    I'll be back dammit!

    It's not 6GB, that's just the maximum it could get to. Download can be around 500mb up to around 800mb depending. Just fyi, my CCP dir. at the moment is at 2.5gb.

    I'm pretty sure you can, yes. In fact, if your character has enough isk, you can buy a timecode from another player with ISK even with an inactive account, using their website's secure purchase system.

    I had suspicions that Solaris kal'tech was trying to scam me by saying I had to pay for what I'd done, but damn, I didn't expect everything he said was a scam. After he said that to me, I was so pissed at the seriousness of the game that I quit before anyone else could talk to me. It was an effective lie, I must say. I'm actually kinda amazed. Had I known the truth, I think things would have been a bit different.
    I mean, damn, I think I might actually be able to play this again.

      Play this game, seriously. but don't be a jackass like the above fine fellow, you can only really make a mistake like that by being a retard, and if you fall into that category you'd probably be better off playing a less complex game.

      Pretty much.

      Seriously newbies, don't get cocky or you end up like me, hated by your former comrades. Trust me, it happens. This game is incredibly fun if you do it right, but the consequences for mistakes are harsh. EVE is serious business.

      Being only 8 months into the game myself, I can Hardly say, "in my day"

      "Current events" would probably become "My day." Things like:

      "BoB was still alive!"

      "Cyno-Jammers made you invincible!"

      "People thought you couldn't kill Nano-Gangs!"

      "Remote Sensor Damps sucked!

      "RA Was Scary!" (wait... that one won't change)

      "Assault Frigs were useless!"
