These are awesome names, and all appropriate. I do feel kind of bad for that guy, since that is a hell of a lot of money.vansau said:
But really, don't have SUCH a shiny prize....it's so inviting.
So the aim of this game is to be good, but don't be too good or you'll be mugged and left with nothing?
Insurance is only for ships, not modules. Think of it as being able to insure your house, but nothing inside.Danzaivar said:
An unfitted Paladin goes for about 600 million on the market, apparently with the best insurance your payout is only 91 million.
It's things like this that make me interested in EVE online. Everything is much more meaningful than other MMOs. Failing to do something actually means something. It's not just "You Died. Go back and get your shit back.". Instead it's "You died and whoever the hell killed you took whatever left of your shit.". Much harsher while also more exciting at the same time. Nonetheless it's mostly an outsider's interest and I'd probably never invest enough time into it.
That's what I hear. Why do they have to make it sound so cool?Jester00 said:
Yeah, I agree. I am playing Uncharted Waters Online instead because:linwolf said:
A) Uncharted Waters is awesome.
B) You actually have a character that walks around and such.
C) No monthly subscription.
D) You can be a pirate and steal other peoples stuff BUT its also fairly difficult to get used to so there are a couple of areas around the beginners ports that arent PVP areas.
E) As it only went into Open beta last week you dont have SUPER POWERFUL groups waiting for anyone to go into open water to kill them.
F) You choose an allegiance with a country THEN you can join a company too... even if you be a pirate you can still remain loyal to your nation, or just destroy everyone if you wish.
Added Bonus, in going to taverns you can hear NPCs talking about others players recent achievements and it gives warnings of recent pirate activity. Oh and you can chat up bar wenches whilst playing poker, not 100% sure but I dont think EVE has bar wenches and poker.
EDIT: I played EVE on recommendation of another Escapist, my first dislike was that it was very much just a point and click game then I just got bored after... maybe 3 days.
EDIT 2: Also, you are playing AND learning. XD
If it werent for the Uncharted Waters games I wouldnt know any geography at all, I wouldnt be able to tell you where Dover was and I LIVE in England and I have been to Dover.
Insurance does not take modules into account, and is instead a percentage of the hull's value. A Paladin isn't cheap, but it's still less 1/30th of what the total value was. Insurance in this case would have done almost nothing for him.Danzaivar said:
That's actually not true. At all. You can buy game-time codes for real money (legally), and sell those codes for ISK in-game or through the CCP forums (both legally). This is essentially a regulated ISK for Cash market set up by CCP.Tharwen said:
What is the point of the game if you cant go out and use your epic loot? You put all that effort and time building a ship, and then in one swoop all your hard work is gone. Know I get that stuff like this happens in real life, but EVE is a game. Gotta suck all the fun out.
EVE Online joint suicide attacks in safe space: what more proof do you need that we just can't have nice things?
Formula for eve online: level up + buy stuff x dont buy too much stuff to the power of 10
if buy stuff= dont buy too much stuff = bizarro player run corp. people will come after you.
Am I right?

Oh but you can use it. You just don't put all your assets in single ship. Instead you have several decently equipped ones. It also helps if you don't fly alone and have a good corp name to back you up. Plenty of ways to increase your safety level. Just don't treat Eve as your typical post-EQ MMO.bladester1 said:
When you stuff single ship with tons of rare, expensive stuff it's obvious sooner or later someone will be interested in it. And it doesn't suck the fun of it. It's the whole idea of fun in Eve. That's why it's a niche MMO and not WoW.
