you can be competitive and having fun in small gangs in a month or two unless you want to get your learning skills way up first

Off topic: but wow, I tried the trial once for a couple of minutes, love the idea of the game, just didnt really get used to it. But I read some of these posts, it is so confusing if you dont know what they are in game lol. Out of curiosity, how long does it take to catch up to most avg players, like how long it takes to get to 80 with like a 5.2k gs

first of all you can't compare wow levels to eve characters, it doesn't work the same way at all.

eve characters are open ended - in effect it's as if there were no level cap so they just keep on getting better as time goes by - after a while the incremental increase gets less but you're looking at at least several years of play before that starts to happen

the downside of that is that it's _impossible_ to catch up with another player who started before you and this is one of the major problems with eve

this also forces players to join into groups - and as a multiboxer one thing I really dislike is being forced to group

that said it takes about a year to get to be decent at some of the smaller ships but you're looking at three years to get to carriers


p.s. I do mean _years_ it's not a typo, eve is a very slow game with regards to improving characters

Just an update:

Man I LOVE this game - I still wow it up, but this game just gives my inner space nerd so much more than WoW.

My four guys basically took Robin's advice and started down the mining path. They're sitting in retrievers now (well one guy just hauls in his Iteron IV basically - filling up a can every 6-9 minutes is awesome), working their way towards hulks, with the main also headed towards an orca. Joined a mining corp that of course folded about 3 weeks into it, but it's pretty nice just semi-afk mining in .5 space, making a decent amount, while I plan out my mission runners. Definitely used the 1.99 thing to buy 3 new accounts, who are going to be my mission running trio. Am currently running a faction guide I found with them, and will see where that takes me - the goal is to have them all plus 6-8 with every single faction. It looks pretty possible from all the math, and the way it's set up and at my pace, it will just take a year - but it's fun, and it's a goal! What is everyone else up to?

Current in the process of moving my toons from Providence 0.0 space up to the far far north to hang with -Mostly Harmless- and the rest of the Northern Coalition. If you need any standings blitzed, i can assist in Caldari space for a bit, i can blitz level 4s with you in the fleet to get the standings split, and all the loot.

Hit me up on Cirocke, im usually on a bit.

For a mission runner, i would highly recommend Social III or IV, Diplo III or IV, and Connections III at least. This will greatly assist getting you into level4s faster. However, that being said you would still need around meta4 fit or t2 fit (t2 preferred), BC to solo level 4s easily. But then again i have seen people do them in multi-cruisers before, its just a matter of experience at that point.

Ive been boxing in eve now for 6 months. Currently, I have 3 miners, a transporter and 2 mission runners. Is there a corp that other boxers are in? I would love to be in a corp with other boxers.

I think everyone either runs their own corp (like I do so that it's easier to share inventory amongst characters) or has joined a big corp to play with.

I tried to form an alliance of multiboxer corps with Souca a while back but it turns out that alliances are expensive in terms of extra skills and running costs. Still like everything in EVE you learn by trying.

But I'd be up for creating and/or joining a multiboxing corp if anyone is interested? Although there's always the problem of everyone having their own favourite patch of space to play in.

Yopie, what TZ are you in if i might ask. Im in a large alliance. that is part of the northern coalition. I am currently looking for those who would like to come out and do Indy production and mining in 0.0 space, with some PVP (if you would like, with no requirements). Not to mention the Anom/Plex chaining running generates a lot of iskies.

Contact me in game on Cirocke

I have an alliance that I created when our little group left a failed large alliance. We want to keep it small but don't really care what the member corps do (as long as they follow alliance standings lists don't create diplo problems for us out in 0.0 )

If any boxer corps are interested in tacking in with us hit me up in the in-game dual-boxing.com channel, i'll be the "Neo" guy idling in there (now that i know about it).
