EvE Questions

[Mosg2]

Depending on what weapon system you use, there *is* a very high skill cap in combat; you have to manage your transversal, range, and speed relative to your target and what may or may not be called secondary or tertiary etc. There is also a high skill cap for choosing targets and when/if to swap. Of course, multiboxing, none of that really matters lol.

Wormhole space is the perfect place for multiboxers as there is no way for a larger corp or alliance to drop on you with overwhelming numbers. Even if you're just multiboxing 5 toons, it may be hard for them to muster twice your number depending on what time it is. If you're running 10 or 20... You're the massive soul-crushing blob

I am kinda unhappy that after reaching some of my goals in wow I am less known now then I was when I was planning to play wow .....

Anyway I have some questions about eve.

This guy "The Wis" has like 100 to 149 accounts and all he does is "mine ice". He makes more then enough to pay for all his game time though from what I understand.

Is the fact that he dosnt pvp much is that the game requires you to ground target?

He says that isboxer will not allow more then 16 accounts per computer Is that true?

Is the lack of pvp by large boxers because there is limited advantage to multiboxing pvp or that they are just not proficient enough with isboxer to set it up right or the game macros are not sufficient or what?

A lot of articals transmute isk to $$ (make $35 an hour attacking something) but the rules seem to say that you cannot sell isk for RL monies, is that true? Is there a ligit way to make RL monies in this game?

Hey Sam,

Long time no see. I'm going to suggest the same thing that I did when you wanted to make the switch to wow.

Start up a single account. EVE is like no other mmo that you've played before. the learning curve puts off a lot of new players. I would recommend playing on 1,2 accounts for at least six months. You can figure out if this game is for you.

This will allow you to identify what aspects of the game you like. From there you can form a plan on what you want to do.

Running a large mining op is straight forward, easy to do but you must know how, where and when to move product.

Example in highsec I can mine with 3 toons and make about 20m an hour. In null sec I can make 120m an hour. Now anyone reading this that looks at my numbers would state "what are you smoking?!" I can or can't make that much etc. It's all about market, where's it going. these are things you pick up and learn as you go. Starting out you will be overwhelmed learning this game.

I give you credit, jumping in with no experience in wow and making it to level cap my hats off to you. To be honest I didn't think it would happen with such a radical change, but you did it. I give you credit where it's do. Looking back with the experience you have now I know you would have made changes.

To be successful in eve it's really critical that you actually try it for a while and learn it before getting in to it. Running large fleets get's attention. Many go out of there way to gank in highsec a fleet of that size. You'll need structure on to setup and configure logistics just right to make it worth wild. All things gained and learned from experience.

Eve is so in-depth with things to do each taking a while to learn. You don't want to waste months of paying for subscriptions to loose it all on a mistakes. They will happen! Better to learn the hardway on an account or 2 only.

Many people can't get in to this game. Even my best friend refuses to play this one with me, and we like all the same games for the most part. It's not for everyone.


Edit: If I saw a dude running x amount accounts and they were three months old all in Battleships. I could kill all of them with a cheap T1 frigate. Your going to want to know why and not have a PVP video of someone handed your ass to you. Just trying to look out for your best interest here. Try it on a small scale, get some experience. Which point you'll be looking good and have the experience to move forward and be a real threat or a money making machine.

Case in Point Sam with myself and boxing Eve.

I recently returned and purchased 3 accounts with isk I had saved up. Got everything configured and started mining. Back in the day when I played years ago there was plenty of isk mining (money) to be had. Now in highsec in the area i'm in its awful. Its so bad I can make more isk with one guy doing pretty much anything else then what I was doing now with 5.

Had I waited a bit to get update myself on the experience of EVE today I would have gone a entirely different direction. Because I burnt most of my Isk on this venture I have a wait a long time to skill in to what I want to do now. In the mean time I have to use what I have now to make it work. Plus I had to move in to Null sec to make up for my mistake which is a logistical nightmare I didn't want with this configuration. But I have to adapt. Only my self to blame.

If you want to give this a real shot, I'm available some evenings on voice chat to help answer your questions. You'll have many new ones each day for a while in this one, trust me.
