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.
