How is the activity in the normal EU time zone (for those that work day time)? I basically will never be on at the same time as the US players on weekdays. Kind of busy this week but considering joining next week.
Since I am already spending too much time reading the eve corporation thread I might as well play. :p

I love reading stories about EVE, they are always epic and full of everything that makes a game great, because it's all about player interactions. I don't understand a thing in those battle reports, but keep them coming and please tell your story about your life in EVE.
Feels so good to know TL is making a name in other games, love reading about it.

If you like that read the metagame thread, it'll take you days, but it's really nice.
(I'm stil not done yet myself)

I just have to chime in here for a bit...
If you have any interest to try out EVE whatsoever, the hatchery is the way to go. These guys are amazing. People generally know what they are doing, are helpful as long as you are not being an idiot.
I tried EVE with them, but I found out that EVE is not my kind of game (That, and not enough time on my hands).
So don't be afraid to give it a go!
Cheers

And if you ARE an idiot? What happens then?

I'm an EU player (58m SP character) who's been a bit off and on about EVE the past while, it's not a lot of fun on your own.
If the Hatchery means lots of tears, shenanigans and killmails I might give it a try.
My standings currently favor Caldari, don't know which region you guys are stationed in.
How are the timezones for an EU player? Will I be able to fly with anyone out in low-sec or 0.0 or will I miss most of the action?

Hey Guys  I'm seriously thinking about starting to play again. My skills are pretty rusty, but how can I resist blowing shit up with fellow TL:s? :D
Anyways, I played like a year ago. Me and a friend started playing together and did piracy to get alot of money. Using scans to find high lvl players doing missions, warping to them and then steal all to loot I played for 1 ½ month and earned enough to get a rokh ( I think)..
Think I'm gonna head over to EVE:s page and see if I can look some shit up about my account!

Ok, so i have a few questions?
What is the activity like in the hatchery around GMT evenings?
The second thing is, I am currently still in school, are there certain time requirements which will be given when you need to be on? For example, I don't know when a assignment will pop up that needs to be done for the next day.
Downloading the trial anyway at the moment. 4hrs until completion :@

most people are online around your timezone evenings. as roams and all the stuff happens randomly no one is going to tell you to be online. you show up when you choose to and thats about it.

I am in the middle of installing the trial client, but I have encountered a problem.
Despite selecting another Hard Disk Drive to be the destination of installation, the installer apparently dumps files into my C: drive which is kind of full at the moment. The bigger problem is, however, that this installer already occupied all the remaining space and I can't find those files to remove them from C: to ensure my computer runs smoothly.
Any ideas how to find those files and how to make the installer work purely on another partition?
EDIT: I found the files on C:, but I still need to find a way to prevent it from downloading files into C:.
EDIT 2: nevermind, I got helped by EVE support.

What kind of a time commitment is required to play this game and have fun with TL members?

Is this true in every case? My interests tend to jump a lot. I often feel that I am chasing too many rabbits at once and that playing EVE would just add to the chaos that already runs rampant in my life. I'm not sure I would be online regularly, as I tend to play a game for a week or two and then sporadically show up whenever I feel like it after the initial adrenaline rush. I do however play FPS games quite a bit.
What about the sustained time requirement? Is it better to be online for 8 hours playing with 80% of your capacity and multitasking watching streams and playing EVE or is it better to be online for 2 hours in fullscreen with 110% and no multitasking at all?
How long does it take to get to do nullsec activities and take territory from other groups?
I really want to play this game... I had a trial account in summer 2010 and I played probably three trial accounts end to end in an attempt to make a free first PLEX before I just gave up. I made a new trial account two days ago and flipped 40k pyro for my first mill. Should I just powermine my first PLEX for the next 2-3 months or should I buy a few rifters and join the fleet?
Help me out guys, I'm at an impasse and I need to make a decision soon.

Hi guys ...
I have a problem with EVE Online and don't really know how what to do, perhaps some of you can help me out
The thing is I started playing EVE about 2 years ago, played for 3 months, made some money, lost an Iteron packed with 2bil worth of merchandise, then quit. Half a year after that I started playing again, entered some null sec corp but got some problem in RL so I had to quit.
This summer I started playing again after watching the Alliance Tournament. So, I did my magic on the market, made some good ISK and entered some low sec corp. However I got bored pretty quickly of mission running and after loosing a PLEX (yes, you heard me, I'm the one idiot who transports a PLEX in an Iteron through Jita) and another 400mil shipment somewhere near Amarr I quit again.
The thing is, I love the game, I love internet spaceships but for some reason whenever I start playing it I end up hating it within months. I know I'm doing something wrong.
I'm good with virtual money (unfortunately, I'm awful with real money). I think in total I played about 1 year of EVE with TWO accounts, so that's 24 months total but only bought like 2 PLEXes. However, PLEXes are not cheap. So I have to invest quite a lot of time on the market to end up with that kind of cash. This leads to the fact that I'm quite careful with my ISK, and the fact that I get robbed more often then a liquor store makes me even more careful.
Now I'm thinking of coming back to the world of EVE, however, I ask you, what should I do ? Should I do my thing again to get money for PLEXes or should I just go straight to nullsec and pew-pew-ing (which, btw, I'm horribly at). If I go on the pvp road, how the hell can I make ISK as I'm not that fond of paying subscription ? Is there a way to buy your monthly PLEX by not carebearing ?
As I mentioned above, I suck at pvp-ing .. I lost a T2 fitted geddon to some random jackass in a cruiser. I lost about 6 Iteron's Mark V, all fitted with cloak (I never even got to use the cloak as they killed me before I could decide what to do with my fingers).
Sorry for the wall of text guys, but I really want to get back in if someone can give some clear instructions on what to do and how to enjoy EVE.
P.S. as to my char, I have about 12 mil SP on my main, and ~5mil on a secondary. so you were this guy? http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/08/08/eve-player-destroys-over-1000-worth-of-game-time/ Please, two billion is like three hours work. I myself have had such gems as http://teamliquid.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=9174015 lost (value was nearer 13b with the values at the time).
It's three hours work when you are extremely set up, but to someone who is new or even someone who doesn't do all the crazy high end invention/market/incursion stuff it's an awful lot of isk and a large amount of time.

We live in low and nullsec, so any standing that you have does not matter at all for anything corp/fleet related.
As for tears, ever since we semi-used a spy in a nullsec alliance that is part of the CFC to kill their rorqual they keep stalking our killboard, smacking hard in local and claiming how good they are.
[22:34:25] redmanic > quit your trolling if you didn't nano at all you would drop like flies
I'd say most action is between 20:00 and 02:00 GMT but people also do roams in american timezone. However if you feel like it you can always lead your own roam and if you're good people might actually fly with you too!

I'd say its a mix of those two. If nothing is going down you can always farm money while watching streams etc, but once enough people gathered and start roaming you can join and should focus on it, at least for the first few runs until you get the grasp of pvp.
As for the second question: forever, since we are not intersted in taking territory for various reasons, mainly it being boring and tedious.

Right now because we officially live in lowsec and have no plans to get territory, we can simply alt-tab and watch GSL/whatever Starcraft or football stream we feel like watching whenever we feel like it. We never absolutely have to be online and active at any time to defend ourselves. We are able to choose when we play and how long we play for.
If you think you have an hour free, you may choose to go solo into neighbouring space and try and find a fight, or spend that hour missioning/trading/whatever to make some isk. If you have 2-3 hours free you can go on a roam instead if a few other people are also willing. What I used to do when I was still active was afk in Teamspeak while doing my own work. If anyone in corp was about to do anything interesting they'd speak out on TS and I'd hear about it and be able to choose whether I want to get in on the action as well.

I play just about all variety of games... Marvel vs Capcom, Modern Warfare, Battlefield, Skyrim, (WoW Raid/guild leader) and many other games.
I openly tell anyone that EvE online is the greatest game ever made... and it is. Great community with the team liquid corp, you cant really go wrong here. You need to accept the game has a ridiculously high skill cap, but that just makes it more rewarding when you go up against heavy odds and come out on top.
Join up its good times!

Hey all, I've been thinking about getting into this game over my winter break from school.
Was just wondering, how much time would I have to invest over ~1 month to get moderately well set up?
Thanks, and moar battle reports please!

What is your definition of 'moderately well set up'? Do you mean being able to plex your account each month? If so, then all you need is to have some skills learned (about a month and a half of time needed and you don't need to play at all) to afford this. If you mean being able to pvp adequately in a ship larger than a rifter, it will take about 2 months and we need to be confident in your skills before allowing you to fly a bigger ship in our fleets so we'd prefer if you had come on some fleets by then.
