The global nature of EVE is something most overlook. I'm a redneck from southern USA and I've spent hours getting drunk and accomplishing real goals in the middle of the night with a bunch of German and Irish lads. Learning cultures I never would without EVE and forming bonds with these duders that go beyond race or language barriers.

[@CMDR_Verm]

I found your description of Eve as a ''real'' RPG very inspirational. I'm back after a two year absence after trying No Man's Sky and Elite: Dangerous and found they couldn't scratch the itch that Eve gives you. I started in 2004 (Eve was on sale on a disc lol) and stuck with it for many years, learning new stuff all the time. I missed scarcity and the blackout so I suppose I was lucky but when I returned my ships could fetch astronomical prices if I wished to sell them (several of which I did to pad my wallet). The most enjoyable aspect I've found as a hi-sec industrialist is that I can make hundreds of millions of ISK every week using only my alts working Planetary Management. It seems to be the one area CCP haven't nerfed (fingers crossed). If I decide to sell my soul to a nullsec corp I'm free to do it and, with CVA moving back into Providence, I just might. So yes, I'm a 19 year old character who's a carebear nowadays, but the options are still there. Thanks Ashterothi for a great inducement-to-play video.

[@Ashterothi]

Glad I could help :D

[@kelvor85]

I used to play Eve way back in the early days. I haven't played since 2008ish. Your video has sold me on jumping back in again. I've been so burnt out on the stuff that passes for MMOs these days and I'd pretty much forgotten Eve even exists. Thank you for reigniting my interest! Can't wait to dive back in now!

[@TheZynZader95]

Hope it’s still got you hooked!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@64bitAtheist]

I'm a 2005 player, I haven't been around for about 10 years. Just getting back on and trying to figure out where everything is again. 😄

[@jackstone4825]

I remember the days of old, when Eve was the best MMO. Back in 2007 when I had my first toon. I have no idea what this game looks like today, but it took almost 10 years of my life. I do not regret a single SECOND of that time.... Thank you CCP

[@anthonyzullo]

Been playing since 06. From then to about 2012 I played daily. Then I played only a few months a year. But I returned recently and have loved every second of it. The time training payed off as being a newbro now would be terrible. It's better than ever and getting better imo. It could be that I'm no longer in the poor tax bracket and the doors have opened for many many things. Been multiboxing hard-core since 2018 and idk, the game is the best. I think only so if you can plex yourself without stress.

[@markweathers5680]

its still about the mates ..if yours are like mine they have moved on . but when I started back in 2006 ,I did it right and found friends right out of the chute. we played about 2 -3 years and I left due to the great recession . taking the corp/alliance activity on zkill there seems to be a mass falling away from 2011 to 2016. its still eve ....but if you come back you are going to be feeling a bit old/noob , very strange. it really is beautiful

At first I was like 1 hour!? dude wtf! but then I remembered how I go on and on to a friend about EvE and not notice how 2 hours have passed and I still have about 10 hours more to speak about... So in that sense I could say this is quite a nice summary of what the game actually is! Thanx mate 💙

[@antieq]

Really, really good content Ash. As someone who has been playing for 17+ years, I still found this interesting. Here's to the third decade.

[@158henrybond]

learning skills ey?

[@mikabakker1]

Is it fun to play without friends? Since I was young I was drawn to EVE online but seeing how hard/time consuming it is I always thought it was never worth it.

[@xeroeddie]

Awesome video! I played a lot from 2010-13 and have been back for a couple of times but never for very long. I do miss it even though I never was especially good at the game. I would like to get back into the game at some point and I like the idea of going solo and maybe get into smaller fights. I would love to do other stuff too but this is my first priority. What would you suggest to get the best experience for that kind of gameplay? I'm stationed somewhere in high-sec right now, but close to low-sec. I'm pretty skilled up and cashed up so loosing ships shouldn't be too painful. 😀

[@Anlark2701]

I was aaaaalways flirting with Eve but never made the step to join it for various reasons, one being much too much stuff to learn for a "feeled" low action. The older I grow no the more attractive Eve gets and I finally started playing in December now. First thing I thought after 1 week was the same you mentioned in the video "I wish I wouldve started earlier" ^^ So ye totally true video and btw. I love your content

[@Kimentor.]

Becoming an FC, alliance Council member and general spacenerd has literally given me the confidence that is required in my career today. It also gave me lifelong friendships and helped me through some very tough years. I will always love eve and it's always going to be "the game I wish I wanted to play" until I do again. ❤

[@reubenmorris487]

Must be nice. Most people are unwilling to fly with me.

[@putin2012]

About "real life" aspect of EVE. I'm from Russia, so you know...politics and stuff... Recently we had a talk from our corp leadership to share IRL contacts with corpmates that live in nearby cities/regions. "Just in case" as they said, cause its unstable times and who knows what can happen. And I'm sure if I would need to move myself and my family, I would easily find at least a dozen of places where I will find support from the people I play with. Almost no other game gives bonds this strong.

[@Ashterothi]

I am glad you have resources to seek help and comfort in such troubling times

[@timedriverable]

Hi, thanks for the nice video. I tried eve for a few months 6-7 years ago but couldn't get into it back then because the skill exp system didn't fit my playstyle. Today i reloaded the launcher and will give it a try bit later. Might start a new character for the tutorials and stuff because i have absolutely no memory how things worked and what has changed.

[@Ashterothi]

[@The_Vitruvian]

Ash, fan of your content and empyreans. Cheers! The videos that are needed to grow the community and player base are: Bite size (5 min or so) videos covering newb topics like: 1) how to clear the tutorial missions 2) how to set up your HUD screen optimally 3) ship control basics 4). Basic intro to career paths 5 min videos are clippble/ shareable and no one in eve universe is doing them. The things that keep new players from eve aren’t big questions, they’re actually really really small. Like: how do I outfit a ship that shoots? How do I shoot stuff? I know that sounds basic, but that’s what it is. The HUD is incredibly confusing and overwhelming, and little vids to help people along would be a huge help.

[@emeukal7683]

I came back a cpl of weeks ago and did the Tutori. IT Shows most things now. What keeps players out is that while being visually stunnung theres No Direct Control No pew pew.

[@scottmilligan1167]

I like it being described as a hobby more than a typical game. That is so true. Taking breaks is also a great tip. I'll go play a new game, like Cyberpunk 2077 for a month or two, then come back and I've trained a bunch of stuff.

[@MysticalDragon73]

be glad theres a skill cue. I started playing when there wasnt. You trained the skill you were on, set an alarm to switch it or would switch to another skill until I was able to get it to complete when I was home. It was rough.

I played eve for just a few months a couple of years back and stopped because my corp fell apart. But i just came back again last month and its like falling in love all over again. I cant believe this game is still around but god damn am i happy it is. The eve community is truly unique.

I wanted to get back into the game and watched your video first (which is absolutely amazing btw, very honest and useful tips in here, THANK YOU!) but the code is only usable to brandnew accounts and gives 1m skill points.

[@alen7492]

Hi! Im an old solo carebear (2010). Quitted EvE because even half hour of mission grind/day to sustain Omega status was too boring. Now im considering to play Alfa whenever I choose, to build some isk without "monkey on my back". Never being pvp player (im too soft), but i will try to play it with solo frigates. Grinding for Omega is a biggest turn-off for me. Not being able to drive a Golem without it, or play with planets for example. Too many restrictions to be able to enjoy it fully. Ty for the video and reignited desire to play!

what im really facinated about when it comes to this game, is that even i only started getting serious about industry and actually "getting rich" bit over a year ago, it dident take long before i as a lonly industrialist actaully could make an quite noticable impact on the Jita marked. allso there is a huge difference in beginner experince for people that managed to get dragged stright into newbie friendly corp vs people that fly around alone for maby months before they realize what a corp actually are and how importent they are. when i joined the game, took me couple of months atleast before joining a corp, and i wasted alot of time and effort trying to figure out stuff on my own, and it was rather painfull. in comparison my corp not long ago recruited couple of people that was brand new to the game, and we could help them getting most importent skills first right away, getting them going with some better ships, startup funds and boosting their experience from the start, and kinda have them jump over the slow booring start game can be...

[@martynBVT]

Eve is a game of alts. You can easily have 1 or 2 accounts of alpha clone alts you are training for various things, or just having combat alts. then you can pay for omega on an account and make it your main, and focus on the paid skills training and the main things you want to do at the highest level

[@bradb3245]

The ability to use in-game Currency to extend your Omega time is the SOLE reason Eve has kept me for 2 decades. My only complaint with eve is CCP's laser focus on continuing to empower alliances with extra perks others are not allowed to have; the very people who need it least get the most. This skewing promotes a dozen massive blob alliances allowing them to control everything, which I still strongly believe stifles the true potential of the game and has kept them capped for many years.

[@ghoztprotokol7486]

Thx for the SP bro! I just returned from a five year absence. Initially started playing in 2008.

[@tibshortfortib1837]

Great video and overview/introduction! 😀Also real nice editing! 👍

[@Ashterothi]

Thanks! That means a lot!

[@aimiesfeliz]

One thing that keeps me from really getting into the game is how ISK is purchasable for a very low amount of money vs. the hours of in game grinding it requires. It kills any motivation to try to earn ISK in game for me, and it being such a central part of your progress (skills, ships, items, basically everything), it’s kind of demotivating.

[@nervili583]

Its not like other games, you can buy isk, put milliards and lose it all in couple days/hours if you dont know what you are doing.

[@lurswenl.619]

Difference between EVE from other MMO's is, ISK means nothing, You can buy most expensive ship out there, you dock out and you die by Alpha 10+ gank of newbies :D while in other mmorpg you buy best gear and rip everyone in shreds, not here, not in EVE.

[@Aerion22]

Great video! Thank you!

[@Onsdeefke]

I started in 2008 and came back several times. First time I quit I failed on a contract and gave all my stuff away. Woops! Last time I came back I warped into triglavian space in a freighter and even got podded. This time im sure to seek out information on game changing events! Dont feel like getting podded because warp core stabs arent a thing anymore. This game with all its changes is awesome. Still want to walk around in station tough!

[@marakuyovimalesh3793]

nicely done, bro. Never done faction warfare... Haven't decided which one of my alts is best suited for it :P

[@8vI]

TBH that doom and gloom 6 months ago or so got me to log back in. I have been having a lot of fun, I am approaching 30 mil skill points so its really nice being able to do lots of dif content and I have never even gotten into the pvp side of things too much. I think one of the big reasons eve has suffered numbers wise is lack of content updates over the pandemic. The game is the best MMO out there, the sandbox aspect of eve is simply amazing.

[@C4Darkorbit]

you're not wrong, but from the perspective of someone who played for ages and has done most content when it was still fun and made fortunes in ways which are all impossible now the doom and gloom is quite a thing. you cant miss something you didnt experience but it explains why so many ppl left

[@jasonnchuleft894]

So how is the ganker situation nowadays? The last time I played any new corpo was almost immediately ganked to hell and back which drained a lot of new players. There was no way to grow back then because pretty much as soon as you got more than 4 members you were declared war on by multiple other corpos and were thus locked to high sec meaning the corpo couldn't grow. We even tried to organize with other new corpos to get guarded conveys going but they had the same problems and all it did was expand the war fronts and increase the new player drain even further. So after about a year of mostly no progress I just gave up and played something else instead. Sad thing is I really liked the industrial gameplay side of things .. well at least the parts I could access without running into the war wall 😮‍💨

[@DnoFM]

You should become a part of an alliance, even a perfunctory one. It just costs more to declare war. To me those first months, when we were constantly wardeced were the most fun. To lose first ships, to learn how to fly - majestic.

[@TheLunchBreakPainter]

So tempting to jump back in my pod…

[@TheLunchBreakPainter]

Spoiler alert…I have! 😂

[@SelfCheckout]

"It does have a tendency to suck you in" yes... yes it does. I started about a month ago and I cannot stop playing. Mainly doing expo in a heron and some easy ratting, but having so much fun. I have like 2 years worth of skills training though the order is constantly changing with what I want to do. Wish I played this game years ago, it's amazing.

[@SFAutor]

Thank you for this great video. It made me revisit EVE today and I do see a lot of visual improvements that are simply look stunning. One question remains for me, before I start to dive into the game again: How is it set for people that want to play in a MMO and multiplayer universe, but do not wish to get into corporations or groups but want to explore the universe as an independent player and grow within? Does this gameplay make sense with EVE or is the game mainly made for groups and guilds?

[@Sarkubocael]

im asking the same thing

[@KienTran-bc9dr]

You can totally do a LOT of things solo. I have been playing mostly solo for the last 10 years. However many aspects of this game is better with a group. You can make a few friends too !

[@TheDogGhost]

@Ashterothi Nice video, enjoyed it. :) Have question because I'm considering my 3rd approach to EVE: what is the least time consuming career path, looking for sth like ogame style - when you make most of the progress while being offline - that you should only login couple times per day, check progress of staff, start new tasks and get profit. Is it like industry, PI, making blueprints, trading? What would you recommend?

[@PingWhisper]

EVE is time consuming. Maybe industry, but market research takes time.

[@Ashterothi]

I recommend staying alpha so all the time you do play you can do things but you don't have the monkey on your back of a subscription until you are ready.

[@TheDogGhost]

[@JohnDoe-bo5ys]

Great video. There was one thing you said that was "technically" not accurate. You said that as an Alpha, you can only train up to 5 million SP. While it's true that using the training queue, you cap out at 5 million, you can use the daily gift skill point injectors and/or buy injectors and get an Alpha up to 20 million SP. I have both Omega and Alpha accounts and I have 1 Alpha at 20 million while the others are between 10 and 15 million. And YES, that's "useable" skill points. But other than that, very informative video.

[@Ashterothi]

I really try to specify that the passive training is capped at 5m. If I got it wrong here that is honestly surprising. Sorry :( There is ~21m skill points available to Alphas.

[@MysticalDragon73]

I have played 2 different times. Once before they brought the drone regions in that dropped minerals that i had to specialize skills for as a miner to get before that. It tanked the market and I left as I couldnt afford to play. then I got sucked back in when friends decided they wanted to play. then our new corp and members got griefed and ruined the fun as they learned the games. I started buying accounts then ended up with 12. However it became more like work. I have my carrier so that I can move my ships around. I had a rorqual several freighters etc. I did cut them back to 3 accounts with many solid characters on each. However Im still not sure if I would returrn. The thing i have ALWAYS disliked and disagreed with, is that we can be attacked anywhere. If I want to relax in empire running missions, I should be able to do so without worry that ill be attacked. If I want to run cargo in empire I should be able to do so. I dont expect to get rich. However if I want to relax and enjoy the game I should be able to do so. This is where elite dangerous did things right. It is by far the most beautiful game out there. Its an aspect I always enjoyed. Sometimes I would get lost looking at the scenery. I do miss the social aspect of when in a good corporation. sadly it was hard to find.

[@mrnexus8seven949]

Well I started EVE (and continue to play) since January 2004, 19 years ago. It's been an incredible experience and unlike any other game ...

AND in case you didn't already know the games name stands for E veryone V erses E veryone Online. As for re-joining the game, not till I have built a new PC, and I won't be doing that till my post retirement jobs have been done, if it isn't this year it'll probably be next year.

i remember back in 2009 or 2008 when i 1st played Eve and dont have money to plex my account. what i did is i created new account every 7 days and keep transfering my isk to the new account and then i got tired with ratting and mining with my cargo ship, i started begging for isk in Jita. people would sometimes give me 1 isk or 1mil isk and some gave me 3bill isk, all in all i beging income surpass 10billion isk HAHAHa.

[@Ashterothi]

Well played :D

[@xxxslushiexxx4951]

I don’t know if null sec is inherently anymore isk generating then some of highsec. You have incursions where you can make 1 billion plus a day on one account, as for mining it’s obviously not as profitable because almost all the minerals are available every where else. Mission running I hear is pretty profitable but I’ve never don’t it. And I get the idea that yeah once your in a null block it’s safe and whatever but that can be said for joining snuffed out in lowsec or deep water hooligans. I think that it’s all relative. People don’t want to take risk so they stay in highsec or move to a null block. But you have to realize your potential isk generating with the situation and play style you want to do. That’s just my take. Have a great day and fly safe o7

[@Ashterothi]

Highsec can make more isk than nullsec. Coordination with others, expensive equipment, and dangerous conditions all increase the value of an activity.

[@MrStanify]

I care more about the player histories than any game lore tbh. i love the lore that the playerbase makes.

[@SparkysKayaks]

Well I have been playing 18 years now and I still love it 😀 in game name ZOOR

[@dactylpilot4383]

What's the is difference between EVE and Elite Dangerous ?

[@F3ND1MUS]

Still o7 this game for life❤❤❤❤❤

[@kentherp]

Eve Online is free to play, even with Omega. May not suit veterans, but you can still sub without real money. Just costs more than it used to in in-game currency

[@thegamesource]

I've been gone for 10 years but came back a couple days ago. Started a new character because I forgot how to play.

[@Ashterothi]

Welcome back!

[@thegamesource]

@@Ashterothi thanks, I'm on the tranquility server but made the mistake of not starting at jita.

[@Torriotorres]

I had an alpha alt that ended up getting nice pvp action, especially if i needed time to turn on omegas. If you fly t1 frigs its easy to specialize.

[@phil4488]

Hey that's my golem!

[@wizardbrandon3544]

What ship is that? I like the pink lol

[@whatsupdocchemdog5994]

Which is better Eve Online or Star Citizen? Star Citizen looks amazing.

[@Ashterothi]

Well EVE Online is an actual game so....

[@reubenmorris487]

EVE requires many hours of gameplay to be successful while engaged in whatever activity you're attracted to...don't kid anybody or yourself. Either you "get" PvP or you don't. You'll learn really quickly where you stand.

[@Chazie_]

I’m alpha for life and have a great time , I’ve got nearly 15 million sp and take part in all aspects of this amazing free to play game

[@Ashterothi]

\o/ I hear stories like this all the time. Glad I can advocate for you :D

[@CrownHetman]

What ruined that game for me was the ganking. At one point i would get killed everyday and even gatecamped, and podded. Lost a lot of assets, and since i was a casual gamer i could not afford to keep replacing the ships i had. And i was not flying anything crazy either. All that happen in high sec too.

[@brucegarwood2022]

One reason not to comeback is 20 dollars a month, is the game changer for me , there is no way coming back paying 400 dollars a year to play a 20 year old game, you guys are nuts!!!

[@DnoFM]

If 20*12 = 400 for you, you probably shouldn't get into EVE. Excel in space requires better maths. If we are being serious, you can pay for omega some months, even if you don't farm enough for every month.

[@igglywriggly7124]

you sold me on the "sheep chips"

[@shawnstanworth]

How to I join a corp I just started today :) I’m down to play with anyone

[@alinn.4341]

Loved the blackout, but then again, I was living in a C4 at that moment so it was fun.

[@matti550]

Haven't played in years can I restart the tutorial from scratch

[@Ashterothi]

worst case just make a new character, run the tutorial and now you have two accounts :D

[@Jarwin_Wuhnol]

Great video. Thank you 7o

[@Ashterothi]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@BBRAIN1977]

as a person what has trouble with socializing and did join a null sec corp its bloody difficult and scary to join comms or talk with people in corp/alliance. But loving the game for the 12 years i play it .

[@tomz4875]

1st Day back after 2 years of pause. Got ganked twice on gate camp in just 2 hours of playing. EVE is still same EVE I left in 2021
