RETURNING TO EVE? We are currently living in: 1DQ1-A (DELVE) Had stuff in Deklein? Click here to find out how to get your poo poo back! Welcome to EVE Online: Space Opera as performed by Schizophrenics, Con-Artists, and Cult Leaders! What is EVE Online? Variously described as “Spreadsheets in space”, “A worst-in-class PvE experience”, “Sociopaths Online”, and “The game for the Nerds who are to Nerds what Nerds are to Normal People”; EVE Online is a thirteen year old sci-fi sandbox MMO published by vikings from an island that smells, by all accounts, of farts and rotting fish. In spite of having more than earned their forum emote, continues to develop probably the most compelling experiences in gaming. Eve is unique in its single-sharded world. In other MMOs, servers are sharded to help balance load and otherwise scale the game. Eve takes place on a single server (unless you live in China.) Because of this, every mistake you make and every enemy you make are there to haunt you forever. Friendships and rivalries in Eve do not disappear, making things like “politics” and “diplomacy” actually matter. That game takes place in a fully realised sci-fi universe, consisting of thousands of solar systems, interlinked by a web of interstellar jump-gates and divided into three concentric zones:
This cycle of creative-destruction, and the ability to trade game time purchased for real money as an in-game commodity, creates a vibrant and meaningful sense of consequence and value. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kED11aGobUk Why should I play EVE Online? EVE is beautiful, EVE is rewarding, and EVE is deeply social. It’s beautiful: It’s rewarding in the depth and complexity of its mechanics; The breadth of experiences (some intended by the developers, many not) can be overwhelming at times. It’s the only game where War-Leader, Diplomat, Industrial Monopolist, Combat Photographer, Scam Artist, Day Trader, Messianic Cult Figure, Long-Haul trucker, Provocateur, Propagandist, and Spy are roles fully fleshed out and engaged in meaningful competition. Mastery of a role takes curiosity, skill, and dedication. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdfFnTt2UT0 At its core, what really makes EVE is that it is a deeply social experience. Reliable friends and knowledgeable mentors make the most daunting challenges manageable. Jealousy, greed, and bitter rivalries create struggle and competition more meaningful than any game designer can script. The ever evolving tapestry of nebulous trust, rank betrayals, and alliances of convenience is one of the richest histories and mythologies in videogames. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDVEHE10nHc Goonswarm Federation: GoonWaffe What is GoonWaffe? GoonWaffe is our engine of economic, political, and military domination. A baroque construct of weaponized space-socialism intended to give you, the common goon, immediate access to everything that EVE has to offer. Our worker’s paradise is built on the shattered remains of those who would deny Goons a place in New Eden. Over a decade of pubbie tears grease the treads of our war-machine. We have gathered the hard-won lessons of our often incompetent and comical bumbling, and dedicated them to sanding off EVE’s rough edges, mentoring newbees, and making the experiences that set EVE apart as immediate and accessible as possible. Things to do in GoonWaffe

Hi there, I used to play this game, and a part of me died playing it. Join up, and you, too, can lose part of who you are Realtalk: I'm assuming this game is still more fun with some form of goons, than with the various collection of bitter exes or whatever

With goons has been pretty great, excellent fleets and services and people in general. I have no real experience with non-goons other than telling recruiters when I was a week old that if they weren't blue to us, don't even try. Edit: From the other thread boatswain posted:I can't afford one right now [combat probes], but thanks for the tip. What is your in game name, I can throw you probe isk. Definitely made 50m+ scooping abandoned drones with very little effort. Micromancer fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Aug 18, 2018 |

Should I buy an expanded probe launcher before I get to Delve? I'm setting up Jabber and reading through the wiki/forums and holy poo poo is there a lot of things to familiarise myself with.

You should update the OP with the actual information about joining GoonWaffe and unvacationing instead of the stuff about API keys which are not real anymore. https://wiki.goonfleet.com/Joining_GoonWaffe_101 Hexel posted:can alphas do anything yet Yeah alphas are in a much better place they can fly battleships and poo poo. Can confirm GoonWaffe both Good and Cool. Join and exercise your given membership in the privileged caste.

Well they only post to show how they TOTALLY DON'T CARE about this dumb game and it's gay players. So they want to make sure they show as many people as possible that they TOTALLY DON'T CARE at all about it. The old Goonfleet thread was just people asking about vacationing.

I wish I could be in a position to unvacation. That would require quitting though

I have only been in there for a dozen clicks. I found it scary and weird. Is it the trial I must pass before I can tackle for the swarm? The last trail I undertook was recording myself saying a very lame verse not realising that it was a joke trail. I'm a bit gullible me. A touch too trusting. I was once a rich eve man until I transferred 10bn isk in the hope of joining the greater goon.
