They are actually worth $0, because selling EVE assets for real money is against the TOS :colbert:

Yay, new thread!

Q: When I last applied to GoonWaffe, I got as far as trying to list all my other characters, but :effort: and I abandoned the application.

(Its a lot of characters! :negative: )

And I don't remember which character I used.

Do I just start over?

Or follow the Vacationed instructions posted above. Or something else? (Like not reinstalling...)

Were you in Goonwaffe? Send an email with your SA name, goonfleet.com forums name and the first character you want invited to newbies@goonfleet.com.

If you've never had a goonfleet.com forums account (or had one back in goonfleet days but it no longer exists) then send an email to newbies@goonfleet.com indicating it's a new application and listing all of your characters as well as your SA account name.

If you've never been in Goonwaffe but have a goonfleet.com forums account do not try to create a new account. Send an email to newbies@goonfleet.com explaining your predicament.

At what time do I get all testy and demand action after emailing newbies? It's been 24 hours, which seems short, but I dunno, when I was in auth I remember people getting lovely if they were in queue for 20mins so I just want to be behaving as expected.

The standard now is to start bitching BEFORE you send the email, or after you send it to the wrong email address.

Alright I have a friend that's in Ascendance and they talk about it a lot, and I like the thread title, so I want to join this.

Is there a idiots guide to eve that I should read, or is the OP from the old thread and in game tutorial enough? There was also something about a 90 day wait in the joining link.

Your newbies guide should come in the form of joining goonswarm. There is a goonswarm wiki that is open to the public, but its quite old and the info is not up to date. You need access to the goonswarm forums, thats where all the up to date tutorials are posted. You should come out to 0.0 space right away, if you stay in high security you will learn bad habits.

Failing that just post here and people can answer your questions.

I've been following guidance on this page: https://www.thealphasguide.com/. Not sure how legitimate it is, but have based the initial skill training + ship setups off of that.

That guide isn’t terrible for new players, but be aware that it begins and ends in the shallow end of the pool. If you’re more of a “jump into the deep end” type, there’s a lot you can do by going straight to Delve and you won’t miss much by avoiding high security space. But if hisec appeals to you then sure, run some missions and train up some skills! Just be aware that whatever you’re doing in hisec is basically peanuts.

I haven't managed to even apply to any Goon corporations yet, think I'll avoid flying anywhere for now where I'm likely to get blown out of the sky in an instant. :)

That’s anywhere. Nowhere is safe in eve.

Also it’s better to get used to the idea of blowing up because of events outside of your control early, coz it’s gonna happen a lot.

250k skill points sounds a lot, and I'll probably upgrade for at least a month which generates 350 plex, so if anyone wants to pm me a referral link it would be appreciated*

*appreciation subject to change depending on how bad the game is / I am at it

assuming 1800SP/hr (this is with the primary and secondary attributes for a skill at 20), 250k skillpoints is 5d 18h 53m 20s worth of training time.

A man can have either an mmo or a wife. If you start playing anyway the problem will take care of itself.

Yeah, the way I play Eve is to sit logged off 99.9% of the time with the occasional bit in Jabber, then log in when poo poo Gets Real in space. Then again, I'm space affluent enough not to need to grind for ISK all the time, so YMMV.

I'm trying to find that video from Eve where one of the devs is discussing the latency issues and how they compound etc, and how it was hard to find a solution. It's probably from at least 4-5 years ago. Anyone know which one I'm talking about and what it was called, or have the link. Thanks!
