Catching up on the war got me interested enough to seriously debate re-subbing after almost 9 years of not playing. Hell, I haven't even posted here in around 6 years.

I quit EVE b/c of poo poo happening with my job right when we were moving into Delve. Worked 3rd shift and used to fly with ANZAC. Gave my account to someone in the squad and it looks like my best character was either transferred/sold or whoever had it went gently caress goons as it's in PL now. Email on the account's been changed so I can't recover it, and my guess is going through CCP support would just get it banned.

If I wanted to pick up EVE again and not spend a year waiting for skills to train, what options are there? Looks like "buy PLEX, sell for isk, buy character"?

I'd say mining as a means of money generation is pretty terrible, but if you're mining to feed into your own production line which you go on to sell? Maybe not as efficient, and definitely more time consuming, as just market trading or purchasing all your minerals to produce with but definitely a rewarding experience for people who don't mind that style of game.

I remember rather enjoying my time shooting rocks in a hulk in wherever-the-hell we were before Delve happened, or ratting with a Raven, even when I was too stupid to pay attention to local and got popped.

The little bees thing inspired me to go digging around through my backups for old EVE poo poo, found this



Put in a ticket w/ CCP today to see if they can recover any of my accounts or not. I know I'm not going to get that cap pilot back - I bought it anyway, so nbd - but if I'm lucky maybe my HAC pilot that I'd just trained into covops will still be around and I can train up a bit for exploration.

I ignored Daruna a few pages back but you dudes keep quoting him so I have to read his trash posts anyway, does that mean he wins

in other news, now on day 3 of waiting for CCP to tell me if they're going to be able to give me my account(s) back or not, somewhere in Iceland some poor schmuck is restoring eight-year-old database backups and hating life

You are probably fine, and at the very worst you would just have to leave your corp and be put back into one of the noob corps. Sometimes players in EVE troll corps that mostly hang around in highsec by declaring war against them and shooting them/camping them into stations for a few days.

Anyone have experience w/ how long it takes CCP to respond to account recovery requests?

Sent another email today requesting an update, no response.

I never went to that subreddit.. but I have worked in techsupport for a while and I'm willing to bet the stories you consider lies, can actually be true.

The poo poo you see as tech support is just weird.

-I once had a lady on the phone, I was trying to assist her and needed her to close a window on her screen. When I said "can you please close your window", she got up and started closing the windows around the house. <--- Not a joke

- Back in the days when you needed to put a cd in your pc in order to install the necessary poo poo to go on internet, a guy called and wanted to go online. I asked him if he had installed his software and he said no. When I asked him to put his cd in his cd-rom, I heard this god awful noise in the background. Then the guy said, "This is what happens every time I put the cd in my cd player" I told him he needed to put the cd in his cd-rom from his computer, not his cd player. The guy was all confused and said matter of factly, "I don't own a computer"

- You have no idea how often i got calls about "Broken cup holder" Yeah. Those do happen.

- I often couldn't get idiots to fix their poo poo because they just don't listen and click everywhere. More than once, I asked them to pas sthe phone to a kid I heard in the background, and got the kid to fix whatever they hosed up. Kid listen to instructions and don't try to get ahead.


So don't diss that subreddit too much. you'd be surprised just how much of it might actually be true.

Way way back in the day before Best Buy had the geek squad I worked as a PC tech behind the service counter. We got a call from an older lady whose son bought a her computer and a fancy new sewing/embroidery machine that let you program in stitch patterns into some software running on a PC. She was having problems with the mouse, couldn't get it to click, the pointer was really inaccurate, etc. The son had set the computer up for her but didn't show her how to use it. Long story short, she had put the mouse on the floor and was trying to use it with her foot, next to the pedal for her sewing machine, because she didn't have room on her table.

Awesome! Then I can use T2 fighters. I'm one of those guys who trained a bunch of skills to 5 even tho I never thought I'd use them. For example, I'm pretty sure I have fighter bombers to level 5 even tho I never plan on owning a mothership. Its just fun to have the skill for some reason.

If you have a ton of SP trained into skills you never use, you could always save yourself a few bux from PLEXing isk by extracting and selling the injectors

That wasn't the intention of the phoebe changes at all - they were supposed to prevent people deploying all their heavy poo poo in one part of the map but then being able to near-instantly move it elsewhere to defend their own stuff or stick their oar into fights happening five regions away.

Wormholes can be pretty excellent as well! But I think besides that null does have the best space rocks.

what about huffing gas v. shooting rocks? I'm a scrub but from what I can tell there is a lot more SP involved in getting the most money out of shooting rocks, and if you're going into w space anyway isn't that where the gas is?
