EVE perseveres for as long as WoW has because it unlike any other MMO. Everyone tries to copy WoW and eventually all those games die because the people who like WoW will just play WoW. What I'm saying is if you don't like MMOs then you may well like EVE.
How difficult is it to get together enough in-game cash to buy PLEX?
[QUOTE=pvt.meh;42632665]How difficult is it to get together enough in-game cash to buy PLEX?[/QUOTE] To get it consistently requires you to either be in charge of large scale manufacturing or being very good at manipulating the market. You may also find and destroy some guy randomly to find he's carrying billions of ISK (in game currency) worth of items or maybe even plex itself, which will obviously get you a few months worth.
[QUOTE=pvt.meh;42632665]How difficult is it to get together enough in-game cash to buy PLEX?[/QUOTE] its possible but the price of PLEX is player driven - it represents the value of money. so buying a PLEX will never be too easy because then people would just sell them for more if you spend your first month trying to pay for your second then i guarantee by the end of it you won't want that next 30 days anyway

It's actually not difficult at all, if you go through the right channels. A good nullsec corp (I always recommend Concordiat) can take a brand new player and make him self-sufficient within a few weeks. You'll probably want to pay for your first month, but if you're pretty regular about it then you can afford your subscription moving forward without much fuss. As a brand new player, you can train into a salvage ship within a week or so and make a killing salvaging the NPC wrecks that older players leave behind as they grind combat sites in null-space. I made my first billion ISK in a little under three weeks after joining Concordiat, from nothing but salvaging. (For reference, each salvage site nets you between 10-20m and takes about ten minutes to complete, on average. A PLEX generally runs 500-550 million, and a new player won't be flying anything for PVP that's more expensive than 20m or so for quite some time). That can easily sustain you while you train your skills into bigger and badder shit. It's especially easy if you train into drone skills, because you'll be able to jump into a faction cruiser within a ~8 weeks and run the combat sites yourself, eliminating your reliance on Corpmates to finish sites for you. If you're looking to get into EVE, or if you've been playing for some time without any real direction, look up Concordiat and see about joining. I'm not active right now, but they're my go-to corp. They're active in nullsec PVP ops, with a special focus on showing newer players the ropes.

Got stomped. Tried mining. Still got stomped. Tried mission running. Stomped. Tried PVP, Stahmped. Then the corp I was in got stahmped too. Serves the fuckers right too, learned they were buying isk. Now, one thing that [I]would[/I] get me interested, assuming it'd pay well enough to be self sufficient, is spying on other corps. I'll do that shit all damn day. Fly covert ops ships, be the lynchpin behind a massive ambush, it'd be fucking great. [editline]24th October 2013[/editline] Less shooty shooty, more backy stabby.

[editline]24th October 2013[/editline] You can always make your own way. I made ~250m in a few hours of wandering aimlessly in nullsec in a rookie ship offering to write haikus for donations! :v:

i got a month a while back and didnt like it. i understood it all but it just wasn't my game
[QUOTE=BrainDeath;42633358]yes but brutally murdering spacecraft that undoubtedly don't deserve it is basically the entire purpose of eve anyone playing differently is simply a target[/QUOTE] It is surprisingly fun being a target when you don't give a shit about dying. I made a brand new character named Wandering Poet, hopped in a rookie ship that I named "Unarmed Peace Vessel" and set out to write some sicknasty haikus. Lots of people tried to kill me, and a few people were successful, but I made 250m on a brand new character without spending a single ISK, haha.
As a beginner, nullsec exploration pays off well as long you don't run into a gatecamp
[QUOTE=pvt.meh;42632665]How difficult is it to get together enough in-game cash to buy PLEX?[/QUOTE] If you read up on every scam you can pull in eve, get knowledgeable you could probably easily pay for a PLEX within your first month considering you don't need any ingame skills.
