I wanna give eve another chance but I just got really bored last time I played...

It's more pure luck with the groups, but you can realize if your group is going to split if they begin to talk l33t or random stupid things.

Overall, my PuG (pick up groups) turn out to be ok.

And Buggyloop - regarding that large quote you showed me - thats why you don't join a player corp right away! Stick with the n00b corp and let the nice people there help you until you're recruited to do something you'll like. The corp in that description sounds like crap, and that player was completely forced into it.

Yeah, sorry, I meant, the more you continuously pay. Not literally logged on, but, while your account is active. So, the only way to catch up to that guy who has played since the beginning is for him to stop paying for awhile. How can you ever expect to beat him? Is there a cap somewhere? Or does it even out somehow?

I decided to give the game a try since I was able to sucker a friend into joining me (and company is nice when 90% of the time you're watching the Autopilot warp you around everywhere), but jesus, I don't believe there aren't any missions you can group on. Yeah, you can form a 'gang' but we dont have the same objectives and grouping is really one-sided for agent missions in EVE. That is, unless i'm completely missing something.

Sadly, it's precisely because the carebear community is so large that the old days of UO are all but gone.

Sadly? I'm pretty happy myself. I'm not sure how UO was, but being griefed and ganked isn't something I like spending my time doing when I work most of the time. PvP? PvE.

I know on EVE I playing the 14 day trail. If I had stayed with it I would of been with a good corp that all started playing together and had allies who where pretty powerful (a bunch of the core SFC3 guys who where still around). From what I followed before I quite there was some huge battles that where involving 100's of players at one time. The main allies super power was being over thown. From what I seen of it that it is not that hard to get into a good group. Just have to know what forums to go looking for. www.battleclinic.com has a pretty good eve board set up and I know if you post there asking for help they will direct you to a good location and who to go to. Heck they will even be willing to help you out.

Yeah you prefer raiding the same dungeon 200000x times just to get that Magic Pink Robe of Your Mom.

Is there a 'best race' or 'best profession'/'best initial attribution distribution' in EVE? Sure people might argue that it depends what you want to do, but, for example the "Undead" race in WoW was hands down the best horde race due to its racials, is there some analogous comparison for the races in EVE?

Dude. Don't make fun of the MPROYM. It only drops like twice on the server and then you can never get it again. It's hardcore.
