If you want to start having immediate fun in EVE, I highly recommend tagging along with the guys from CODE. or one of the other affiliated corporations. After the tutorial, you'll be about 2 days from being able to go and start suicide ganking in high-sec. However, you will destroy your standing in high-sec and the NPC cops will chase you and kill you along with other players being able to freely kill you at any time. Most people have alts that they can go do other things with or simply move out of high-sec at some point. Whatever you decide to do, do NOT stay in high-sec, and do NOT PVE. PVE in EVE should only be done to fund PVP, IMO. The PVE content is complete garbage.
edit: I have a trader alt with a lot of ISK, and I'll be happy to help you out.
This is the last thing I would do as a new player. Joining CODE immediately is like deciding you want to be a garbage man at 5 years old; you have no clue what you want yet. Not only that, but CODE and their affiliate have a huge EVE stigma, so if you want to be excluded from pretty much every corporation, alliance and activity outside of high sec ganking, then you don't want to have that as your first corporate history tag.
I would join EVE University, or if you'd rather be more loosely affiliated, then join the Spectre Fleet chat channel and participate in their fleets. If after six months into the game the only thing you can imagine being is a high sec ganker, then by all means join CODE.
They have a huge EVE stigma with high-sec carebears and honorable PVP warriors. Most nullsec and low-sec corps could care less if you have a bunch of miner, freighter, and blinged out mission ship killmails. E-Uni is a pain in the ass. Who really wants to attend lectures and abide by a list of rules that runs a mile long in a video game? Spectre Fleet is actually a good idea to get him into PVP. I forgot all about them. CODE. is a lot of fun, IMO. I have an alt there that, when I get bored of EVE, I can always count on having a good time with.
Dawwwwwwm now I want to fire up EVE again. Black Legion is no more so my home is gone. Where to next I wonder. I might just kit out a dicktor (not a typo) and randomly go and bubble people during engagements. That is always worth a laugh or two even if it invariably ends with a squish.
EVE Online is great for one reason, If you are willing to accept the consequences of your actions you can do pretty much anything you want to. (That works both ways... being done unto is not always as fun as doing unto but hey, so goes EVE)
Stick with it and I'm sure it won't be a bust and you won't be an udder loser...

They have a huge stigma with all Eve's Corps, if you want to join a legit corp, high sec or null sec, then you don't want to have Goons or Code on your employment history, they will just turn you down without a moments hesitation. Eve Uni is still a good idea, but there are numerous other newbie friendly Corps out there, either way i really wouldn't just throw a new player to the wolves right out the gate, that would be too cruel.
I had the same issue - it took me multiple attempts to get into Eve before it finally 'clicked.' Here's what I'd recommend.
1. Do the in-game tutorials. Not only do they teach you stuff, but they'll also give you free ships, which are tremendously helpful when starting out.
2. After you've finished the tutorials, join a corp. I'd personally recommend the Open University for Celestial Hardship (OUCH). They focus on null survival and basic pvp. If you think you'll want to explore other pastimes in Eve without diving into null headfirst, then Eve Uni may be a better choice.
3. Don't be afraid to explode. You WILL lose ships and pods. It's not a loss of isk, it's a chance to learn.
4. Counterpoint to #3: Don't Fly What You Can't Afford to Lose. This is the golden rule of Eve. Abide by it.
5. After you've finished a newbie corp like OUCH or EU, join an active corp. The day to day activities in Eve can by boring - a good, active corp gives you people to chill with until its time for fun stuff.
SCAM!! Where is the tit? PS! I took Eve's virginity when I was just a teenager, and she took mine. Now we have been apart for many years, but I believe the time for our reunion is approaching, at long last
I wish you luck mate! If I had more time I would jump back into Eve. So many cool things to do but it is such a time sucker. You sit down to play and the next thing you know 5 hours have passed, your wife is pissed off and your bladder is about to explode.
Some of the best gaming music has come as a result of that game. I used to listen to Eve Radio at work to get pumped for my next gaming session.

Watch out for those invincible frigates that warp disable you in level 4's. Their mission design is so broken they have to use gimmicks like that.
Sounds like you are referring to Burner missions, and they are setup pretty much the same as player pvp ships, if you don't setup to take them on properly, they will take you out, big time. Its not broken, its not a gimmick, and if your not up to taking them on, you can turn down those missions without losing standing. They are strictly for veteran mission runners who like a challenge.
Somebody should teach an online course on how to play Eve. I think they could make some nice side money.
There are lots of new player friendly Corps, i know a lot of people seem to think the Eve community is toxic, but it really isn't, you can make some good friends in Eve, its very much a niche game, but if flying lots of different types of space ships in a simulated universe sounds like fun, then it has a lot to offer. Eve University by all accounts is a good start.
Discussion / That tit, im doing it. Im just going to get hardcore into EvE. For real this time!"
This just goes to prove if you post "tit" in the title people will come.
Damn right we will. :proud:

I played Wildstar for 10 minutes yesterday before uninstalling. I tried to play ESO but I couldnt even press the damn start button, I just hate all these games man, I cant do it anymore.
EvE is my only hope guys, its all I have left. Im going to load up excel, Ive got like three reems of notebooks im going to start writing down everything I need to know from tutorials and other sites and im going to just play EvE for the rest of my life.
This is happening boys, and your either with me, or against me.
So what is it!?
What will you do differently this time in order to sustain your interest?

None to be found. Moving on.
