You do realise, there are only 2 servers right? The real server, and the test server. Unless they've massivly changed things in the past 2 months I've not been playing.

Great, now I want to play EvE again. Soooo I went and read up on all the new thingies added in since I last gave it a shot a few years ago.

DAMMIT now I really wanna play!

But I am on a dialup at the moment, so I get to stick with daoc! My ADHD game-jumping is foiled at the gate this time! Mwah! ^-^

But it is only a 30m drive to the base and I can download the patch there with my laptop OMG SHUT UP BRAIN!#%

Go download the patch... you know you want to...

And it's very playable on dialup

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

It's tactical. It's kind of like a Homeworld MMORPG (the first one, not the shitty second).

Well, I'm downloading EVE Online now... it will take me 3-4 days without turning off my connection.....

In the meantime I've been looking at Vendetta Online and I feel impressed about it. In fact, I'll try it out. It's supposed to be able to run on a 56k connection and its combat is twitch based...

heh.. there's even a Wiki on it....

I haven't even trained my mining past level 1.

I used to just run agent courier missions, but I'm fucked as far as security status goes now, so I just hang out to train a new skill when it pops up.

EDIT: My Taranis got blown up, and I couldn't afford another one. Now I'm just getting my pirate 'rax set up, but my drone skills suck, so I'm just training so I can stop sucking.

Not to mention, you've always gotta have backup. I practically splooge myself whenever I see a mining barge pop up on my scanner without an escort.

Course, sometimes, there's backup and it's just somewhere else... I started in on a Covetor the other night, and a Ferox warped in to help. Since my Taranis was made of hopes and dreams, I ran like hell.

Destroyers blow for anything but running agent missions. If you plan on doing any PvP, I'd skip them entirely and go for carriers or T2 frigs.

EDIT: Although, that's not entirely true. They're pretty good for swatting frigs as well.
