What was it in the review that made you wan...@Short<br />What was it in the review that made you want to play EVE?<br /><br />@Taurean,<br />That is such fail on CCPs part (the screwing over a new player who paid extra $$). I guess this gives me hope for micros-transactions though... thanks for paying $100 for a new +7 implant... now start petitioning a GM to get it.<br /><br />@FNG<br />This goes to show how a valuable a good first impression is. You had a good one and continue to play and add to the game. Others get a terrible impression, and quit .. EVE looses .. WOW gains.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12266160412251006850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967533318309432575.post-86212612416469448852011-02-23T12:43:34.200-08:002011-02-23T12:43:34.200-08:00I got into the game because of this review :PI got into the game because of this review :PShorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609126563429912532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967533318309432575.post-43337441300046166242011-02-23T11:52:15.357-08:002011-02-23T11:52:15.357-08:00I, for one, am actually quite happy with the learn...I, for one, am actually quite happy with the learning curve. I don't want to play an easy game. Chess is a lot more exciting than checkers as it were. The learning curve generally guarantees that the people I meet in game are at least marginally intelligent...or just really stubborn, one of the two. As to EVE's New Player Friendliness on the part of CCP, I was actually sent a convo by a GM on my first day of playing the game. They just wanted to see how I was doing. They asked if I had any questions, which I didn't really since I was still making my way through the tutorials which were generally doing just fine teaching me, and asked if there was anything I was particularly enjoying or not enjoying about the game. I understand that this doesn't happen to everyone, but it really stood out to me as something that showed the people running the game cared about it. I've got to say, since EVE is the only MMO I've ever played past a trial, that the hour long conversation I had with the GM probably secured them a long time paying customer. Come to think of it, I should look them up and send an EVE-mail as thanks.FNGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728186789797445881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967533318309432575.post-54549203629153742772011-02-23T11:35:22.849-08:002011-02-23T11:35:22.849-08:00Actually, I got into Eve through the Commissioned ...Actually, I got into Eve through the Commissioned Officer boxed set. I put in the fancy implant that I had paid for, wandered into the wrong area, and got podded. It almost a week for my petition to be answered, and there was no refund of the lost skill points.<br /><br />I nearly quit over that.<br /><br />While Eve is a better game than WoW, it's customer service is much, much worse. That's a real turn off.Taurean Eltaninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358324742585461540noreply@blogger.com
