Ok...wow.

https://kotaku.com/how-eve-players-pulled-off-the-biggest-betrayal-in-its-1806168400

Haven't logged on in probably a month and everything in Circle of Two just collapses. Interesting.

Been pondering leaving the game for a while now, and I think this is the final straw. It's been feeling more like work than fun for a while and I just don't want to deal with moving. And there is no way I'm joining the goonswarm.

So...I guess I'll just say goodbye to Eve. I had fun, at least.

I do have a bit of plex lying around...anyone in Bay12 still playing as an Alpha? Might as well give it to someone who'll appreciate it.

[Madman198237]

Oh yes, yes please, oh yes yes yes please.

Oh  please oh please oh please, oh please, oh please.


---I have access to EvE today and tomorrow, finally. I might be on periodically after that, but I'm not sure if my laptop will be able to handle it without going nuclear on the graphics card...

[forsaken1111]

How much PLEX are we talking? I would appreciate some as my omega is about to expire and I have no way to renew.

[Mephansteras]

I'll have to look when I get on tonight. I know I have enough for 1 month of Omega, I think. Might have enough for 2, in which case I can split it between you two. We'll see.

[forsaken1111]

If not enough for two go ahead and give to Madman, no worries.

[Madman198237]

Hey, thanks man.

I just haven't had any luck with corporations or alliances so far, haven't got in a good one, haven't had any sort of steady income (Kept losing corporations to expected/unexpected leadership hiatus and attempted wormhole evictions), that sort of thing.

[Mephansteras]

If you enjoy manufacturing, I found selling basic stuff in Arnon to be a good way to make steady isk in the early game. Destroyers, especially, since those sometimes would sell at a brisk pace for a 100% profit.  It's also pretty close to Dodixie for selling more advanced stuff.

Or, at least this all held true about a year ago. I imagine it is still pretty reliable.

[Antioch]

I think some of the best early game income is Faction Warfare.

Just fit a cheap frigate or destroyer with close range weapons, go to an empty system in FW lowsec. And farm those faction warfare complexes.

When someone comes into the system keep refreshing D-scan. If they come near just warp to your safepoint.

Oh you were in Co2 ?

Yeah, it seems really shitty for the Co2 members. Even more sad is that those who were around just after it happened got crushed by Goons just when they undocked, as they stationed a fleet there ....

I don't think any Co2 member will join Goons, but many other corps, especially "elite"-oriented groups, welcome the line-members, if you want to try one last time

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, I was in Co2.

It's not so much the breakdown of everything that is the issue. It's more that I was getting tired of eve and it was feeling like work. And the idea of trying to move my massive manufacturing set-up to some other region with hostile fleets everywhere and then get it up and going again sounds like the exact opposite of fun. So this is a good sign that I should just be done with Eve.

[Mephansteras]

Ok, looks like I have 1053 plex in my account. So that's enough for both of you to get a month of Omega each.

I also have about 3.5 billion isk I'm willing to divvy up between any bay 12 people who'd like some.

[Madman198237]

I can't really thank you enough, Meph.

But, uh, holy crap. That heist was both amazingly well-done and a pretty horrible thing to do to people to get even with the alliance's leader.

[QuakeIV]

I'd kinda like some isk, I am Slater Krividus ingame.

e: If you have any amarr boats, I am training for that and wouldn't mind extracting them from lowsec asset safety as needed.

[Madman198237]

Meph, I'll be on EvE in about 45 minutes, I think.

My IGN is Beor Hador, I'll try to start a convo with you if you're online. What's your IGN?

[etgfrog]

Yeah, I was in Co2.

So this is a good sign that I should just be done with Eve.

Just recently Test bought the keepstar at a higher price then what The Judge sold it to goonswarm, probably to try to help any of the remaining co2 people get their assets out if they don't want to do asset safety.
