Don't let the bad reviews steer you away, it says this is F2P, but is an MMO like WOW, there is a subscription, however unlike MOST games this one you can EARN IN GAME FOR FREE.


Exploration, as of this time now, is worth an average of 100 mil isk an hour ish, in null sec. 40 hours of that (thats the low end, not including RNG of much much better loot which can and does happen, AND not the best loadout, so you can get more doing riskier stuff, but this is safe, cheap (less than 100 mil isk for the fitting) and you could easily cut that time in half in nul sec easy, for a full month of game time.

There is SO much you can do and many ways you can do it. You could even just love doing station trading or mining, or JUST manufacturing, never leaving stations much, or mine for mats, or buy them, trade them station to station to use them to build ships to use or sell. DO planetary interaction for passive incomes.

Create store fronts, shipping services and buy backs at a discount and sell for profit or, join large alliances and be safer than in high sec, trust me. Get out of Jita/high sec, try other stuff.

Think of the ships as tickets, expendable things and dont be too attached, if you have only 5 bil isk, do not buy 3 bil isk ships to fly, buy a 100mil , make a few hindred mil a day easy, get up to 15 bil, buy a 1bil fit ship, starting making 400mil an hour etc etc. Many larger alliances offer ship replacement even on high value stuff.

There is a lot of pve content as well as pvp. This game is very unique and there is a reason it's academically studied both politically and economically.

EDIT: since I got a dev reply lol, Don't get me wrong, you do a lot of things wrong and the game has dwindled significantly and have plenty of poor choices on it, I just want more to play, and many get the wrong idea, which doesn't help yhour player count. Also I am not new, just this steam account never had a toon on it. Just used it for some plex from steam wallet lmfao.


Tbh, there are a lot of things not making me wanna stick around again, having played back in 2006 VERY breifly, but was WAY too daunting back then, so just didn't do anything, like 900k skill points lmfao. Came back in 2010 ish, played for a bit off and on, then left again, it was still unique, but eh, hard to explain. And then again now. BUt you know what, this game has cycles and tbh that's all you should invest in it. play a little now, stop. maybe come back in some years, because it is a unique game, but a lot of it just sucks too. And the fact their changes keep making it worse doesn't help. BUT don't be discouraged by some aspects of it. Over all it's a decent game. But punishing, although not really rewarding at all tbh.
