I've been playing Eve Online for about 24 hours now. Not nonstop.
I'm starting to really get into it. It reminds me of Freelancer, except it is what Freelancer should have been.
I'm playing now as a miner - mining ore and selling it to the local economy. I'm working on training up various skills, mostly those that focus in mining, but not yet. I'm working on leveling up three learning skills in a strategy that will decrease the time it takes for my character to learn skills. I'm leveling up Learning, Instant Recall, and Analytical Mind to level 3 for now which should give me a pretty immediate boost in skill learning speed.
I plan to use this time to amass a wealth to put back into a personal purchase of heavy duty mining equipment and I plan to devote my time to mining medium-demand ore to amass a wealth to fund future endevours and perhaps fund a corporation. Plus, if we are going to take Dust 514 by storm, we'll need a nice bank account in the Eve Online universe to springboard it at the get-go.
