What's It Like Returning To EVE Online After A Decade!

I came back recently and evidently there is a whole line of mining ships now. I looked like a fool in my little destroyer ready to jet can mine

i wanna play a game not an obligation. My brother in christ YOU installed EvE

Well, I am done, gave all accounts away a decade ago, lol. So I finally WON the game!

Returned from iceland today, saw this video and getting so nostlagic... Just downloading it :)

Finally somebody playing the game from the beginning as Amarr, my favorite faction back when I played EVE about 8 years ago. Don't see a lot of players doing that - almost everyone starts as Caldari. A Thumbs up for that alone. Would also be interested in a follow up video or maybe even a series of videos to see how you manage the EVE life nowaday. I might even consider starting new as an alpha again.

Great video, I played back in 2005 - 2009, then rejoined with a new character 2 years ago, took a year off (new little family member had just joined the house) and got back in fairly recently. I will say, the daily challenges are not shoved in your face at all like other f2p games, you actually have to purposefully look for them, and as someone who plays just a bit, the rewards are paltry. I don't even pay attention to it. Once every week or two I check my rewards page and see if I just passively did some tasks and claim the free money which pays for some ammo basically. The expert systems I never paid attention to because I kinda already knew where I was going to spend my SP, but good points as a new account. I don't even know if you can get expert systems on the market or in game, I don't think so.... if you can then I have no problem, if you can't then this is a decent grievance and a critique I will share. Glad you returned. Hope you stay, I'm really enjoying my return! Did some trading for a bit to stockpile a bunch of isk, did some solo stealth bomber hits in null, and now joined up in FW. Lots to do, just don't join the Galmil and I won't have to kill you :)

I'm new to Eve. 6 weeks in, still alpha. You're giving me a lot of insight.

I don't think I have ever completed the daily air goal once since it got added, the mix of things you need to do to get the 10k SP is too in the way for what I like to do. So I just ignore it, it is however 3.4mil worth of SP a year if you did manage to do it every day. So it is a big thing for newer players.

I just got back into it too after a decade or so away...my once powerful Abbadon/Abaggadon (?) is now like a flying museum piece. I wouldn't even think of getting into a PVP battle with it now!

I started playing last autumn and I swear I had no idea about the dailys until today. Haven't cared about them so far don't think ill start careing about them now.

Welcome back from your extended break capsuleer. Many things have changed. I came back last year after 8 year break.

it's still the best mmo

10:23 With the Equinox Expansion they are moving to a quasi monthly reward track. That is fueled by daily goals but from my understanding you don't need to do the dailies every day to get the bigger monthly rewards. This is also ment to replace daily login rewards so we'll have to see how it plays out.

Those daily login challenges are not something that focus should be put on. Many of them seem like they can be completed just through the course of 'daily life' depending on how you play the game. I stopped playing about two years ago after playing since '09, but I never really paid too much attention to the login bonuses. I can't remember if the challenges were even implemented at that point. But, my point with this is that I never felt like I was at a disadvantage, or missing out by not acquiring these 'gifts'. Maybe that's because I come from a time preceding any sort of assistance, though. I had grown used to waiting long periods of time for skills, many of the higher tier ones take upwards of 1.5 mil SP, where 10k just doesn't make that much of a difference. For newer players I can see the value, but I would still not focus too heavily on going out of your way to do them. The only things outside of 'null life' - (Winterco!) - I focused on were the timed events, because those were where the good stuff was usually found. Lately I have been thinking about coming back and giving it another go, I had some amazing times over the years with some really cool people.

Its not really an obligation, I keep missing weeks or days of eve play and dont feel the fomo, maybe for new players it can be but it doesnt affect me and certainly many others. I even forget at times this daily reward thing exists until I get a notifcation.

i am in the same boat, about a month ago i hopped back into eve and was amazed at the changes

Stopped playing in 2014, came back in 2023 Still around though playing in bursts.

The daily quest "obligation" really puts me off, too. There is nothing more effective at making a game feel like a job.

Welcome back

welcome back!
