Someone seems to have thought "I know, let's add four-dimensional trigonometry, they'll enjoy that!"<br /><br />I'm actually in favour of Eve's huge initial barrier to entry. It's not a game for people who want to mooch along without thinking so a tutorial that pretended it was would just suck people in who would end up hating the game.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-65054768157861747692009-07-29T14:31:58.222+01:002009-07-29T14:31:58.222+01:00Good write up and very accurate.

It's not so much about the day-to-day activities like mining or mission running like, say, WoW is.<br /><br />If EVE could just make itself a little more friendly and easy to get into, it could even huger than it bigger than it is now. I can't help but wonder how many people have tried the trial and left because the tutorials were too dense, for example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
