As such i havent logged into AO this week. As between RL and trying to workout EVE's skill system i sort of ran out of time. I promise to be back soon, the trial is only 14 days max anyway.
Also just a quick review of what ive been upto:
Its actually not a bad game altho they seem to have heavily copied Microsofts Freelancer game. As per my AO trends i decided i would be a tradeskiller in EVE. (Which may have been a mistake starting out as you need lots of skills trained to truely make money) I then decided i would be a miner which leads me to my first rant, They dont tell you what you can and cant do on the trial account till you try it. In AO its all easy for froobs to work out what they are allowed to use. In eve you have to spend your creds buying items/ skills before finding out you arent actually allowed to use them. so after buying all my mining gear and skills i found out that im not allowed to fly industrial ships (the ones used for carting large amounts of the mined ore back to the stations)
So now im back to running round shooting things. tbh its not a bad game but at the same time its not perfect.
The only really interesting thing imo is the market and the chance for trading. But having played other games like that ive learnt that while fun for the short term its almost immpossible to make a decent living from just trading as there is always 1 person willing to make a 1% profit or even a loss.
Only attraction of the game is the ability to pay for your subscription with ingame money.
Anyway its probably getting time for me to go kick those new camps in Mort etc.
