Eve Incarna - Should I bother?

Scougar · 17 Oct 2011 at 19:48

OK so it's dead cheap today on Steam, with 30 days on the account. I have an old account, but I don't think I can use it with the steam version?

Is the game worth playing? I haven't played it since it first came out, and I enjoyed it, but it takes forever to do anything (as in 4 hours minimum play per session IMO).

Is it worth getting this from the deal, or do I need to buy extra DLC or something?

if you have an old acount you probably got an email saying activate for 30 days at the cost of £4.99

You can use any account on Steam, but the 30 days with a new copy only works on a brand new account, you can't top up your existing account with it.

Yes, I did get that email. Is there any benefit to gettin the steam version. I mean my char is so old now, it might not be worth it to keep? (Tell me I'm wrong lol).

It'll still be better than starting from scratch I think, assuming you played for more than a month or so.

they gave you the ability to change your charisma , perception etc again and you can remake how your character looks for free since they changed all of that aswell.

learning skills got removed so any skill points you had in learning skills can instantly be applied to whatever skills you like etc

dont do a fresh start theres no benefit, they remade all the tutorials and you can select to do them again if you want to relearn the game aswell

Still massive amount of EU Eve players.

arc@css · 17 Oct 2011 at 21:47

I bought this in one of the Steam sales on the strength of having already played one of the free monthly trials. I still haven't fired it up but do intend to, eventually.

lol, I'm actually looking around, so possibly :cool:

(Also equals highly unlikely given it's a completely different skill set to mine

)

Downloading now. I'm sure it'll cost me more in downloading than it will to have bought a hardcopy lol.

Well... got my character back, and got a load of skill points. Three ships (150,000 / 3,500,000 / 6,800,000) and 9,000,000 in the bank. Not very much really but guess it's a start. Have absolutely no idea what I'm doing once again lol.

It does look pretty, but I haven't taken a ship outside yet lol.
