Have you tried just sitting her down in front of the game with a new character? That's what my boyfriend did with me - he started a human warlock on his account and let me play for a couple of hours. Most of the girls I've met in game have played casters or healers as their first character, so I'd recommend a priest, mage or warlock.

It'd be pointless trying I'm afraid. It's a nice idea, but she's completely against computer games

I created a trial account on US servers a few days ago (it wouldn't let me make an EU account at the time) and there are a fair number of players there even on my reportedly low populated server. Been grinding the way up to level 20 so far and getting to know the game world and stuff. Seems fun enough but I still don't see why millions of people flocked towards it.

The Community makes for 90% of my enjoyment of the game tbh, it wouldnt be half as fun if I wasnt in a guild with a great bunch of people.

Hmm I've thought of the solution.

Vixen......

...will you go out with me?! I've got lots to offer. A Shadowpriest, mage, paladin, warrior, shaman, rogue (he's only lvl 60 but true love wouldn't care?!)..all fully equipped!

I tried WoW free trial, I did not know were to start though, so confusing, just walking about not knowing what to do :confused:

I tried that, I also found that confusing and hard to expand. I joined the 14 day free trial like summer last year, you think my acount will still be there?

It guides you quite well at the start, but you need to get into the habit of reading the beginner's tips and also read the quest logs carefully as there's a lot to learn if you've not played an MMO before. Early on it never sends you very far from the quest giver until you're ready to venture far afield. You'll normally get a quest to deliver a package or something to an NPC in the next zone.

I tried the trial but got totaly confused...whats the actual idea of eve online?

Ross1234 · 1 Jun 2007 at 12:52

Could say this applies to all MMOs. I'm probably still too much of a noob to appreciate some of the better things the game has to offer. I'll probably try the game for a month but I dunno if I should stay or move over to the EU servers..

Ah ok thanks

I suppose that makes sense, I dont read stuff much thats my problem

, I previously played EQ2, got to lvl 27 or something but wanted the expansion pack, couldent afford that and in the end had to cancel my account as I currently cant afford the monthly costs, but I'll be sure to play them in the future.

Well since I use to staying up to 4am raiding..

It'd be great honey, we could farm gold & pots together and have no sex life
