I'm exactly the same mate, I'd love to dive back in but time just isn't there anymore.

Downloaded the client, double clicked, "Do you want to run this file?", click RUN and nothing...
Any ideas?
Windows 10.
I installed it on my laptop last night and it ran so thought i'd pop it back on my gaming pc.

What's worse is that I have the client installed still and chuck some useful training onto the alt's under 5mil sp.
Hah I still topped up all my characters to any skills they were missing and could train as alpha even though I have zero intention of playing the game again - I did intend to occasionally do some null sec roams as alpha but the people I was going to do that with quit the game soon after alphas came out.

Hey all, thinking of starting eve but as you can expect i'm completely overwhelmed by everything 
Is there a beginner friendly group of people on here that play and can show me and a friend the ropes?

Join EVE Uni, they are always willing to help and I think they still hold classes. The recruitment is a bit OTT but remember, these guys take the game seriously and it's how they enjoy playing it so don't be put off by the 'interviews'.
In terms of what to do for now, crack on and complete ALL the training missions and campaigns. You get some decent starter stuff from them and it opens you up to all avenues of play style (sort of).
Once you've done that, crack on with the Sisters of Eve quest line. It's long but nets you some cool stuff. The last 2 bosses you'll certainly need help for.
I'm not sure where to find a link, but out there on google is a 'core skill' list, about 30 days worth of training but it sets you up nicely and allows you to be really loose in where you'd like to move to next without restraining you on starting said career choice. The #1 rule is to always be training something.

Just rejoined for a month after 10+ years too.
Currently out in the middle of nowhere with 350 million ISK and a load of Tech II kitted battleships/cruisers/frigates... apparently I'm worth 2.5Billion ISK?!
Where are people based and what do they do? Wouldn't mind doing some PvE in a small group and perhaps even some PvP...

Still got my ‘04 account on 294m sp but no real idea how Eve works now, anyone recruiting/wanna get together?
I'm an 04 player....albeit now on a new account (100m SP). I'm in TEST and a member of Dreddit. It's fantastic. There's so much to do, all the infrastructure both ingame and out of game is brilliant and theres opportunity to do anything you want. I can't think of what there is ingame that you can't do as a member of Dreddit and TEST.
I'm part of the recruitment team so if you want to get in, let me know.
You missed the part that you are stagnating the game and turning it into a theme park by joining mega coalitions.

'04 player here too. Let my sub run out a few months back as I was having EVE burnout.
That's like 14 years worth of skillpoints. How could you not know how Eve works. Sure you didn't buy the toon

No I didn’t buy it and I was referring to the intracies of the game
Muttclugg, how do I contact you in game?
Lot of the new stuff I'd have no idea if I started again now - also a lot of it doesn't interest me - I liked that a lot of the older content provided a framework that people could build something with while a lot of the new stuff appears to be far more focused, curated and specific.

Yahyerer. Been doing some level 4 missions before heading out to sell some stuff in Amarr, had loads of tags and kit from my previous time playing that was worth a few Bob and was only about 100m3 so I fitted out a frigate with nanostructures and a MWD in an attempt to bypass any gate campers.
Turned out doing this on a Sunday morning wasn’t the best plan. Lost 500 Million according to the kill sites by making a complete mess of getting out of a gate camp. Guy had a lock on me almost instantaneously.
Queue me getting the relevant skills for cloaking such that I can move all my kit if needs be!
Going to also set some waypoints up 200km from gates such that I can check before proceeding next time...
