u'You will die. A lot.

And once you get good at things and understand how the game works, you will end up getting wtfbbqpwnzored by 2 people in frigates, and your battleship will be burning with you inside. They will demand you hand over more isk than you have in your virtual wallet, and you will realize that, in fact, you still know nothing about this game.

You will never win this game. This isn\u2019t a \u201cwin\u201d game. There is no level 80. There is no set of achievements except the ones your set for yourself. You aren\u2019t safe. Anywhere. Period. PvP occurs in stations too. It is called The Market. You might not die, but your wallet could easily disappear.

You fit your ship wrong. Again. That\u2019s right, you always will. \u201cMy Punisher killed that Rifter! This is certainly the right fit. No wait, how did that Coercer kill me? I need to refit\u2026\u201d

Check your directional. Check your local.
That Maller is a trap.

Warp stabilizers might save you today. They won\u2019t tomorrow, and probably won\u2019t ever again. Inject your skillbook before you leave the station. Neo didn\u2019t learn Kung-Fu by having it sit in his usb drive.

Bookmark everything. ESPECIALLY when you jump into a wormhole. This includes where you came into the wormhole. Because when you are busy scanning and a HAC targets your Arbitrator, you will be in a pod. And then you will have a really interesting time getting out of WH space.

Keyboards are destructible. Much more so when used as a projectile.

Don\u2019t fly it if you can\u2019t fit it. That being said, DON\u2019T FLY IT IF YOU CAN\u2019T FIT IT. And the same goes for affordability. That mentally challenged fellow there in local chat calling you names? He\u2019s not mentally challenged. Nor is he forgiving when he finds you. Pods pop easily. Concord delivers swift justice, especially for your mistakes, like targeting friendly pods and clicking the wrong action.

You can do anything: Manufacture, explore, trade, pvp, mine, lead a corporation, lead an alliance, wage wars, pirate, transport, be a part of factional warfare, and I\u2019m sure there is more I am leaving out. You can become virtually rich, and you can lose it all. A friend of mine that I used to play WoW with asked what is so great about Eve, and why he should leave WoW. It is such a broad and easy question, I didn\u2019t know where to start. But ultimately I told him the most important thing I have learned in this game: Eve is what you make of it.
