TBH, it's hard to get started without a corp (guild). With people who know what they're talking about to get you on the right track, it's not bad. The thing about EvE is there is so much depth, so much you can do, so much you can become that starting off is really hard without advice from people that have already been there, done that. On the plus side of that, it's a single shard universe so if you start, I can hook you up with a good corp to get you started.
