Not me either

Do we like have our charter anywhere? Okay, nevermind, found it. I skip through it when I log on here, as it's a popup ;)

Trying to get us a presence in the Eve beta. I want our reputation in the game asap.

Sent off an email to CCP. And referred them to our forums, etc, etc. I don't expect a response. But just in case...

So, you experienced beta testers (I know we have a lot), should reply here and at least leave your email and or profile handle.

Also, join up in the UMEC corp member list on www.eve-online.com. Not many listed there as of yet. Not going to help our case when they look at it.

MC, you going to able to handle signups at Eve? If not we should work something out to transfer UMEC founder status to somebody who can? Also, you need to be registered on the forums to be a valid CEO.

I'm already registered on the forums and have made a few posts.

If someone is willing to take over as corp. leader for Eve I'd be very happy, as I don't have time for JG let alone Eve =P

I'll still fly Eve if they ever let me in, but I don't have time to deal with the politics.

Eve, I would say is Muffy's baby, though I may be wrong.

He's probably quietly chewing away at the beta right now :)

I plan on playing either way.

If you want Privateer, you're going to be somewhat disappointed. No twitch at ALL - just mouse and a 3-d any-direction-camera ability. Think of it as 'Earth and Beyond, done right, with PvP instead of PvE' and you're on track. If that doesn't appeal, neither will Eve.

With the launch of Beta5, the beta population will rise to a whopping 20000 (!!). There should be a good chance you'll get into the Beta about now...

Not that there's been very much to do so far.. Until now (when the market turned persistent and more agent missions are avalible (and working..)), the only valid source of income has been mining... :headbang:

Hmm.. Will download the latest patch tonight and fly around the pretty space stations (at least it's very pretty..) and see if it's bug free enough to get some "phat" into my character..

Nope. nothing here. Odds are slim for most. :) Congrats.

Well, I just got my invite today. I guess miracles do happen.

1)Freelancer actually exsists.
2)JG Ep.2 Launches
3)EvE is not quite the vaporware I thought it was.

There is a god afterall.

Well, when somebody gets a beta invite that doesn't want one, lemme know ;)

Kami · Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2003 10:11 pm Post subject:

Okie, NM, they sent me my own beta, I don't have to bust kneecaps.

Kami · Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2003 10:12 am Post subject:

well, for the record, I did not experience any lag. A lot of confusion, but no lag :)

Actually, Kami, if I remeber correctly, they had a patch around that time of the week, and that patch did cut down the lag alot for me. Still totally confused, but yeah, its much more playable now.

Kami · Posted: Sun Mar 30, 2003 2:46 am Post subject:

They really need to clarify the buy/sell system a bit. I figured it out, mostly by reading and a realsitic approach to a modern day market.

Anyways, I'm like deep in a no security zone watching guys blow up asteroid fields, lol.

Found out as a beginner, kernite is the thing to mine. I have no clue what to do with my money yet. I have like stockpiles of Ore from where I started to where I am now. One day I will go clean them all up and process them.

I'll be joining you folks shortly :)

I have to kick my wife off the darn thing first, lol.

I basically sit and watch her.

I got uber frustrated last night. Mined some good stuff and went to sell it and the station didn't want the refined minerals. I couldn't move it, well guess I could, but would take me a while. Bummer. Have to be more careful in the future.

I'm signed up, just need to figure out where the download is and I am in. I may spend 2 weeks there around Easter. :D Or bounce back to JG when things aren't good. Nice to have choices.

Huh...

I guess I'm in as well... my spam filter ate my invite. Noticed it as I was reinstalling JG yesterday.

COMPLETELY confused as to what is going on in game; however I was just the same when I first started playing Jumpgate.

Kami · Posted: Fri Apr 04, 2003 10:58 am Post subject:

Place is huge. Haven't seen a soul in days. Plenty to mine and trade when nobody else is around, though the profit is where the people are , at least in trading, but you have to be quick.

Frog · Sergeant Joined: 05 May 2002 Posts: 32 Location: Kyle TX

Kami, the game certainly DOES feel huge.

Anyway, once I play around with it a bit and get a character I like, I'll have a better idea of what the game is about.

I'm in as well. Havn't installed yet, still gathering info on what looks to be a fairly steep learning curve.

Kami · Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2003 9:40 pm Post subject:

Im getting frustrated with the latest setup. Guess I should get on the ball and find a corp , lol. About the only way to mine good ore without constantly battling angels.
