Over the weekend, CCP tweeted out a fun poll asking EVE Online players what advice they’d like to deliver to newbies: Insure your ship, trust no one, join a corp, that sort of thing. I love these little exercises because they’re really not as much about the newbies as they are about the person giving the advice, so we can learn a bit about ourselves and maybe improve too.
For example, the first thing that pops into my mind is spend your freaking e-gold. Many of my MMO regrets revolve around working really hard to amass a video game fortune through econ PvP only to watch it become devalued by powercreep, abandoned for the next game, or turned to dust unspent in a server sunset. What a waste. I should’ve spent it or given it away. You seriously can’t take it with you. There’s a lesson I can give not just to newbies but to myself – in games and out.
What one piece of advice would you give to new MMO players in 2018?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
