Launch Day!

So a busy week at work means hardly any research for the past week.

But on Thursday, I purchased the Eve Online game at a Walmart.

And Saturday I signed up. After getting the house ready for a bridal shower my wife is throwing.

So I get some goodies.
A PDF from the website - So everyone gets it.
A joke of manual
A special edition ship, which I hear is a shuttle.
A VIP Pass which is the same as the buddy program for everyone else
60 day pass.

So essentially a DVD and 60 days for $39.99. Vs paying 2 months at $14.99 each.. hmm oh well done deal.

So I create an account and put in my 60 day card.
I then install the game.
I then launch the game.
I then spend the next 2 1/2 hours updating the game.

wheee.. just plain wheee....

1362 MB update? holy wow.

So been reading the PDF and it is purty. Has some good info on careers.

So right now just waiting for the update to finish.

Maybe I will take a nap.

So far my Eve Experience isn't the greatest. Wonder if I had downloaded originally if I would have to do the update... oh well.

Once I can play, I have to create a character. Back to the Character Creation page on the EVElopedia. http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Character_Creation

Originally, I thought I would study more before playing. But hard to find time to study w/o the game to make it interesting. So ended up getting the game.

But alas, I am in wait mode.

24% done. 2hr 2 min left.

Nap time!
