Re: This game is not for casual play, am I right?
To the OP. Remember it is a sandbox game. It is up to you how you play and what you want to achieve.
It is not about the awesome blue sword of might and magic... whatever etc that no one else has!
It is more about what you do with it.
But, right now solo will be harder until the game has been live for a bit. I would recommend playing with a corp.
That is true, but the more important question is, when it comes down to it, what is there to actually do? Sandboxes are great, but all the flexibility in the world doesn't help if all it does is give you a million different ways to accomplish the same single thing. Keeping in mind that different people=different motivations, which knocks down a lot of "things to do". As a general rule, I couldn't give two *** about isk in Eve. Took at least 80% of the game out of it for me right there.
