Things are hotting up as far as TOR goes.

I'm fairly confident that this won't be another WAR/CO.

I'm spending a lot of my free time scouring the intarwebz for new info on this game these days :D

turn away from the dark side, but seriously remember EVe is a game you get out what you put in.

Whatever makes your wank you can probably do it, Mine, shoot , explore, or start a Industrial/ Trading career. All is possible.

Just do not be afraid to ask questions we all know what that first time in eve is like.

"Open PVP" - the idea always makes me shiver with anticipation.

"Grey Jedis" - interesting idea.  does that mean I can PvP with both sides of the war?
