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.
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

"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?
