On to download.

Wait, Ravenpoe sent me a 21-day trial link to my email a couple of weeks ago, but when I clicked on it today it says FREE 14-DAY TRIAL ACCOUNT SIGN UP

did the 21-day one expire or is that normal and I'll still get 21? Checking before I register anything.
 
EvE online, you don't have the stuff

AAHH!! Are you sure!?

"Congratulations! You have created your 14-day trial and are about to embark on an adventure unlike any you have experienced before."

FOURTEEEEN
 
EvE online, you don't have the stuff

Did you click the trial thingy on the website or follow the link in the email Poe sent you?
 
EvE online, you don't have the stuff

I clicked the link Poe sent me. It all still says 14-day. When Ferahgo said i'll still get 21 I proceeded to register... and still see 14. I'm now downloading, but i keeps specifically saying "14-day trial".

Sigh, I think I just lost 7 days of trial.

Go to eveonline and check your account settings. Find how many days are really on your account. should say 21.
 
EvE online, you don't have the stuff



Yeah, no, I'm screwed. And I assume the account is linked to my e-mail?

sigh.

2 faults so far for EvE, first the 21-day link that didn't work for no specified reason, second the auto-installer refused to download the game because it said I didn't have enough disk space even though I kept pointing it at an installation destination in the partition that has 55+ gigs.

So.. let's say I downloaded this today..when would it be a good time to hop on so I have some sort of guide in what looks like the scariest game ever for a newb?
*perk*

I guess I'll have to download the client :)

Ferahgo

EvE online, you don't have the stuff

Well dunno why you didnt get the 21, probably because you waited to long but don't see why that should have affected it. Second, its not tied to your email, you can have multiple accounts to your name/email/payment ect. And as to why it won't download right, /shrug, get a better computer lol
 
EvE online, you don't have the stuff

The computer is working fine, thanks, it's just that the client didn't seem to like the fact that I have a partition for the OS and another for ..well, all the storage.

just biomass your character (so you can reuse the name) and go start a new account.

Glad to have you aboard Caleja
 
EvE online, you don't have the stuff

I haven't created the character yet, just the account, I'm downloading (manually, cause the client sucks) the game right now.... but what can I do before it's done downloading to get the 21 days?

Ferahgo

EvE online, you don't have the stuff

Have someone send you a new 21 day trial :)
 
EvE online, you don't have the stuff

Can someone please send me one at the e-mail you can see in my profile?

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

Huh, I'm not sure where Poe got my e-mail, I can't seem to find just the addy on my profile.

I'ts fcalleja and then the gmail stuff.

Calleja, if you haven't gotten it by then I will buy you a 1 month account.
 
EvE online, you don't have the stuff

gotten the 21 day trial? wha? Don't buy me stuff, Turbo, you have nice kids to buy stuff for, and as much as I'd like to be your son (you're certainly old enough) it's better if I just take up your offer of crashing on your couch whenever I'm in your area during my grand world trip I'll someday do before I'm old...

...like you. :awesome:

Oh for FUCK'S sake...

Spent 2 fraking hours downloading the EVE client.... and it's of no fucking use because it will NOT let me specify where it wants to FUCKING extract the package and is VEHEMENT to do it in a temporary folder in the OS's partition where there is NO FUCKING SPACE because that's NOT the partition I use to SAVE stuff so I don't need more than a gig or 2 of leeway.

No, no, forget the fact that's there's a PERFECTLY GOOD partition right in the same hard drive with OVER 50 GODDAMNED GIGS FREE FOR IT TO SHIT ALL OVER!

so, yeah, unless you guys have any ideas on how to circumvent this fucking STUPID coding error on EVE's part, I'm not gonna be able to join you guys in your cool awesome game there.

gorram it, i swear, it's like they don't WANT me to get hooked and pay them.

well, I hope you get to play, I'm already going through the basic Amarr storyline.
 
EvE online, you don't have the stuff

I'll wait until tomorrow for someone to think maybe of a solution, then I'm erasing the fucking 2+GB file I downloaded, unsubscribing from this thread and forget this awesome game I've been salivating over for weeks fucking even exists.

:(

Hmm I have a partition and I got it to work fine for me. Don't remember how exactly that all went down but I don't explicitly remember having to do any tinkering.

As to Mav's remarks, yes there are definitely pvp things you can do within the first weeks of the game. Lord Rendar ganked a couple of guys right from the get go. And like they said, Baerdog will be able to fly a battlecruiser soon but is already flying one of the baddest cruisers in the game, the Rupture, and when he gets that thing dialed in he'll be a legitimate threat to many targets.

@Crone, you may want to consider the corp because it allows you to freely shoot your corpmates even in highsec space, which would normally get you shot down. I think you see where I'm going here. =)

The game play definitely feels different since I stoppedf playing around Quantum rise, that's for sure. And while I appreciate the "offer" if calejjanaijackaroo isn't going to play then I might not stay plast my trial either, because it still feels like SuperBang and Boom Microsoft Excel 98. Tell you how pavlovian it was, before I scrubbed the crash course i was setting skills. Queue is a new addition.

decided to upgrade for a month. The new attributes system is a bit wanky, but hey. now to find usable skill trees to figure out what's what :)

there any guides that will tell me what skills i need to train up in order to start killing people?
 
EvE online, you don't have the stuff

mav -> pick a minmatar, -> train autocannon to lvl 3 -> fly a rifter -> fit a warp scrambler and you can already kill people.

That's about right. Here's one ofa couple basic pvp rifter fits (not sure exactly what will fit in your powergrid/cpu, so increase or decrease the size of your ac's to get it as tight as possible:

1)
hi - 3x ac 150, 1x rocket launcher
med - 1mn afterburner, scram, web
low - gyrostab, 200mm plate, small armor repairer

2)
hi - 3x ac 150, 1x small nosferatu
med - 1mn afterburner, scram, web
low - gyrostab, 200mm plate, small armor repairer

3)
hi - 3x ac 125, 1x rocket launcher
med - 1mn afterburner, scram, web
low - Damage control, 400mm plate, gyrostab



Calleja. I've seen some posts about how to install eve on a partitioned hard drive, but I can't look at them right now since I am at work. It may be worth a second try?

Crone. Put in an ap to corp, you don't need no stinky calleja.

Also, does anyone know how I can change the title of the thread? Wan't it to say something like "EvE online Hal Industries, join us"

Or at the minimum, a new thread. With all of Hal Industries ingame names etc.

i just realized why eve draws me back. it isnt the pvp or whatever, its the skill queue ocd addictive urge. Must skill on time!
 
EvE online, you don't have the stuff

So no one has any ideas on how to get the installer to extract the package somewhere where there's actual space? I tried googling this and people HAVE complained about the same problem, but haven't really seen any solutions.

Some other forum mentioned doing it with winrar? how can I open a .exe with winrar so I can manually extract it? Argh, you have no idea how much this is pissing me off.

is it isanely impossible to shuffle stuff temporaily out of the extraction folder it wants to like a USB key, and then shuffle things back?

Once we get to a certain point we will actually need a secured forum space in here, as in no one but our corp members can access it, due to the issues with spies/etc. At this point though that's not an issue in the slightest.

Calleja, really sorry about the problems you are having. I will look for some stuff when I get off of work, can other people google around for him as well? Hopefully we can get you in.

Also, Crone, since your admittedly OCD about skill queing, I assume you already have EvEMon right? If not getitgetitgetitgetitgetitgetitgetit

Yeah, pretty much, cause there's NOTHING on the partition it wants to extract to but the OS stuff, so I'd have to gut Windows7, which I don't think is a good idea. I've tried clearing everything that might be there, temporary files, recycle bin, etc. Hell, I even compacted the registry, to no avail.

The partition for OS/partition for everything else system has worked for me perfectly for years... any time I want to re-format or re-install windows I can do so without having to back anything up nor having to worry about losing anything. This is the first time any software has gotten a stick up its ass about it.

VEMon 1.2.8.1385 - EVEMon is a lightweight, standalone ...
Jun 22, 2009 ... EVEMon EVEMon is a lightweight, standalone Windows application designed to assist you in keeping track of your EVE Online character.
and atm I cant even get Evemon's page from battle clinic to load.

but yeah, I play on a Mac Pro. im not inclined to partition it, install windows 7 and install Eve and Eve mon. For the moment, I'm just getting learning for implants anyway...
 
EvE online, you don't have the stuff

Ok, so I'll describe the problem specifically so you guys know what I'm up against.

The "non-manual" installation file, that is the small .exe you can download which then proceeds to try and download the main client itself, DOES let you choose where to save stuff.... but even if you point it at a destination that's in the storage partition, it refuses to download it claiming there's not enough space. Apparently it only checks in the OS partition for space. Stupid. When it fails it gives you a link to a "manual" installation file, which is pretty much you just downloading the 2.4~ GB file. Fine, I downloaded that.. RIGHT to the storage partition, mind you.

When that finally finished downloading I run THAT... and it instantly starts unpacking itself.. onto a temporary destination in the OS partition. There's even a "browse" button that should let you choose where you want it to unpack, but it's always grayed out, there's no pause between you running the .exe and it beginning the extraction. Since it won't let you choose where to unpack itself (even though it teases you with the grayed out option) it will eventually fail (after a few long minutes of it trying, mind you, this time it DOESN'T check before.. stupid) and tell you there's not enough space. Well no shit, sherlock.
