The learning curve is really steep, but the end result is really rewarding. It is true that EVE require patience and HARD reading. But that's not enough. Many new players make the big mistake to try to play the game alone. And this is BIG stupid mistake from CCP (the producers) as well. The first advice for newbie (noob etc.) is JOIN A CORPORATION in-game. There are hundreds of corporations with different profiles and with different sizes. In a corp a newbie could learn more for a day, than for a month alone. There are excellent free 3rd party tools for managing Skill Training planning, Ship Fitting planning etc. And yes, this game is not like Descent FreeSpace or WingCommander. It is just different. I was disapointed because I wanted the PvP combat to be real action. Shooting the poor NPC (non-player characters) during the tutorial was dumb expirience. A month later I joined a corp and I felt the first adrenaline after 2 hours of combat in a fleet of 100 vs. 100 players in several systems. EVE has voice communication in-game (since a couple of months), but each corp / alliance operates TeamSpeak or Ventrilo server, so this is not a real issue. It is a great game of a great scale (5000 solar systems, 30000 players on-line in one universe, no shards). But it takes time and effort to learn, and it even consumes more time to play. ;-) Hopefully CCP will invest more to improve all-aspects of the game - from the stupid tutorial to the gameplay. I am eager to see the "on-planet" expirience once it is ready... I would recommend you - give it a try again, but this time join a corp. ;-) It is MMORPG, it is not first person shooter.

Hopefully CCP will invest more to improve all-aspects of the game – from the stupid tutorial to the gameplay. I am eager to see the “on-planet” expirience once it is ready…

I too signed up for 14 days on Eve online. I've never been back since about 2 hours into the impentrable tutorial. Thank Barry Burton for City of Heroes. I may hate other people but at least I can tell them that in-game easily enough. Assuming I want to talk to them... It’s like I’m thinking the words and you’re typing them.

It should enhance gamer's skills by interacting with one another rather than waiting for everything to happen. The rest of the game genres are far more exciting and fun than this specific category.
