Mouse Scroll......

So I'm a few days in and every time i scroll the mouse wheel to adjust the zoom I go the wrong way. God Dammit! Where is the Invert Mouse Scroll tickbox?!?

So I messed with the Registry and inverted my mouse scroll in windows itself to see if it made Eve better. Run a script to change it before launching EVE, and run a second script to change it back when I finish.

It all seemed good until I was reading the mission text and the bloody scroll is inverted. Duh!

I'll flick it back.

Tutorial Funtimes

I am completely new to EVE, sure a mate showed me this game nearly 10 years ago, but at the time I only had the cash for 1 subscription based MMORPG. WOW was still running hot and it was my game of choice.

I thought it would be good to go through the tutorial. I had created my character and started following the quest chain. I had just completed the mission where you capture your rookie ship and space and managed to dock just before Downtime. (DT)

When the servers came back up I couldn't figure out how to complete the mission. I probably spent 2 hours trying to figure out why the tutorial didn't work.
"How can i fuck up the tutorial and not be able to work this out!?! WTF is going on?!?" (yes there may have been some slight rage there)

So I've started an Eve Online Blog.

Well after 10 months of playing Eve Online and reporting some of the day to day actions to my corp mates via forums, it was suggested that I "Blog this shit".

I am by no means a fancy wordsmith and hope I'm not too far out of my depth.  This is my first blog and while it is October 2014 now, I'm hoping that I can "backdate" my posts to essentially form a timeline of my progression through Eve and some of the fuckups I have made to date.  As I nearly quit Eve Online within about 4 hours of gameplay I have experienced the "Steep Learning Curve" and "WTF Glitches" quoted by so many players.  

This Blog is active and I will back-fill the older posts and hopefully put up something new soon.  

From a corp perspective, we have used forums for ages.  I'm sure that my Corp mates will enjoy re-reading some of the antics that have happened as we have delved in EVE Online together.  While a few of the Corp have played EVE for ages a bunch of noobs have all started at the same time.  We've all played games together before.  Our corporation is compiled of RL mates and mates of mates.  We haven't posted our Kill or Loss mails, if others want to submit them, no problems.  It ensures that we are always underestimated.
