Massively's Massive Giveaways: EVE Online part 4
We've been asked about guild structuring in EVE, so we thought we'd take this chance to touch upon one that aspect of the game for those who haven't ever gotten a chance to play. Corps (or Corporations) are the EVE Online equivalent of guilds that you would find in many fantasy-based games. When you start out, you are automatically placed into an NPC controlled Corporation along with everyone else in your race, and that is just fine for a while. Eventually, though, you'll want some friends to play with, and you'll need to start looking around on the forums or in-game for a Corp. Now, there are lots of Corps, but finding the right one for you will depend on how you like to play. As such, we can only really recommend one Corp for everyone new to EVE -- EVE University. It's a player-run Corporation staffed with old-timers and newcomers alike, all dedicated to teaching new EVE players the ropes. They'll hook you up with great information and help, so long as you're willing to put some time and effort in to making yourself a better player. That said, this time we're giving away the last of our EVE Online 100-day time cards. Those of you used to the game will enjoy 100 paid-in-full days of running around with your Corp, with our compliments. For those new to the game, we suggest you get a hold of EVE University for lots of help and great, solid information on getting used to life in EVE. By now you should know the drill; 18+, U.S. residents only, blah blah official rules and so on. So new player or veteran alike -- leave a comment by tomorrow at 4:15 PM, and you could be the one lucky person who wins this time card![EDIT] - This contest is closed. We will be announcing a winner shortly. Thanks!

I admit it. I don't tend to go into low-sec because the last time I wandered there, I was instantly destroyed. Luckily, I'd insured my ship, but I haven't made the same mistake again. Once I get a better ship, though -- it's on! Now some of you have no idea what I just said, so let me explain. If you like PvP, EVE Online is definitely a game you should check out if you're not playing it already. You will never know when or where you're going to get attacked, if your ship will make it through, if you'll have to warp out, or for that matter -- if you're heading into an ambush any time you move around. Some Corps have even gone so far as to declare all alliances broken, and proclaim that anyone who crosses into their space will immediately be killed. Dangerous? Sure. Fun? Absolutely! In the spirit of helping more people enjoy getting their PvP on, we're offering up a third 100-day time card for EVE Online. For those of you who absolutely love PvP, nothing could be better! (Well, okay, a big ship would be better, but we don't have that kind of ISK floating around or we would have bigger ships.) All you have to do to have a chance to win the time card is to leave your comment between now and tomorrow at 2:15 PM Eastern (11/14), be 18+, a U.S. resident, and otherwise agree to the official rules. Of course, if you'd skip off podding us in our wee little ships when we fly through your space, we'd appreciate that too.

For the second part of today's EVE Online themed giveaways, we wanted to cover another of the many things that you can do in EVE. As such, let me talk a bit about mining. This is something that everyone from lowest levels to highest levels can be involved in -- and for a new player to EVE, it's one of the easiest ways to make enough ISK to get you out of the starter ship. We've actually written up a guide to jetcanning for the new player to the EVE universe, and we're sure that our elder players can tell you about having to fight to defend themselves while mining harder to get minerals in low-sec space.To help you get some mining time in, we're offering another EVE Online 100-day time card. While yes, you must be 18+, a U.S. resident, and everything else covered by the official rules, you certainly can't beat free game time. Just leave a comment here before 12:15 PM tomorrow (11/14) and you're automatically entered!
Massively's Massive Giveaways: EVE Online
Our theme game for today's giveaways is a game near and dear to my heart -- CCP's fantastic game, EVE Online. If you haven't tried EVE, I can only say that you're missing out if you are a space fan. Of course, flying around is not all that this game has to offer you -- by a long shot. For example, I'm admittedly a bit of a tradeskill freak, so I created a Minmatar Industrialist who spends her days either running missions or happily creating and selling lots of little things while I wait to find a good Corp who will take me in. Of course, building things is just one of many things you can do in EVE, but we'll touch upon some others as the day progresses. For now, however we're offering up the first prize for today; a 100-day EVE Online timecard! This means you can save your ISK for bigger and better things, and instead pick up some free time courtesy of your friends here at Massively. All you have to do to be entered to win is to leave a comment below before 10:15 AM tomorrow (11/14) with your favorite Sci-fi space-based TV show. Of course, you must also be 18+, a resident of the U.S., and otherwise able to comply with the official rules. While I cannot win, I have to say my personal favorite is Babylon 5; I loved to watch the characters either ascend or descend over time. How about you?
