I think we've had a few Zelaron ppl try and quit EvE already. EvE is definately a social game. At it's core, it's a sandbox, so you have to work toward building something to fully enjoy it. It's hard to build stuff alone; with a group, you can build an empire of many different varieties. That being said, during the semesters, at least, we don't really have time for the game except low maintenance industrial pursuits, so more "anchor" ppl would be needed, though certainly we can share our experience to help others. The biggest drawback of EvE is the large baseline knowledge required to do well; the best way to learn is through conversation with others more experienced thann yourself, though certainly static sources are available many places online.
