Well, where to begin? Ah, yes! Introductions. 
I'm StatikNode, and my avatar is now shortened to just Statik. I began playing a month ago, seeing that this was supposed to be a great experience, and that CryEngine is just amazing. Unlike many other noobs, I didn't join to make money, since I can provide myself income in other ways. I joined since this game is reputed to have an amazing "culture." And since I'm quite chatty, this seemed oh-so-perfect.
My first steps into EU began ~5 weeks ago. I started off wandering the areas, getting a feeling for the world. I got killed by a Sakubama, outran an Atrox, and chased a Gibnib into the water. I had no clue what the heck I was doing. Wandering to the north of Port Atlantis, I came across Nus Lull, by the river, and ran farther north to Billy's Spaceship. Approaching a rather large robot, I equipped my trusty VSK, and attempted to sweat it. Instead, I pissed it off, and it shot me. Haha
Rather annoyed with my experiences, I teleported back to PA, and began sweating Eraxosaurs, which weren't exactly a smart choice at the time. After many deaths and revivals, I had leveled up my skills quite a bit, and this helped me out a lot. It took me a little over a week to amass 1K of sweat, which is now rather long for me. Disappointed and impatient with my attempts to sell it, I decided to explore a bit, finding a better place to sell it. I started my trek eastboung, to Twin Peaks. It took me the better part of 3 hours to get there, but the time paid was rewarded with many map markers and TP's. Advertising my sweat was unsuccessful at first, since I was marketing at a 6PED price, which seemed fair for the time I had paid. Eventually, I lowered it down to 5, then 4.5, then all the way TO 4PED!
Being somewhat ignorant at the time, I sold it, and decided to buy myself the TT pistol (whatever it's called.) Going out hunting, I managed to kill 3-4 Exarosaurs, before my ammo supply was exhausted. Back to sweating again. But since I wanted help, in not always dying, I joined some teams. Eventually, some spammer invited me to join some society with a French name, and I did, but I didn't find help there. I left, and joined TKoC (amazing soc, guys ) and I got help very soon after. After sweating some more, and selling some more, for a higher price this time, I ran outside and hunted. I got fairly decent returns this time, allowing me to skill for a short time longer. This continued on, until I followed some team north, to Swamp Camp, and I began to get amazing sweats there. I could amass 1K in a few hours, and then this profit helped me out a lot. I would hunt, and try out mining (which failed miserably) in attempts to skill, and maybe get lucky.
Finally, I got a free set of armor (Bodyguard) but noticed its' fairly low protection, and decided to sell it. I took my returns, went mining and hunting, and got some satisfying mining drops. But then again, exhausting my supplies, I sold my equipment, and played the market, making some money on the new Blazar Fragments. Now, I've earned more money, and am going to deposit within the next few days.
With ups and downs, new things I've seen, and a kind atmosphere, (other than atroxes) I'm satisfied. I feel very optimistic, since I've had a good laugh with today's Argo Party at Twin Peaks, and with other events going on. I wish to one day join you higher level players, and create great new experiences in the Entropia Universe
