Sure I had a pretty big advantage over a real noob like having good armor, TP chip and knowledge of the land and good routes to the TP's but I did graduated in just 6 days and got all the TP's in the process.

So now, aside from not having any skills in anything other than mining I am pretty much back to where I was a week ago. A little richer with the sale of some skills and a couple of nice ore claims a few days ago. Aside from those 2 claims mining has been horrible to...

Man...have I dropped a lot of bombs over the last 5 days. My OF-211 is now maxed and I have all but 2 TP's, the 2 on the white island.

Day 4 I did a run from Neas to Akmuul Via Omegaton, Memorial, Oyster, and Myrene. TP chip is a must for this run unless you like to swim and the very old revive map I have been using is pretty much dead on still. Mining sucked along the way but did hit 2 IX Zinc right next to eachother towards the end of the run. I ran into one fellow digging...

I landed on Calypso on Thursday March 20, 2008 and was greeted by Emma. I thought of playing the role of a real noob but I had some chipping out of my old avatar to do and needed to get my stuff moved over so my old account could be closed ASAP. Chipping out was a royal PITA. Buying small chips was proving to be quite costly but once I figured out what the hell I was doing it went more smoothly, but still a PITA with that many skills to chip.

Well, it seems my EU life as I have known it is about to take a major turn. My battle with MA support will not be won so I am chipping out and starting over. But hey it might make this bolg more interesting now and someone might actually read it. I mean how many times can I post "I globaled on CND"?

From here on out it will be a journey as a noob, gathering TP's, hunting noob mobs, mining and building up skills.

The advantage I will have this time is the...

Mining on the planet is proving to be a mere ped dump on a daily basis. I do 150 ped runs (100 probes 100 bombs) and am losing 50 ped each time on a regular basis. I have less losses on CND on bad days so I am not sure what the problem is on the planet. Are my skills in a funk zone? Has mining been nerfed towards the Uber finders? I just don't know. I have mined just about everywhere the past week when I am not on CND and only one run I had a 5 ped profit, all others big losses.
