Looking for something new to dabble with. I'm still doing the tutorial parts.
How big of a mistake am I making?

You don't "dabble" in Eve. You eat, sleep, and breathe Eve.

I think there is a not so dense version of Eve for people who don't want to get in the weeds, but from everything I've ever seen of it, it's like going into space and getting a desk job. Looks like you're managing spreadsheets all the time.

I think the first portion of the tutorial - which was character creation, ship movement, some windows, basic attacking, then docking at a station - took about an hour or more
the next phase was "industry" and I called it a night before embarking on that

How good are your Excel skills?

Didn't the devs state once that the majority of EVE players stayed in high sec which is the complete opposite of what you would expect given the stories that come out of the communiity.

I imagine that the people that are already entrenched are there because they like that type of game. They're not going to go easy mode all of the sudden. It's for the people who want to get into Eve but are intimidated by the uber steep learning curve. But it's such an old game, how many people are really looking to get into it now?

Isn't that kind of like "dabbling" in pregnancy? Maybe more of a commitment than you realize?

I know. It's free to play so I figured I would try it.
There were over 20,000 people on last night.

One server makes a huge difference in games like this. There's also nothing else on the market quite like it, so I think you're safe starting out now. You will probably never catch up to the vets though.

Oh, have no plans to.

The game is a giant spreadsheet.
Edt: you will see.

Probably more like 2000 with 10 accounts each.
Spreadsheets with a starry sky background. Prepare to be wardec'd for not min/max'ing!

Do you have time in your life for a second job? Are you retired? If you answered yes to either of those you're good.
