[Eve Online] Welcome to Eve Online - Helpful Link List

[Felonous]

Welcome to Eve Online, hope you enjoy your visit. Because Eve does have a level of depth that other MMORPG games do not have, the learning curve can be a little daunting (some would even say Eve has a learning wall not a curve).

This thread is where I hope to keep a list of links to helpfull guides and sites, so that people new to the game have somewhere to go when they are stumped or can't find help in game. But of course feel free to drop your question in the evil_avatar chat room, people are more than willing to field your questions there.

If you have any links not already listed please reply and I'll edit the top post to include them. Links in italics are viewable in game via the Eve browser.

Recreated this thread over here in CoG due to it being gone from over there.

Wonder if we can get a mod to sticky this topic, it was incredibly useful on the other forum.

No need for a sticky, just bump it if if drops more than 3 pages deep.

CCP is letting canceled subscribers play for a few days without actually resubbing. I'll probably be playing around this weekend.
