I think a full manual would tip Eve further in favour of the metagamers - the people who carefully calculate which combination of skills will maximise their combat/mining/forum whoring potential in the shortest period of time... The people that sell themselves t1 modules for billions to break regional average prices... The people who have 3 accounts which they run simultaniously, stripmining vast swarthes of space...
Obviously Eve is just a game, but back in the real world we aren't presented with a manual at birth* - knowledge is gained through a combination of teaching, trial & error and basic intuition.
no Eve manual imo.
*unless you're a religious type, i guess. but i couldn't care less, so lets not go there.

People really do that?

What's the bet that once it's finished it will be burned to a cd with an interatable splash screen with search functions and categories so you can have like an EVE: Online encylopedia for ú8.99 or something?
I'd definately buy it!

Free wiki is a great idea. Even after playing for a year, there are still aspects of the game about which I know very little.
There's a number of really good guides on these forums already which would make an excellent start to the wiki.

I miss the old (very old, pre-castor) market map that showed the price/volume history for specific systems and even specific stations in a system. That was nice.

The wiki concept has only one advantage. It doesn't cost CCP one grimy isk. And in the end, we'll all get exactly they pay for.
Wikipedia doesn't cost anything and is by far the best general resource on the entire internet.
Countless websites on the internet use their own wikis and are great resources. I don't see a single disadvantage of a Wiki.
A CCP-created guide would be constantly incomplete and out of date.
Heya Dark,
The point here is whos going to pay for keeping it running and good solid content and not a bunch of speculative content is more of the issue.
GOOD wiki's are seriously managed and such in various ways and reasons...
recently some not so factual content was released through a famous wiki...its in the news...recently..
wait till the community starts petitioninng ccp cause the player updated wiki managed by ccp said this...and that and now they want to say the wiki said so so i want my ship back
there are more issues at hand then other's doit so why shouldn't eve.
As for the ever evolving of eve and content being relevent...
Manual updates could coincide with updates and patch notes if they are accurate....
i do agree it is a mountian to surpass...but i must concur with JP on this one...its clear ccp is looking for a cost effective solution to support here...and it will be at the expense of the players...and thats business....
with all the new customers, support services are lacking more then ever....
petitions are still broke in game alot...que's are backed up weeks on end...documentation is failing in certain areas...not to mention players basically manage the help channel questions while volunteers police those players to do a good job...
free support only carries a game so far...although CCP does the best volunteer job ever done in MMO's that i know still have it...it still does not justify 110+ thousand accounts now...it was all good when 20k played....now its a different ballgame and playing catch up is not going to even come close to addressing service concerns within the community....
but then look at it this way....3rd party farmed out support has its drawbacks also...bigtime...
in the end solutions win and complaining about it all does nothing...
bring a better solution to the table...that solution will COST MONEY .... who knows maybe ccp has something big up thier sleeve here...
