BlackHole Bob	Posted - 2006.04.12 23:42:00 - [1] Edited by: BlackHole Bob on 12/04/2006 23:46:35 First let me take you back a few years but I will be brief.... When I started playing eve, about a month after it released in 2003, it was a whole different game. Yet today the very core and foundation of EvE's economic modal and interface, and more, remain unchanged and are core to the game. In that, EvE has become ever evolving and always changing. Compound this fact with EvE's extensive learning curve, more so then other games, and you get to a point where the whole project, in itself, can become daunting to get new players acclimated to the game before they get upset not understanding it even beyond its mechanics. It gets to a point that a new player may get a bad impression due to a lack of information in a ever evolving and changing universe that has a deep and beautiful interface to work with, and a even deeper community surrounding it. So over time I did my best to help this issue go away. So I set the scope of the project and stayed true to as best as possible. 1 Make a new player guide to lower EvE's learning curve. 2. Provide factual updated to build information 3. Foster and help new players acclimate to EvE sooner for a more enjoyable experience early on. 4. Provide this information completely 100% in game with high optimization and very fast reliable delivery SCOPE: Lower Eve's learning curve with factual updated to build information to acclimate to EvE sooner completely 100% in game. Today here we are almost 3 years later.... If you desire to provide efforts to help this project you may do so in these manners: 1. Write a factual document in word format with no encoding and send it to me for review to be posted. If your information is questionable or poorly written it is very possible we will not even consider it for posting. We will verify any questionable content or request for accuracy at anytime even for past content. CCP is our final resource and has not failed us yet in verification of questionable content. 2. Send ISK to BlackHole BoB as this is a completely free web site and project that will never accept any real life monies. This is a love of labor for the community of EvE and taking real life donations of monies would just be improper. So if you do not wish to help by adding content to this extensive guide then just send ISK and we will all be good. (besides this project has cost me much time I could have been farming ISK, 3. Make sure new players find this if you see one struggling with learning eve. Links are welcome and encouraged in and out of the game itself. ------------------------------------- All in all many pilots, from players to volunteers to CCP and more, over the YEARS now, have contributed to this guide and to even start to mention them all would be wrong...cause it just would not be possible. Even though I edit and format it all and manage it, this truly is a community free project of what I would say is of epic proportions when talking about the game of eve and its overall community involvement and love for the game. For this is my reward... helping others and making the game just a bit more fun in my own way for new players... no ISK can buy me that satisfaction in my soul to know I have done the right thing. Feel free to send ISK though 100% INGAME NEW PLAYER GUIDE AND MORE !!! Now go out and conquer the Galaxy with knowledge!

BlackHole Bob	Posted - 2006.04.12 23:57:00 - [2] Edited by: BlackHole Bob on 12/04/2006 23:58:34 A bit of behind the scenes info on this guide: Excerpts from pieces of this guide are verbatium quoted in CCP's own online manual. This happened long ago and was given freely to CCP and ISD to use as they still see fit to date. It is a true honor to be recognized in even this small light. This document when printed is over 35 pages This document is 20 web pages deep. This document has ZERO images or EYE candy and is PURE TEXT for top end content and loading optimizational concerns. (go in game to see the pretty colors) This site resides on evegathering.com servers which have un-metered bandwidth, no hassles, no advertisements, extremely fast and reliable and more... This site should server up very fast in game and requires no data driven php anything, trust me stuff...it is pure 100% html text feel free to link away all your hearts desire...IN and out of game!!
