Allakhazam.com is almost ready to launch our new Eve site (hopefully within the next few weeks). We have the database almost ready, and we are looking for some well written and well thought out player guides. If you are interested in writing up a guide, or have one you have already written that you want us to publish as well, we welcome your submission. Guides can be how to descriptions for just about anything of use to Eve players, newbie or experienced. If you want to contribute your knowledge to the community in this way, send us your guide at [email protected]. Thanks.

Allakhazam is owned by the business whose business plan is to sell illegal MMORPG currency/items, hardly a site anyone can trust anymore.
I would advise anyone to ignore that site.

Unfortunately for you, it's also one of the best game .db sites around :)

Yes it is good. And it is owned by the same corporation as Thottbott.
I left a couple of MMOG because of certain links between ingame currencies and real world money. Money laundering is definately a good job.

Does EVE really NEED an Allakhazam/Thottbot site? There's plenty of EVE Item/Ships/Everything database sites around, including this one

Definately. Navigating in Rens is really hard to do without an external system map and a guide to the exact spawn points of npc ships (stations, gates, roidbelts ...)
Or maybe the GMs are coming down hard on Isk-sellers advertising these days.

Say no to allakhazam.com
EVE doesn't need underhanded currency sellers attracting our players. If you're going to buy ISK, at least give CCP your money, not these guys.

I personally watched as allakhazam.com milked creative efforts, intellectual content and thousands of man hours writing guides and useful content from fans and paying subscribers under the guise of being 'anti RMT to the EXTREEEEME" only to sell out when the right cash was offered.
Parlaying all the hard work and dedication for content creation by fans into a great draw to their RMT ads.
I would advise against any True Believer eve fans from paying allakhazam.com any mind, and certainly don't put any effort towards them, they don't deserve our acknowledgement, much less patronage.

Having tried to use Allakhazam for another game, I can say its one of the more irritating sites to use just for practical purposes. It's very full of intrusive, animated ads and spawns endless popups with even more...

Years ago I was an avid Allakhazam user, my wife and I both had paid accounts there. Then they lost their focus, direction and ethics, and became like all of the other "fan" sites. They always said they wouldn't go that way, but here we are.

Our relationship to IGE is very peripheral and we do not run gold selling ads or in any way support of condone such practices. With 500 million plus page views a month, we are the biggest MMORPG information site on the web, and as an avid EVE player I can tell you that you will love that we are developing a site for this game. I've been working on it for two months now and I think you will like what you see once it goes live!

Well, you're going to have to offer more than just a db with a flashy front-end to get anywhere. Eve already has at least two online dbs, and the entire dataset is available to anyone who wants to download it anyway.

So you don't approve of IGE, just their money?
Eve has players that have at one time or another maintained fan info sites out of their own pocket, just for love of the game, and you want us to contribute to yours?
laughable.

Ummm... can't you go ruin other games instead?
Besides... as others have posted... the Eve community doesn't need your site. There are plenty of other sites out there that DON'T sell in-game merch... despite the Google ads... with plenty of info. Lots of these sites even have the info in other languages!

Oh, in other forums that might pass for a believable explanation. But how can you have worked on this for 2 months and not know that this community is blessed with both thinking, reading and writing skills? (ok, the last in moderation)
Using all three in combination I would like to ask you:
Do you really think we are that stupid?

Oh you don't?
I immediately had 6 game-currency ads on the first page I surfed to, along with two pop-unders.
Thank you very much.

Not contributing a damn thing to Allakhazam. 
I used to, back in the day, when EQ was still new. No more, after all those changes.
Let the EVE fansites roar... the ones that are driven by players!

This is a lie. Blatant and barefaced.
And if I remember correctly Allakhazam once hosted a trojan in one of the godawful banner/popup ads that harvested players WoW account details from visitors.
Yuh-huh, I think the EVE community's gonna be giving your shabby , badly organised, self-serving, gold-selling, exploit carrying, possibly virus-infested excuse for a site the finger.

I don't know where that spyware came from but I don't think it was powered by IGE.
Banner Ads were distributed behind the scenes. A single highjacked Ad and many sites distributed it - as had happened back then. They never gave out any info about it though.

Points for whoever spots what is wrong with the above.
Oh, and Allakhazam.com can take a jump.
They profit from the scum of gaming.
Shameful.

Thanks, but no thanks.
We don't need an EVE section on your site.
Anyone needing to find a good guide please use:
EVE search
and type in the type of EVE guide you need.

Exactly. I'll be staying well clear of any game sites that are linked with in-game currency selling.
So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. |

i will never use Allakhazam.com ever again! used to use it all the time when i played FFXI, but after hearing you guys had a trojan on the website that stole wow logins NO WAY!
do a google search for "Allakhazam.com wow trojan"
they claim it was one of there adverts but seeing as there owned by an mmo currency selling website i doubt it
