Most everything on the interwebs about Eve is from years ago, even a lot of the stuff on the wikis is outdated. What's the dealio with this? It's so hard to find reliable up to date information. |

That makes no sense. If it was updated there would be no complaints about it being outdated. |

Reliabilty for anyone is a scarce resource, propably the main reason. Up to date is a non existant resource and only a myth like santa claus and pixies are. Threads like this generally result in anything positive.

after 8+ years people move on
and really all video game info is old take prima for example, they write those guides in beta and by the time launch comes the guide is already 5 patches behind and doesn't even include all of the content. The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

It makes perfect sense because after you update, it already becomes outdated and then you have to update it again. |

EVE development was on complete hold for 2 years, and most mechanics in the game have not been touched since before you were out of diapers. A guide could be written on a cave wall, and still be up to date. |

The time between Eve updates is plenty enough to keep your guides and wikis updated.

And then get bitched at because you didn't search for unreliable outdated info. |

I'll third the well thought out, reasonable suggestions above.
Quote:wi-+ki/-êwik-ô/ Noun: A Web site developed collaboratively by a community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content.
There is also the ISK guide to provide a basic overview. But seriously, why do people need an up to date guide for EVE? There are broad overviews for relatively unchanged items, dev blogs to explain things, forums and corp mates to ask questions of and a whole Wiki to edit and read.
How can a person NOT find an answer if they really wanted one? |

I'll bold the important part. Anyway, I don't care about a guide, I care about basic information about the game that shouldn't be outdated but is

1) For many reasons a lot of experienced and helpful players have since moved on to other games.
2) Competition. No sense in destroying your own advantage.
3) A lot of stuff really hasn't changed in the last few years.
Edit - This is more of a personal rant of mine and probably doesn't hold water but EVE's community has changed from determined and experimental to lazy and whiny. More and more people want **** hand fed to them and can't be bothered to figure anything out on there own. This general retardation of the EVE community would also be a solid reason why there's nothing constructive coming out of it anymore. |

That 10,000,000,000 times over. There are too many players coming to EVE because they are bored with WoW / whatever and not because they WANT to play EVE as it is. I've only been here a year or so and the trend is definitely heading down. |

Oh look! A boring, over-used and illogical meme. I think that means you've won the internet?
But granted, a number of people come here because they are looking for that elusive MMO that suits them well. I'm trying to create the separation between the types of players that come here asking for skill grinds, bitching because Industrials are not combat ships and who can't deal with the style of EVE, so they try to change it and those who love the HTFU attitude of EVE Online. |
