The new EVE Online website has been deployed. It was first announced in this dev blog and further introduced in this video.
The old eveonline.com as we know it is gone, but we've moved the various resources and support tools from it, to the new community site:
community.eveonline.com
The deployment of the new sites is staged, which means that while some will see them immediately, for others it will take a little while longer.
Please take your time to browse both sites, we are eager to hear your feedback.

That's because the launch is staged. I'm told that anything up to an hour is considered normal while some will see it right away.
My CCP ip is picking it up right away and I'm gonna go ship spin 'til I throw up now

Yes the "EVE Websites" dropdown is the completely wrong place for it. If I'm not mistaken, there's one on the left hand side at the bottom. But I can see the logical thing to do is to put one up the top with the rest where it should be.
Noted. Keep the feedback coming.

I hope this sections gets revamped as well someday. Some grouping and a list with screenshot/logo and short intro text to introduce the fansite, creation or 3rd party application. I agree, too. Community site need to feel like new EVE online site, and not just copy paste. Or... only new players deserves good stuff and once you are in community no needs for updates for you.
Good news then. We are going to build a new Community site and the part I look forward to the most is to make a whole new fansite listing page which allows players to find the type of fansite they are after and improves the promotion of fansites. We don't like this old fansite page any more than you guys do ;). We have lots of ideas for the new fansite page and we're going to be talking to fansite operators at Fanfest among other things and discussing the way forward.
That being said, I think the current community site is a lot easier to navigate than the old EVE-O site. But that's just my opinion :)

That is actually the plan and I've noticed that we may not have managed to publicize our web strategy widely enough.
EVE needed a website that shows off EVE. Gives an instant glimpse into EVE. Instantly takes hold of the imagination and that sense of adventure that propelled us oldies into the game a long time ago. We need to reach new EVE players out there and help them realize that they belong in our universe. EVE has need that for a long time and she finally has it.
The old main site was a mixed bag of everything and nothing. It had something like 1020+ unique pages I was told, and I have to admit that after 9 years of working here, I still caught myself not finding stuff on occasion (maybe it was just this darned dev bar blocking my view...but I think I wasn't the only one who had some trouble with the navigation).
My opinion (your's may vary) is that the new Community site is a huge upgrade in terms of hosting easy-to-find resources for existing players and staff, although all of us here are fully aware that there is work to be done yet. This is an interim site while we build a completely new community site that will consolidate these resources and do absolute justice to the needs of info hungry pilots.
We've gotten a lot of good feedback and tips so far and they will be of great use moving forward. So keep it coming!

If only players would have read the devblog before commenting... It clearly says that showoff site will be published first, new community site later. so you think that the new community.eveonline.com hasn't been published yet?
The new interim community site yes, the final one we'll spend most of the year building probably...nope :)
