As a new citizen of New Eden, learning all of the gameplay mechanics can be difficult, as can be seen by this rendition of the learning curve. It is crucial that you complete the five part tutorial line offering missions in Military, Advanced Military, Business, Industry, and Exploration. To find these agents, access your NeoCom on the left, click on Help (the last button), and under Career Advancement, show Career Agents. It is a requirement that you complete the tutorial missions before you join the University.

Otherwise, welcome to the uni! All the players in the uni are still learning something about EVE, no matter how long they have been playing. The amount of skills any pilot has trained does not dictate how successful they will be; the only way to be successful is to make yourself successful by understanding game mechanics. As the university founder, Morning Maniac, has once said, "To me experience doesn't mean much at all. I've been in this game for 4 years, and success to me is not the amount of skill points. If you look at the big names in EVE and the people with the big wallets and the big reputations, they are not earned because they were particularly good at firing guns or missiles; it's because they are good at dealing with people, have good ideas that make them work either in Industry or PvP with strategic or tactical dealings and that's what makes you successful. Its really the guy behind the computer".

At Eve University, we provide resources, namely classes, that can help you understand the game better; hopefully launching you into a successful career in anything, as in EVE, anything is possible! This page will provide a list of guides and classes all new players or even experienced players should listen to. It is highly recommended that you download the syllabus for the class if it is available and take notes. If you see the class on the syllabus, hear the class, write down notes, you will remember.
