| Welcome to EVE Online! You are now a citizen of New Eden, an exciting and dangerous virtual world. This guide will lead you through your first few days in EVE. For a more general list of topics new players should know about, see the [[New Player Index]].

| == Introduction to EVE ==
| |
| EVE is a game unlike many other MMOs. It doesn't just have unique mechanics, but doesn't follow many of the conventions of other games. Therefore it may be a good idea to familiarize yourself with some of the core aspects of the game, in order to have a better idea of what to expect:

| == Accounts ==

| {{main|Accounts}}
| |
| To play EVE you must first [https://secure.eveonline.com/signup/ create an account]. Your account name doesn't show up anywhere in game, and you can have up to three characters per account. You can have as many accounts as you like.
| |
|
| |
| If you were invited to EVE by a friend (i.e. have a [https://secure.eveonline.com/recruit/ referral link]), use it when creating your account, as you will get some free [[Skills and Learning|skill points]] (equivalent to about 2-6 weeks of training time).
| |
| Even if you were not invited you can use a public invitation link. Those are often shared by streamers and youtubers. Use a search engine to find those. Additionally, your friend will receive a reward. It's possible to invite yourself to create additional accounts.
| |
|
| |
| Sadly, sometimes accounts are hacked. Observe [https://www.eveonline.com/de/article/account-security basic security considerations] to prevent this. On top of that, you should use [https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/203465601-Authenticator Two-Factor Authentication].
