Don't fall down the cliff!

As a new citizen of New Eden, learning all of the gameplay mechanics, especially those of EVE, can be very difficult. 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 also recommended that you complete the tutorial missions before you join the University, as it will reduce redundant questions.

Again, 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".

Resources of help are available at several locations, such as this Wiki, the How-To Guides on the forum, The Eve University Class Library and Scheduled Live Classes, and of course live help via Chat.EUNI. The intended function of this Wiki page is to recommend to you guides, classes, and other resources most beneficial to new and experienced players alike.
