Interested in Playing Eve Online?
Great! You can get started by using the thirty day trial link from the sidebar on the left.
Did You Just Start Playing EVE Online?
Welcome to EVE Online and congratulations on starting your career. Although EVE Online is famous for having a notoriously difficult learning curve, CCP Games have invested a tremendous amount of time and effort to improve the experience for new players.
During your first thirty days in Eve Online, you shall automatically join the in-game chat channel Rookie Help whenever you start the game. This channel, which is staffed by Gamemasters and ISD Star members, is where you can ask any questions you have about the game. You can also post your questions on the EVE New Citizens Q&A forum.
Frequently Asked Questions
CCP Games have created a comprehensive Eve Online New Pilot FAQ that has answers to frequently asked questions by new EVE Online players. Although there are a few sections in the Eve Online New Pilot FAQ that are out of date, we still recommend that you go through it because for the most part the information it provides is still useful.
Learn About the Eve Online User Interface
Experienced players often joke about how Eve Online is basically a game of spreadsheets in space. Since EVE Online's user interface, though much better now than it used to be in previous years, can resemble a spreadsheet when you are starting out, the Brave Dojo team have put together a tutorial that will help you learn about the user interface.
Set up Your Overview
Since the overview is what you use to view and organize items in space, it is absolutely essential that you set it up and learn how to use it as soon as possible. Almost all players prefer to install an overview pack that sets up their overview automatically instead of taking the time to configure each setting manually.
Opportunities
Opportunities were released in 2015 to improve the experience for new players. Since you do not get any rewards right now for completing opportunities, we recommend that you complete the easier opportunities and then focus on getting started with the career agents.
Run the Career Agent Missions
All four of the major factions have five career agents in each of their three starter systems that offer mission arcs which will introduce you to the major careers in Eve Online. To see a list of the career agents that are available to you, press F12 to open the Help menu and click on the Show Career Agents button.
You should run all the missions offered by each of the career agents because not only will you learn more about the different careers, you will also earn a reward whenever you successfully complete an accepted mission.
Run the Sisters of Eve Epic Mission Arc
The Sisters of Eve epic mission arc is a level one epic mission arc with fifty missions that are intended to be run by new players. What makes an epic mission arc unique is that you can choose between missions at various points in the arc.
This means that there are multiple paths that you can take to complete the arc and that the missions and their rewards depend on the choices you have made. The Blood-Stained Stars walkthrough is an excellent resource that will help you in running the Sisters of Eve epic mission arc.
Join a Corporation
Playing Eve Online alone is not as much fun as when you are playing it with a group of friends. This is why there is an opportunity encouraging new players to join a corporation after they have finished running the Sisters of Eve epic mission arc.
If you would like to join one of the corporations in our alliance then please check out these links:
