1 .
When you first open the game you\'ll notice that it has a very "point and click" oriented interface. The opening tutorial will walk you through all the basic functions of movement and interaction.
2 .
Run some NPC missions to earn some cash is the first thing you should do. The game is very open, and there are lots of dangers out in lower security space, so stick around the first few star system until you feel confident enough to venture out a bit.
3 .
Set yourself some skills to train. You don\'t earn experience in this game by killing enemies or completing quest, only by running skills to learn in real time do you earn new abilities. They run even when you\'re out of game, so you\'ll probably always want some sort of skill training, and they tend to take a while to finish (from hours to weeks).
4 .
Interact with other players in chatrooms. Be sociable and be alert. It\'s a massive "multiplayer" game for a reason.
5 .
Find a corporation to join as soon as you can. Corporations are Eve\'s version of clans. Because the game is economically oriented, corporations hold most of the money (called ISK) in the game, and can help jump start your game life with skill books, ships, and money.
