Hey all, I am making this thread to inform you that I have 10 buddy invites available to anyone who is interested in trying EVE. This invite will give you a 21 day free trial (over the 14 day trial). You will have to pm me or talk to me on ventrillo for an invite, I will also need an email adress to send it to. Anyways, here is some quick background and helpful information for all of you:
The races of EVE
There are four different races in EVE currently. The Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, and Minmatar. The Amarr empire is Allied with the caldari state, both of which are hostile towards the alliance that has been formed between the Gallente and Minmatar.
~ The Amarr are the largest and oldest of all the races and are led by a godlike emperor. The Amarrians control the most powerful military presence in EVE. They primarily use laser weaponry and armor defenses.
~ The Caldari are a state that has been built on capitalism and is held together by an alliance of large corporations. This Race uses a mix of weaponry such as missiles, blasters, and railguns. Unlike the Amarrians, the Caldari use defensive Shield technology.
~ The Gallente are the one true democracy in EVE, they defend those who cannot defend themselves and uphold their code. This race uses drones in both offensive and defensive roles much more often then the other three races. They commonly use blaster and railgun weapons and can use both shield or armor defensive systems effectively.
~ The minmatar are a tribal people who were once enslaved by the Amarrians for many hundreds of years. Now they are a resurgent group who despise and fight against the Amarrians. This race, like the Gallente, can use both shield and armor tanks effectively. The weapon types used by the minmatar varies between missiles, autocannons, and artillery cannons.
The ship hulls and ship classes of EVE
Each race has their own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to their ships. There are usually multiple of each hull type for each race aswell. The hull types available in order from smallest to largest are as follows:
(Combat)
Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, Battlecruisers, Battleships, Dreadnoughts, Carriers, Supercarriers, and Titans
(other/haulers)
Industrial, Mining Barges, Capital industrial, Freighters, and Jump freighters
These links will provide images as to what some of the ships look like for each race:

How to start your life in EVE
If you decide to join EVE Then I suggest you follow these steps:
1.) Complete ALL tutorials that affect what you plan on doing in EVE. EVE is a very complicated MMO that far surpasses the simpleness of other MMOs like WoW, LoTRO, etc
2.) join the edgegamers public channel [How to join the channel]---> Once you get into eve,go to the chat box(should be in the bottom left). Next click on the little thought bubble (top right of your chat box window). Once the channels tab is open type "edgegamers" (without the "") and click join. You should now be in our public channel where you can ask question and hopefully receive some help.
You can also come into the EVE channels on vent and ask for help, this may get you a quicker response.
3.) If you decide to pay for the game you can then apply to join the edgegamers corporation. Note that you can start paying for the game before your trial runs out. say you have 10 days left and you pay for a month. Instead of having a total of 30 days of game time it will be at 40.
Other information/videos
EVE releases DLC quite commonly, however unlike games such as World of Warcraft, EVE's DLC is always free to the players. The next upcoming DLC is named Incarna which will be adding the captains quarters, this allows you to leave your capsule and explore the station you are docked in. Along with this there are new turret animations and effects as well as some new ship models. Incarna will be released June 21st
