RPG Vault and EVE developers take a look at the five biggest misconceptions potential players have about the game. They are:

• Newbies will never stand a fighting chance against old players
• EVE is only about combat
• Mining is the only way to earn money as a rookie
• You can't enjoy the game if you aren't in a major alliance
• EVE is not meant for casual players

The fleshed out reasons why the above are not true is available at RPG Vault.
