Hi dear capsulers!

The free pdf version of Industrial-Sized Knowledgebase (ISK) Vol. 1 has been updated in line with the print edition and is now available to download from www.isktheguide.com. Aside from the need for a digital display device to read it and a few discreet reminders that it’s also available to buy in hard-copy form – which to be fair, if you value your printer, is worth considering – it is page-for-page identical to the edition that is on sale from the EVE Store. http://store.eveonline.com/ISK-30-Volume-1-P327.aspx

We’ve also reformatted it to display single-pages rather than those double-page spreads that seemed to upset so many people.

Some of you chaps have been asking when Vol. 1 will be updated and I can confidently predict that it probably won’t be until the end of the year until we even think about adding all the Incarna changes with regard to contraband and establishments (assuming contraband and establishments are in place by then). As for the PvP-focused ISK Vol. 2 that’s in production… well, it’s still being written. Given that we’re told by CCP to expect an overhaul of 0.0 mechanics at some indeterminate point in the future, it’s not something we plan to rush out the door. Therefore whether ISK Vol.2 will come before a second edition of Vol. 1 is impossible to say. It all comes down to how and how fast the game develops, so let’s go with a vague 2012 for both and leave it at that.

I don't like how theres adverts every other page in the PDF, its mildly annoying and I think it takes up too much space. Also, Volume 1 lacks a lot of information last I checked.

For most things, EVElopedia is actually better, ive found. Theres no way I can justify buying the book when its bound to go out of date at some point.

I have not purchased the paper copy but I believe that the way they were able to make this free is with the adverts. If the paid copy had adverts then that's a shame.

They spent the time working on this and are nice enough to offer a free version. Adds or no adds i would still say its a good deal.

Three ISK for the Guristas under the sky,
Seven for the Blood Raiders in their halls of stone,
Nine for Minmatars doomed to die,
One for the "Dark Lord" on his "Ice" throne
In Iceland where the volcanos lie.
One Guide to rule them all, One Guide to find them,
One Guide to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of EVE where the ISK The Guide.
