Here is a few noobie friendly tips and some information. This is not an action combat game it is more RTS then anything. This game is a point and click interface mingled with hotkeys. You will want to right click things to see your options and the different symbols on the overview window shows different types of objects. I advise just press f12 then click on career agents then set destination. The destination will appear in the left with a route and you right click the closest box to the left to warp there. Once you get a mission just click it in open space and warp there and if there is a jumpgate at the destination take it for the mission.
Ok you can pay your sub with game money and it really doesn't take that long to make it. As a new player I have made over 200 mil in 7 days. I need 1.3 bil to pay for a month sub. Vet players can make that 1.3 bil in one day fairly easy. The 30 day trial limits you a bit and if you paid for the first month with real cash then the second month is easily paid for with game money. The trade market isn't universal. So if you try to buy something in the corner of galaxy they will somemtimes have nothing to offer. You will have to haul yourself to the station that has the item for sale from other players.
The game itself is laid back and fun since you start in high security zones there is not much threat of player attacking you. Use the new player channel and learn the interface the game is setup real nice. You will want to click on the character portrait and click skill queue. Then drag skills over to the queue and make sure you get all of them to lvl 2 before joining a corporation. There are some skills that take over 2 real years to learn. Each character can train only 1 skill at a time. You will need special licenses to train more then 1 character at a time. Mess around buy ships use them learn the basics of the game because corporation gameplay is for more advanced players and you will not like it if you aren't prepared.
I have spent the past week learning how to farm so I can support my pvp. The world consists of more star systems then you can count and they are controlled by major corporations who are constantly fighting over them. So for new corporation players you want to learn where the border is and stay deep inside your own territory or you will die. The community on this game is amazing. The corporations themselves have new player help channels and ship builds they share. They are very organized and setup intel channels to inform of enemy sightings in each solar system. They even have different channels in the teamspeak for all the different things you can do ingame.
I will post more in this thread later to help with new things I learn or forgot to mention.

By someone who doesn't play or really understand how EVE works.
There are better sources of information.

EVE Flight Academy:
- RPG Quiz - can you get all 25 right?
- FPS Quiz - how well do you know your shooters?
One thing to keep in mind, focus on activities and ships your current training allows for else you'll go really crazy when time comes to train for the really advanced stuff.
Also, that feeling this would go a whole lot faster with another account is by design. I started with one pilot, within a month I had 2, fast forward 8 years and I pay for 6 subs.
Definitely expanded my game play options.
