Players start the game by choosing a character that was previously created or by creating a new one. Each Eve Online account allows up to three characters. When a player creates a new character, they start by choosing one of four races that can be played - Amarr, Gallente, Minmatar, or Caldari. Each subsequent race is divided into three bloodlines which give different characters a predetermined appearance, which can be finely tuned by the player.

Unlike many other MMOs, where there are multiple copies of the game universe that are intended to be run at once (e.g. Server), Eve Online is functionally a single universe game. Technically there are four copies of the running universe: the main server "Tranquility", the Chinese-based "Serenity", the "Duality" test server event which is a semi-public test server, and the "Singularity" (also "Side") test server which is the server general and general test. A new test server was announced named "Buckingham" to replace "Singularity" as the EVE Online test server while "Singularity" was used for the combined Dust 514 / EVE Online test. Because DUST 514 is no longer active, "Singularity" is now the main test server again and "Buckingham" is a closed testing server for CCP developers.
