This is a recreation of the former "Guide & Important links Datastorm" that has become quite outdated as time has passed. This new version will contain a lot of different things, ranging from useful hotlinks to guides for those that need them. If you have a contribution or something that should be added, send us a PM and I'll get on it. If you believe that discovery is lacking a tutorial on a certain subject or game mechanic, you can write one yourself and link it to me, or, alternatively, send me a message and I'll see if I can write one up.
