EVE University recommends folks share their experiences when they're leaving, and I'm happy to oblige. Within 24 hours, my 4-month membership will come to an end. Here are my observations during that time:

Pro:

  • Plenty of classes on game basics, well suited for EU timezones and some classes for US folk. Highly recommend DSCAN class!
  • Fleets very accommodating to new players. Great for learning, less great if you value keeping your ship alive.
  • Variety in fleet types available, whether you want to PvP, mine, explore WHs, etc.
  • Friendly atmosphere with active chat channels. Plenty of non-EUNI members in chat, which is usually a good thing.
  • Member events are hosted pretty regularly on the weekends and can be a lot of fun.
  • Lots of personal dedication from the officers and fleet commanders to keep E-UNI humming along. Respect.


Con:

  • E-UNI is constantly at war, making Hi Sec activity near home system very risky. E-UNI seems ill equipped to handle war targets with fancy ships. Some war is a great learning experience, but I saw little effort to keep members safe beyond "don't go to XYZ" messages.
  • Ship replacement program is lacking, since all but the newest players can afford to replace T1 frigates and cruisers.
  • Surprisingly little group activity to earn ISK. Most fleets/events were PVP-centric.


I'm not sure if this is a critique of E-UNI or EVE Online in general, but I was often bored while playing. E-UNI offered little in the way of (non-scheduled) pick-up activities, so I was generally on my own to find something to do. Other corps may do better in this regard, I'm not sure. They problem may also lay with me, being a more reserved person that doesn't often "make things happen."

In conclusion, I encourage any players that want to learn the basics of EVE Online to join E-UNI, at least for a little while. My first couple months were chalked full of learning.

When my friends told me about a player run corporation with people who spend their own time educating newer players about this game, I almost didn't believe them. I decided to join the uni after a week or so of playing, and this decision has greatly helped me learn the ins and outs of Eve Online. Eve University turns what may seem like an overwhelming amount of information to absorb for new players into organized classes, introducing various topics of Eve in 1-2 hour lessons. I think that for many players who don't have much experience learning intricate games with a steep learning curve, applying for Eve University will be the best decision you will ever make. For players who already have that personal drive to learn the game in their own time, Eve University will steer your attention in the right direction so you do not focus on the wrong subjects.

The constant wars are a hassle, but they usually limit their operations to the system where university headquarters is located. This system is surrounded by 4-5 other systems that include high quality agents for various corporations, so anybody complaining about the wars hampering their ability to mission have not truly done their research.

Depending on the type of player you are, your mileage with Eve University will vary. What I can guarantee is that your mileage with Eve University will be greater than your mileage trying to learn the game alone. I completely recommend all new (and even old) players who want to learn more about the game to check out Eve University.

Time for another bump! Having been gone for a couple weeks, though, I have few news to share.

A dragonslayer fleet -- an operation to destroy hostile capital ships -- happened this past night. I don't know the outcome, but at least that's something! Expect another in a couple weeks.

Regarding wars: As has been going on for some time, we have some wars coming and going along with our few wars that are rather persistent.

I have been playing since 06 and now lead Sadistica Alliance, a common frenemy of EVE Uni's Low Sec Camp. We usually fight each other twice a week, sometimes more, and often get into excellent fights. The LSC has surprised many Sadistica members, including myself with their skill and quality of fleet command. They expertly use their numbers to great advantage and often out maneuver or successfully counter maneuver our fleets. We respect them as adversaries and are happy to have such skilled neighbors.

If you're looking for a place to start your PVP career and learn how to fight, the LSC is a great place to get that foundation knowledge.

I started m y Eve days as a member of the UNI, and do not regret that decision one bit. There is something for everyone, and if you have a desire to learn as aspect of the game, there will be someone there to help you learn it. I highly recommend them for new or even returning players who want to figure out their niche.

Joining EVE University, being completely new to the game, was a great idea. It is one of the best places to start, if you have no prior experience within the game, since you get introduced to most of the games possibilities.

However, once you have gotten your feet wet, you will want to move on to a corporation that fits your play style.

But I recommend any newbies to apply to this corporation, since it is a great starting point for learning this game.

Just so anyone who needs to know we are having what we call a "Queue Smasher" event on Saturday at 19:00 EVE time and then again on Sunday at 16:00 EVE time.

What the heck is a "Queue Smasher" you ask?

Well I'm glad you asked.

It's a event we run about once a month or so where we gather in as many of our recruiters, POs (Personnel Officers) for a few hours and they pound away at our dreaded queue.

What does this mean for you? If you've been awaiting an interview then this weekend could be the time!!

Recruitment is always open.

Applying to EVE University

Some news: I've been working hard on making our recruitment process a little easier with less time spent waiting on your part.
We're also seeing some of our POs returning from their "Christmas" break, and we've just brought in a bunch of new POs so they'll be getting trained up and we'll have a fresh, eager batch of POs working that queue!

If you've recently applied we hope to see you soon!
