Hey everyone! The EVE Community Team is launching a new initiative designed to help new players get into EVE and learn how the world works faster and more efficiently. We're calling this initiative the Avengers Initiative. Wait, no. I mean it's the New Player Training Sessions!

Read all about it in this dev blog.

I wouldn't mind providing a little information for the rookies about how to fly tackle, interceptors and such

like.
1: How to tackle without dieing really really fast
2: how to hold tackle long enough for your friends to arrive, and not die really really fast
3: and maybe even how to not die really really fast when your in a small ship :D

For this to work you have to inform those "new players" such thing will take place, don't think many of them read devblogs.

Expanding this to include player instructors is something we're looking to do eventually.

My first few days in EVE i joined such a session of an Alliance named Rookie Empire. It was hell of a blast, learned lot of things. Being 3 days old i ventured with them into 0.0. The thrill i had, omg was fantastic. I succeeded to get back n highsec by myself without dieing, following some basic tips they gave me about warping to planets near gates first, scanning etc. Was so proud of myself. It was the longest hour of my life and the longest 20 jumps ever :DDD

BALEX, bringing piracy on a whole new level.

We will be doing this by advertising them in-game via rookie corporations and the Rookie Help Chat.

If you find a way to notify them about this event, good job!
Even better if they attend!
Keep up the good work!

That sort of experience is exactly the type we are aiming for with these sessions, particularly the organized fleets!

How will chat trolling and disruptive behavior that is not technically against the EULA or ToS be treated during the sessions?

As much as I love these kinds of things. 17:00 UTC is horribly early for the US folks. I am still at work at that time .Ugh
While I don't expect CCP To be up that late.

A good US TZ Session would be great. Could someone set something like this up too?


(Also, is there a way to search for corps with Timezones that fit Eastern US... I have to search twice: once only till 8pm my time and second 00:00 -> till I fall asleep time)

While I am an "Experienced" (as in I've been blown up more times than I care to recall) tackler. There's still things that I learn every day, especially after returning from a break.

Probably depends on if you're just cracking jokes or trying to ruin the event :). And a bunch of other factors.

If people are being disruptive in the chat channels, we will kick them from the channel. Other disruptive behavior will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis and it's really hard to give a blanket response that will cover all possibilities. In almost all cases we will warn players in-game that they are being disruptive and give them a chance to stop before we move on to having the GMs get involved.

We definitely want to do this. Right now we don't have the resources to do so, but if they prove to be popular we'll find a way to do things at a time that's better for our very large US following. This is part of the reason we are recording all the sessions and will be holding all our organized activities on weekends.

Interesting...

This sounds like our PvP-Basic class....

You can use our public wiki for some material if you like.

It was definitely inspired by stuff people like you guys do! In fact, there's a heavy possibility we'll be in touch in the near future.

Sounds good to me! Will these events eventually graduate into real lowsec roams or life fire exercises?

May I suggest the use of spawning rookie-pirate NPCs as demonstration targets for new players to test their mettle?

CCP and GMs have a lot more power to manipulate the game world to demonstrate various aspects and situations than player instructors do. :)
