Getting started into EVE Online and the New Eden Universe is sometimes a challenge and sometimes people lose track - especially in the beginning - of all the exciting options this incredible place here has to offer.

The EVE community offers a wealth of tools, groups and organizations to assist new players and make sure that their start into EVE Online is successful and a fun experience.

EVE University is amongst all these educational organizations one of the oldest, most respected and very successful. Learn more about EVE University, how they began, what they can offer and how they share their wealth of information with everyone.

Many thanks for the very nice spotlight, CCP Games! We're flattered by the attention.

The UNI lives to serve the entire EVE Online community. We simply want people to have more fun playing the game. If anyone would like to teach a class or do a guest lecture on our public Mumble channel, please let me know - any topic is welcome!

I've never been a member of EVE University, but their wiki was an immense help to me when I was a newbie, and it's still my first resort when I have a question.

Great job, guys! You're a credit to the game.

Thanks so much for doing this spotlight.

We hope to continue helping new players, and can always use a hand teaching classes or adding wiki content.

EVE Uni was the first player corporation i joined. Was a very educational experience, as they were wardecced non-stop by mercenary corps for a whole month right after I joined. They struggled to activate a "wardec shield" w/o CCP noticing because it was forbidden, to no avail. All educational operations were disrupted and noobs were suggested to jump corporations in case they wanted to play the game.

So my first experience with corporations in EVE was:

- no way to do anything mulitplayer because of wardec disruption
- CCP forbids do-gooder corps to protect themselves from griefing
- CCP doesn't gives a **** of noobs trying to learn to play the game
- jumping corps is easy but kinda of self-defeating
- it's better to play alone than with the wrong company

That was in 2008. I guess that things have improved now, but, here's my experience in case you don't know what kind of jerks used to be CCP. Bear

Our approach to wars is entirely different since that time. We have been under war conditions for probably 95%+ of the last year, and are functioning. We actively try to help new players learn to play under war conditions while in highsec, and have many more options for them in other areas. Our players are free to go out and play with war targets, or go and try to do their own thing. A lot of our players now live in satellite campuses in areas like nullsec, lowsec, or w-space that give them entirely different learning opportunities.

This is pretty much the only bit that's true.

And getting used to wardec conditions is not a bad thing.

The Eve Uni wiki is /really/ useful as a reference.

Woo! CSM XI!

Eve Uni hates fun so much they don't even let their FCs get drunk on the job.
