This looks like an excellent corp and would like to join. I played for 3 or 4 months several years ago. I rerolled since I was having a lot of trouble getting used to the game again and was getting grief for having a 3 year old character and not knowing anything. I am about 16 days in on this new character. I was never very good at PvP and am eager to learn. I have already applied at an office. |

I'm proud to have been in E-Uni and always guide RL friends who start EVE, to join E-Uni. These guys are the better than the tutorial.

By far the single best move you can make early on in the game is to join Eve University.
I started EvE and played for a couple months, but had to quit due to RL before I could really get into it. Upon returning a RL friend pulled me into E-Uni and from there I couldn't stop learning. I spent 16 months in Eve Uni, most of it as a recruiting officer helping other rookies start their path on the right foot. The amount of knowledge and information about the game that you can learn from your time with them is simply astounding.

Edited by: Pallidum Treponema on 13/02/2009 11:16:48 Eve University got me started on pvp, and look where that got me. :)
I joined Eve University early on in my eve career. This was when E-UNI was part of the alliance Big Blue, holding two stations in the IPS constellation in Geminate.
Back then, E-UNI was part of a 0.0 alliance, and as nullsec spaceowners, we often had hostiles show up on our doorsteps. This caused many of the pvp classes (who were still held in empire space for the most part) to turn into live fire exercises. This is what got me hooked on pvp.
As the Big Blue fell apart, I joined the Four Horsemen, the premier pvp corp of Big blue. I flew with them, still learning and using the tactics and skills I picked up from my time in E-UNI. Eventually, I rose to the rank of director in Four Horsemen, and was even doing a bit of FCing.
Sadly, Four Horsemen also fell apart and I ended up joining KIA Corp, still not part of the alliance. I flew with KIA for some time, rising to director even in that corporation. As KIA grew into a full alliance, I was regularly among the top killers of the corporation.
After a while, it was time to move on, and I joined FRICK, a corporation within the Mercenary Coalition alliance - then the premier mercenary alliance in the game and, despite its relatively small size, a much respected pvp force. Ironically, it was Mercenary Coalition who had defeated Big Blue and in part caused its downfall. Still, MC had a great deal of respect from the pilots, especially E-UNI, who had fought in the defence of their home, far better than many so called pvp alliances.
In my time in MC, I was once again promoted to director in my corp, and I not only managed to grind the ISK and skills to be able to fly a carrier, I was also asked by my corp to take over the ship of a departing member. This ship was a Wyvern class mothership.
I'm now part of the Against All Authorities alliance, and while I'm no longer flying the Wyvern, I've managed to acquire a Nyx class mothership instead, as well as a carrier and a dread. I'm still flying my interceptor though, using the same skills and tactics as I used in E-UNI with my trusty Merlin.
I know that many new players are looking at the eve universe and are feeling more than a little intimidated by how huge it is. They look at their frigates, and imagine that they'll never be able to take part in the epic battles with hundres of ships on either side. That is not true - there are plenty of corps out there who are more than willing to take on new pilots and send them out to fight.
You may not be able to fight in the biggest battles at first, but with a good start, a bit of patience and some hard work, you'll easily get in on some nice fleet fights. Eve University is that good start. You could do a whole lot worse than joining up with them. |

I'm new to the game, and just put an app in.
I was just wondering how a player wanting to get into 0.0 PvP would fare in E-UNI? I'm a very fast learner if it helps any. Only been playing a few days, but already trained Cybernetics I for Implants, got Learning to Lv3, fitted my Ammarr Frigate with armor boosting low slot items to make missions easier, got Afterburners trained up, and am currently training Ammarr Frigate from Lv4 to Lv5 (11 days left ) so I can get into Tech2 Frigates. I figure being new it'd be best for me to get good with Frigates first and get into Tackling, and while doing that slowly make my way up into the bigger ships.
I'm only asking because on the website it said that IVY members aren't even allowed to go into 0.0 space, and me wanting to train for 0.0 combat, I feel like I might be shunned off or something

Yes, E-UNI have our own login screen advert.
This goes with the frankly excellent print advert we had in last months copy of E-ON magazine (pg. 69), which also featured an Alliance Profile article on Ivy League, among other things.
If you are a new player or hardened vet, drop in our public channel and have a chat! _____

Our policies state that members aren't allowed in 0.0 space unless as part of an event or project - this avoid us having problems where new players wander around war-zones and annoy both sides of a conflict.
However, we just re-launched what was our 'Low-Sec Apprenticeship' project, which as become the ominous sounding 'Division 6'. This initiative includes low-sec survival, should soon include access to 0.0 space for its members, and from March 10th it will also include wormhole exploration as well as teaching the skill needed to live in deep 0.0 space for extended periods. _____

Armond, feel free to evemail me and let me know why you believe that to be the case, and I'll see what I can do about it. Of course, you could also just join us for a while and find out for yourself. ;)
Anyway, something we get asked a fair bit is what do we do with all the members once they have graduated - we provide a "Work Fair" forum area, where outside corporations can recruit from our members, somewhat similar to this area, but with a bit more of a targeted audience.
Those looking to recruit from our members can register on our forums and post their advert, and all that we ask is that they speak to our Director of Diplomacy, and discuss standings with us.
Of course, we can't have any 'preferred' adverts, or suggest members choose one corp over another - to make things fair its a level playing field, no matter if you are a 1 man corp of a 4,000 member alliance. _____

Quote: Experienced Players Do you wish to give something back to the Eve community? Would like to give your game more meaning than the next wallet entry, dead NPC rat, or 0.0 system taken? Become a faculty member at Eve University. You will find teaching and mentoring new players a very rewarding experience, while still being able to enjoy the game. Our criteria for more experienced players is a willingness and desire to help and instruct new players, and to support Eve University's mission.
I was a member of Eve University for 18mths; 15mths I taught classes, I become hanger manager and was promoted to a directors position and held this position for 12mths.
If I had access to a post I had made once on the Uni Forums, expressing what my Experience in the Uni was like, I would of pasted that. But...my memories have been taken away, without warning and for no hostile action on my part.
Something that surprised me when I left the Uni was the lack of everyday Etiquette and Common Courtesy amongst the Uni Leadership. Unlike Dee who said you never really leave; the day you leave is the day you have all access completely removed, without notice not even a thank you note for all the fish.
Some of you may say bitter much or cry me a rain have some cheese with your whine. I agree with you this is a whine, yet my experience, Cazzah has a post asking for people to post their experience this is mine, nothing more. ps. and Kelduum can't delete this one, just because he may not like it.
People always said the work ones does for the Uni is thankless job, those words can be Truer than words never spoken.
If you are a member of the Uni and do get sucked into the Uni is a giving, sharing and caring corp. that they falsely portray. Don't except to be treated with any respect nor thanked for any work you may do or have done. When you leave your knowledge becomes a threat to the Uni and is not wanted.
The Uni survives and is run by very few of the leadership actually doing any work at all. Their are many in the leadership roles who do not log in for months, some scream ahh R/L = Eve, if you are the coach of the local football side and don't show up for the match or training, you would get removed,not in Eve Uni.
However those who do show up to do work to do the work (Teach Class; FC Fleets, Run Mining Ops) get removed anyway. Go Figure? because I can't work that one out. Oh Wait I have worked it out, some people have extremely small p....s and need to extend them, so they hold a position they have no intention to actually doing what the job description states; they do it just hold the title.
I believe thank you notes and thoughtfulness is the single best methods of opening doors and keeping them open when endeavouring to establish and maintain a relationship, both personally and professionally.
MM if you read this I know you of people will act on this and start teaching Etiquette 101 and Common Courtesy 101.
I do thank MM for creating Eve Uni, I am grateful, so thank you. Happy Fifth Birthday Eve Uni and MM.

I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. I'm not sure if you're referring to forum access, which was recently automatically purged for all members no longer in the uni, even people like Dee Carson and myself! I know this isn't so much the place to discuss this but I felt it should be said.
Whether the leadership has problems is not something I feel qualified to judge. But I will say this. To say that you left the uni with no respect or goodwill would be to underestimate your enormous contribution from the corp and the effect it has had on everyone.
Me, and many other students, will always remember the work you have done, and will never forget you as a result. If you ever need a favour done, we will rally to answer.
You were my first teacher, and you taught me to tackle a ship. And so it was for many others.
When I posted about the Australian bushfires, one of the first comments was - is Acacia ok? And that was about 6 months after you left.
For most people in New Eden, they look back and say to themselves - "What did I really accomplish?" - in the end, all their hard work was frittered on getting themselves better internet spaceships, and blowing up other people'a spaceships. You however, can stand tall, knowing that you have made a difference to so many as you shaped their destiny in Eve, and we will always remember that.
You'll always be blue to me and many others Acacia. Never think that the work you did was unappreciated.

As for continuing to recruit, we'd like to thank Sinqlaison for his generous donations to the university and sponsoring our students through their first steps into Eve. In addition, our ads on the login screen have met with tremendous sucess - our recruiting officers are flooded! Expect to hear from us soon as our anniversary comes up.

Edited by: Loch Verus on 23/02/2009 13:54:13 Edited by: Loch Verus on 23/02/2009 13:53:47 Acacia, lots of folks have left the Uni over the years, some under happy circumstances some under less the happy ones. It is the way of adhoc conglomerates in online games. That however doesn't mean that you were not well remembered.
Despite whatever disagreements you might have with the Uni leadership, all of us who were lucky enough to fly with you remember you fondly. I hope someday my heart rate will go down enough so I can be half as calm as you were leading Uni fleets. That competent, patient, and calm voice on TS (and dare I say a a little .. sexy?) was a gift sent from god to eve newbies in their first wars, shaking with excitement and ready to tackle any gate and billboard in sight.
My point is this, I'm sorry you feel that Uni doesn't recognize your efforts, but you are wrong. All of us who were in the Uni at that time know how much you've done and love you for it. If there are people in the leadership you had disagreements with, they are the exception, not the rule.
And that brings me back to the Uni and my experiences there. The reality is that the Uni has its faults, it is run by humans who have faults, and that makes it no different then any other human endeavor. I will even go out and say that I left the Uni feeling marginalized and slighted. And you know what .. I still support the Uni.
At the end of the day the Uni is a unique corporation, not only to eve but the MMO world. Look beyond its faults, and if you are a new player don't walk but run to a recruitment office. The wealth of information and the camaraderie are like nothing else in MMOs

I could sign most of what Acacia mentioned, add some more, but... why bother, TBH? E-Uni is what it is and serves a distinct purpose in its current form. One might not be too flustered with all the implications that have been mentioned above. One might even regret some of the effort spent there. But even that is all part of the learning process to some extent then... Just don't expect to be entitled to any thanks, that's part of it.
There is no free lunch, much less so in EVE-O. One of the valid lessons of E-Uni. Another would be that you need to adapt or die. Adapting meaning in this case to get out quickly in time eventually. Glad I made it, and glad you did, too, Acacia. <3

Edited by: Asuri Kinnes on 24/02/2009 17:56:56 I spent from February through November of 2008 in the Uni. A friend mentioned Eve Uni. I checked it out and entered. I Don't regret that decision a bit. Helped out in chat when I knew something, led a couple of fleets, and met a metric-tonne of good people. Didn't AGREE with them all the time - but that was part of it..
As important as getting into a good corp is (and how hard it is for newbies to even begin to sort through the clutter of corps...) I can recommend the UNI without reservation.
Keep in mind, its a learning institution - your expected to get and give help, learn and teach, and - when its time, to move on.
Props to Morning Maniac for doing this Five Years ago. Props to everyone who helped me, and here's to seeing the Uni in 5 more years!
EDIT: Acacia has the BEST voice in Eve! Honor is that which you do when no one else is looking.
Ethics, Honor and Respect. Without the first two, you can't buy the last one...

As much as it pains me (and I mean actual physical blood spilling injury pain) to agree with Kenny and Barbie I find pretty much all Acacia & co says to be spot on and theres not really much more I can add to it.
While the majority of the players there are very nice and the "middle management" types are generally cool, there are several especially (not all) directors dont seem to care or appreciate any work done to help and are more interested in making themselves feel like they are super important and the Uni is some huge part of EVE when the reality of it is, when head is removed from ass the majority of people in EVE couldnt give 2 ISK about the Uni.
Also medals were introduced especially to the game for the Uni and therefore they have a responsibility to use them maturely, medals are srs bsns.
