At 2:16pm on March 15th 2004, five years ago today, Eve University was founded by our CEO: Morning Maniac.
For those who don't know us, we have been described as one of the few truly altruistic corporations in New Eden. We take new players and teach teach them what is necessary to survive and be successful in Eve with scheduled lessons and events, guest lectures from external pilots, a supportive environment and a forum crammed full of information. And on top of this, we also provide ships, modules, ammo and skillbooks to our members, as well as various other initiatives.
Since that day five years ago, the University has gone from its humble beginnings as a place where some experienced players could interact directly with a handful new players, providing them the benefit of their experience, to what it is today, with thousands of instructive forum posts, weeks of recorded lessons, and hundreds of millions of ISK being spent a week on the student membership.
However, amongst all of this, one thing is clear - Eve University is not something that could exist without the support of the community and its members.
- Without the tireless work of our recruiters, we would not be able to accept new members without significant risk.
- Without the selfless members who have taken their own time to teach, we would have no lessons.
- Without the never-ending work of the logistics department, we would not be able to efficiently provide the resources to the membership.
- Without the members of the ILN, the Ivy League Navy, defence of the University would be considerably more difficult.
- Without Morning Maniac coming up with the idea and forming the corporation, may pilots in Eve would not be in the same positions they are today.
- And most of all, without the donations, support, and backing from the community at large, Eve University would be unable to continue at the level is has been doing.
What many current and ex-members are aware of is that Eve University is greater than the sum of its parts - it is not simply a corporation, an alliance, a forum, some servers, people who share their knowledge, or anything so simple. In a cut-throat universe with infinite potential for backstabbing, theft, espionage and destruction of peoples hard work, the fact that Eve University even exists can be quite surprising, but that neglects what E-UNI actually is.
The core of the University is altruism which Morning Maniac started 5 years ago and it transcends simple constructs like corporations and forums. Above all else Eve University is a concept, and you cannot wage war against such things. If somehow Eve University itself were to be disbanded tomorrow and all its assets disappeared, the concept would continue to exist, and I truly believe it will still exist until the last star in New Eden burns up the last of its fuel and goes dark.
The names and faces may have changed over the years, but Eve University is still the same concept it was those five years ago - experienced players giving back to the community and new pilots pooling their resources and learning amongst themselves. As New Eden changes, expands and evolves, Eve University will still be here, freely teaching those new players what they need to know to be a success.
So, to the community of New Eden on behalf of Eve University, its current, past and future students and staff, thank you for these last five years, and here's to another five.

Though the thin and thick, Eve University had been there igniting the touch for new players to see with.
I hope you have another 5 years producing the best of Eve.
Best wishes

Eve online was the first MMO I signed up to. I've been playing now for over a year, but without EVE Uni I wouldn't have stuck it past the trial.
New players in EVE could learn a lot by joining EVE Uni - the depth of experience provided by the instructors combined with the willingness to teach makes EVE Uni the premier learning institution of New Eden.

I've played this game for a little over a month now, and I bet I wouldn't have played over 14 days if I wasn't accepted into EUNI, given the help and lessons needed to survive, and the kindness of the instructors and fellow students to keep me playing past trial. Even after I leave EUNI I will always remember and respect the members, and hope to give back as much as the instructors have.

I was in E-Uni for over a year. I'll never regret it. Had I not joined, I'd have stopped playing EVE along time ago. I hereby endorse this corporation and its purpose.
For however much that counts.

Congrats, EVE Uni. o7
The mentors in your chat channel were even ready to help out non-member nubbins, like myself, when first learning to fly.
All the best for the future!

I tried EVE once before, a year or so ago, and lasted about a week before I gave up. This time I found EVE Uni and I'm still going strong months later. Without them I wouldn't be having the fun I am now.
To anyone wandering whether to join I would most heartily recommend giving them a shot. Everyone is friendly, willing to listen to and answer questions (no matter how stupid), and will help you out when you get into trouble. They're (very) forgiving of honest mistakes, and keep a hanger full of basic equipment to help you get on your feet in your first few weeks of EVE. And most importantly they run classes regularly helping you get to know every aspect of life in New Eden.
EVE Uni - it's like having an army of big brothers and sisters. With guns.

Thanks for everything, EUNI. Without you, i would have probably never converted my trial account into a full one. Your lessons and the things i've experienced while i've been here have made me addicted to this game! :)

Thanks for the start E-Uni, I wouldn't be here today without you.
May your ideals burn bright for as long as a single newbie exists in EVE.

Congrats.......
I would have left EVE for sure if it had not been for the UNI.
EVE has a steep learning curve and the UNI is there to help new players climb that hill.
Even for random players like myself who have been in the UNI for just over a year, I am constantly learning something new.
I enjoy passing on bits of knowledge and the communication in the channels is great.
Everyone needs a starting place and I can not think of better one than EVE University.

I was in week 2 of my trial when I found Eve University. I would surly have dropped the game at the end of the 2 week trial if it were not for this wonderful group of people.
Because of them, I quickly learned the basics of most everything that was available to me. I spent 4 months the UNI before I moved onto the bigger world that is this crazy and sometimes painful game. Thanks to everyone who helped me.
Happy 5th anniversary E-UNI!
PS, If I find any UNI members within my crosshairs in the future and I shoot you, just remember... I love you guys!

Eve Uni opens up parts of Eve that new users would otherwise have no idea about. Instead of passing your first days grinding missions at your starter location wondering where else you dare go, week old Unistas get to command fleets of 100 pilots in lowsec, take part in vast mining operations, and attend practical lessons in how to get the most out of New Eden. Long live the Uni! o7
