As a GDI (God Damned Independent) for my first few years in Eve, I was always on the lookout for open groups to PVP with. It turns out there were and are many groups and events that anyone can participate in without leaving their corp. Here is a guide to those I'm aware of:
Frequent Events
RvB Weekly Ganked Nights Mailing list: "RVB Ganked" Killboard: http://rvbganked.co.uk/kills/?a=home Site: http://mangala.rvbganked.co.uk/ RvB Ganked roams into 0.0 happen nearly every weekend. They are often led by Mangala Solaris or a guest FC. Each roam has a different theme. Although organized and dominated by RvB members, anyone is welcome to attend.
Bomber's Bar Mailing list: "Bombers Bar" Chat channel: "Bombers Bar" Article: http://themittani.com/features/bombers-bar This loose affiliation of pilots started as an open channel that anyone in Eve could join to participate in bombing ops in 0.0. Recently they seem to have expanded into other types of fleets as well.
Agony Unleashed Classes and Alumni Roams Mailing list: "AGONY PVP UNI" Enrollment for Courses and Alumni Roams: http://www.agony-unleashed.com/ Agony is an independent small-gang PVP corp that has offered 0.0 PVP classes for over 6 years. Nearly 10,000 unique students have taken their classes. After taking a class, students become alumni and are welcome to join alumni roams for free.
Infrequent Events
If you keep your ear to the ground (follow the various Eve forums and player blogs) and you will see plenty of opportunities to PVP without being beholden to any group. Sometimes CCP even announces player events. Many of these events include prizes donated by other players, corps, and Eve sites. CCP Announcements: http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/eve-online-news/ Players announce events here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=topics&f=2938 Other forums with event announcements: http://failheap-challenge.com/forumdisplay.php?11-Eve-General http://www.reddit.com/r/eve
Tuskers' Frigate FFA These are posted on individual Tusker members' blogs; for example: http://www.evealtruist.com/2013/04/tusker-frigate-ffa-3.html http://eveoganda.blogspot.com/2013/04/tusker-frigate-free-for-all-3-announced.html Newest one is coming up May 4th. The Tuskers provide security in a lowsec system for an all-day free for all PVP environment. Much of the PVP is frigates only, although larger ships are allowed later in the day.
Flight of 1,000 Rifters, hosted by Marlona Sky These tend to be announced on various player forums, got example: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=44946&find=unread A new one is coming up soon: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=225361 Originally inspired by Kirith Kodachi's event, Marlona undocks a flashy (legal target) cap ship in lowsec as a lightning rod for PVP. Some players shoot it, some organize to rep it, everyone shoots each other, alliance blocks cyno in cap fleets, and mayhem occurs.
Kirith Kodachi's BMTHOKK events http://www.ninveah.com/2011/08/bring-me-head-of-kirith-kodachi-ii_15.html I'm not sure if these are done any more, but see the description of Marlona's events.
DeathRaces: Hosted by Rixx Javix and/or Tuskers http://eveoganda.blogspot.com/search/label/Death%20Race Originally conceived and run by Rixx Javix, they are now run by the Tuskers since he has joined them. Participants fly a set course to race around the galaxy. Others try to intercept and kill the racers.
FHC Ganknights http://failheap-challenge.com/showthread.php?11787-GANKNIGHT-MARGARET-THATCHER-MEMORIAL-FLIGHT-13-APR-18-00 These used to be monthly roams into 0.0, but are extremely infrequent now (maybe once a year if the organizer doesn't ragequit between the event announceme... |

Cool
I always wanted to get into an Agony Unleashed Starter Class. I was never able to secure a spot, I was always too late to sign up till i finally gave up trying. After 4 1/2 years of playing I'm so lousy at PVP I simply avoid it (or die trying) and find other things to do.
Maybe I'll look at RvB, and see what's happening there...

Nice compiled list, and I've made note of some of them to take a look at and try to participate. :)
Also, for the CCP Live events, you might want to include the @EVE_LiveEvents twitter for updates on current events. (Even though not all of these RP events are PVP oriented) |

Thanks, mate! Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Do it. RvB was some of the best fun I've had in Eve. No politics, no BS, just explosions. |

The Agony PvP-Basic classes don't fill up anywhere near as fast as they used to. First one I got on was full in under 8 minutes, takes days to fill up the class now, make of that what you will - personally I reckon there's just less real people playing Eve now.
Best bet is to sign up to their mailing list for notification of upcoming classes, with the exception of things like Skirmishing/Covops/Bomber classes you won't have any issues getting on the class. |

The Agony classes are unmissable. Cant recommend them enough. The fee is nothing more than a token to deter time wasters, in terms of value for isk.
Awesome post! "Jita 4 4 spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious ..." |

Haha yeah I didn't see that when I wrote it. Well I guess they rarely use battleships so that works too... |

Big +1 on the OP.
Its nice to see posts doing positive things to encourage trying PvP rather than all the "NERF HI-SEC" posts. |

Glad to see Ganked make the list.
Awesome fun. Awesome FCs. Glorious explosions. Very accesible to all.
Themes are usually hilarious, so are voice coms (seems those silly UK guys are always drunk) and there are prizes provided by SOMER Blink |

Tons of the fleet comes from RvB, but we also get a lot of great guys/gals from other corps/alliances. Agony is a very active participant, and sometimes we get one of their FC's to lead us. Went on a Ganked a few weeks ago lead by GrayGal(sp?) from Agony. Awesome FC that loved to whelp the fleet.
Im sure Mangala, other RvBers and Agony can attest to the awesomeness, as well as any participant. |

Well i never joined RvB myself as i more like the ''regular'' pvp where one side is unaware ... in some cases me in some cases the other one and i also prefer low-sec and null-sec for pvp.That said the general ''fun times is what its about'' atttitude off RvB mixed with an open fleet in low-sec / null can only be an evening well spent.
Specially with some ts and booze :)
Till my neck in work atm but in a few weeks when i got some more free time again i am def gonna hop along a few times.

Tuskers also advertise (some) roams in our Public Channel's MOTD at "The Tuskers Public Channel". There is a large number of solo & small gang PvPers who hang around in there with us so it's a good place for discussions about ship fittings etc. |

Gave the "bombers bar" a shot and I am loving it.
FC's are very patient. They educate new pilots. Give it a shot. The group works extreamly well together the vast majority of the time. Due to the nature/makeup of the group there are a few situations where the FC's struggle to "herd cats." They do very well getting the group re-assembled and focused.
Hats off to them for their efforts. |
