== '''First: '''Chat channels and their use ==

Note: Before speaking in any channel be sure to read the MOTD to understand the purpose and rules of the channel.

You will be automatically ~~added~~ to the Corp and Alliance chat channels. Through your interview with a personnel officer, you should have been welcomed to the Chat.E-Uni channel as well as some others. It is recommended that remain in this channel as well as Q&A.E-Uni as both are good places to ask for advice and help.

You will be automatically joined to the Corp and Alliance chat channels when you accept your invitation to the Uni. Through your interview with a personnel officer, you should have been welcomed to the Chat.E-Uni channel as well as some others. It is recommended that remain in this channel as well as Q&A.E-Uni as both are good places to ask for advice and help.

During wartime, which is a normality for the University, you should join LiveIntel.ILN in order to see reports of war target locations. On this channel you can report any war target activity as well, so long as you follow the rules in the MOTD for posting.

*"Corp" chat tab is used to request skillbook reimbursement, hangar requests, etc. This is also where questions about university policies or clarifications about where to ask should go.

*"Alliance" chat tab is for fleet formation. You should only be typing in Alliance to form or join a fleet. To understand how fleets are formed in alliance please read [[The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops]]. If you still have questions please ask them in corp chat. You will also see events or classes announced in this channel.

*"Q&A.E-UNI" is a chat-free question and answer channel. Feel free to ask all sorts of questions there. You will find it free of chat so your important questions will not get lost in the constant din of social chatter in other channels.

*"LiveIntel.ILN" is a place where information about current enemies is posted. The password is found under NeoCom -> Social -> Corporation -> Alliances -> Bulletins. Read the Message of the Day at the top, and pay attention to warnings that effect your area of EVE.

*"Mess.ILN" is a chat channel restricted to Uni members. It is focused on PvP but is also used for general socialising. It is the only general chat channel with any form of opsec (only current members can see its contents). Questions about anything happening in Alliance should be asked here as well as advice on all things PvP.

Other channels can be found here [[Chat Channels and Mailing Lists]].

You will also want to read through how to [[Tips For War]], a most excellent write-up with a link other wiki pages and the forum.

It is very important to understand that while we will do our best to teach you to be safe, the overall responsibility for your safety is your own. If you are nervous, have questions or just want some help, please feel free to ask in Chat.E-Uni or consider joining one of the campuses where help will be abundant. For new players, the [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Highsec_Group HSG] is a great place to start.
