As a new player looking to join the WHC, the amount of information can be overwhelming. EVE has existed for over ~~ten~~ years. There is a plethora of links, threads, and videos which sometimes can lead to more questions then they answer. One of the reasons why some newbros lose ships is that they were not prepared for the change of ~~gameplay~~ and demands of wormhole life.

As a new player looking to join the WHC, the amount of information can be overwhelming. EVE has existed for over fifteen years. There is a plethora of links, threads, and videos which sometimes can lead to more questions then they answer. One of the reasons why some newbros lose ships is that they were not prepared for the change of game play and demands of wormhole life.

The good news is that you don't need to have all the answers right now. That's why the Wormhole Campus exists!

As long as you have the [[Wormhole Campus#Joining the WHC|required skills to join]] and have read and understood this page, you are welcome to apply. The WHC community welcomes new campers, and lets them develop inside the WHC. With the guidance of existing campers, you get to make your choices after you've arrived.

While this should lower the threshold to apply for some, you should also be aware that life in a wormhole is diverse and your choices will either enable or disable your participation in the different activities. For example, you can join with a T2 Shield Tank, but a significant majority of ~~all site running and~~ PvP fleets are armor tanked. [[Guardian]] logi pilots are highly appreciated in PvP ~~and PvE~~, but if you can't fly T2 logi, T1 logi is useful as well. Alternatively, if you don't want to fly logi, you don't have to. Some of the popular threads on the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=236 WHC forum] make it sound like everything revolves around Strategic Cruisers, T2 armor logi, and ~~CovOps~~, but you will find that almost any ship has some use in wormhole life.

To participate in the most common activities you need an armor tanked battlecruiser with any kind of weapons, plus a scanning frigate. This will get you started and will let you get a grasp of what is going on and what to focus your training on by engaging in a range of different activities. For example a T1 battlecruiser such as a [[~~Brutix~~]] can participate in both PvP and PvE activities. A ~~CovOps~~ frigate can map out the wormhole chain, act as a picket, scout out wormholes for potential PvP, and even act as hero tackle on occasion.
