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

You will be automatically added to the Corp and Alliance chat channels. It is ~~highly~~ recommended that ~~you also join Chat~~.E-~~UNI~~ and LiveIntel.ILN as well~~. Be sure~~ you ~~check out what is listed~~ in ~~each channel's~~ MOTD ~~(Message of the Day) as they contain important notes, reminders, and some links relevant to each channel~~.

** 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.

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.

The below channels are password protected. The password can be found [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23156 here].

*"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]].
