Joining when EVE University is at war
As a large group with lots of inexperienced players, EVE University can seem an attractive target. Some corporations declare war on EVE University in order to try to get easy kills on their killboard.
Sometimes we also have mutual wars for training our members and/or for fun. War and PVP combat is an important part of EVE Online which we want our members to be prepared for and therefore it is a good training scenario.
EVE University rarely declares war on other corporations, but will react swiftly when aggressed. We strive to end 'unfriendly' wars quickly, but it is impossible for us to avoid being eligible for war entirely.
How can you tell if EVE University is at war?
To check whether EVE University is currently at war, search for Ivy League (the Alliance EVE University belongs to) under the 'Contacts' tab in game.
Then right click on Ivy League and select “Show info”.
This will bring up a profile of information on Ivy League as below. Select the “War history” tab and look at the top of the list for any active or pending wars.
Eve University is rarely at war but it can still happen.
In the unlikely event that we are in an active war when you join, check out how to Avoid Losses to War Targets and Wartime Operations in EVE University before accepting the Corporation Invitation.
When we are at war, you will see a crossed swords icon on the top left of your screen.
Once you are a member of EVE University, what next?
Our Welcome to EVE University page provides basic information to get you started. It also contains information about the services and programs available to you.
If you have any issues with the application process, our Intake Officers are here to help! Feel free to ask for an Intake Officer in our public channel in-game or on Discord.
If you have any complaints, please contact the Manager of Intake and Progression.
