|Question= What is this new "Alliance" tab?
 
−
|Answer= Eve University is part of the Ivy League Alliance. Since Eve University is effectively Ivy League we don't use the Alliance for communicating with other corps in the alliance. Rather we use alliance to organize fleet operations. Please keep general chat in "Chat.E-Uni".  Do not, under any circumstances, type into Alliance unless you are forming a fleet or joining one, and only then by following the standard uni protocols on doing so.  A good rule to follow is: if you do not know what you are and are not allowed to type here, do not type in it.

The Eve University "Corp" tab is used for Eve University specific requests such as TeamSpeak access, skillbook requests, items from the hangars etc. Please keep general chat in "Chat.E-Uni".
