Introduce Alexander Rykis and Tony Gonzales to her.

EVE university.

That's like the most honest non-troll answer I've seen you post Ghost. gj.

[Boma Airaken]

Didn't think of eve-uni and I have no idea why. Good looking out people.

When my wife opened a trial account, she ended up in Eve U, and they promptly had an 11 week war with the privateers...

During which, she decided to explore this RP stuff, and ended up dragging me into RP.

Now she's running a corp and exploding from time to time.

Eve-U - I thoroughly recommend it

Join a militia? I like to learn by banging my head against the wall, so that's what I did.

And I initially read the title as "My wife just popped one out" and was all set with a congrats, but no dice.

EVE U? Bleh. That'll just teach her to dock up every time there's a war. She'll see PVP as something to fear and avoid.

I liked the Rifter answer better.

Open University of Celestial Hardships, aka OUCH. If you can survive in non-sov nulsec, you can pretty much survive everywhere.

Unless she has a pair of steel balls and one of those new age Ford trucks with the steel balls hanging from them, nullsec might be a bit much.

Then Eve-U has changed. My wife got on pvp kill-mails flying with Eve-U, even before I did, despite starting a month after.

And she's still exploding after 2 years...

The advantage of Eve-U is that there are people who can answer questions about a huge range of things. There's lots of room for trying things to see if you like them (including PvP, going by the Ivy fleets I see about).

Not everyone plays this game just for the PvP, and making that assumption without finding out if this person is one of them might drive her off.

I certainly don't play this game just for the PVP. In fact, we could probably have an entire separate thread on "why we play this game". But I firmly believe that everyone in EVE should at least understand it.

As to whether EVE-U has changed, perhaps it has. I definitely hope so, since friends of mine that belonged to it last year had negative experiences -- and I would like everybody who joins EVE to find a way to enjoy it.

EVE-U was hanging out in amamake glory belt last week, so I wouldn't say they try to avoid PvP. I even snagged and murdered one of their gangs inties just to impart the lesson not to wander away from the group.
