Remember those PvP Scholarships that I wrote about? Well this weekend sees the next Agony PvP-BASIC class and enrolment is currently open. Why not sign up right now and be the first to use the Rifter Drifter PvP Scholarship. Agony classes are very informative and the roams afterwards are a lot of fun.
To claim your free Agony class all you have to do is sign up and say that the An’Har Family Industries [ANHAR] account is paying your course fee.
Do it now, before all the places fill up!
For me Eve is 100% a PvP game. There is almost nothing that you can do that is not driven by PvP. Traders compete on the market. Industrialists replace ships lost in combat. Miners supply those industrialists. Mission runners sell faction items to combat pilots… The list goes on. For me the most thrilling part is fighting other players. Whether its solo, in a small gang, or a large fleet, the adrenaline of a fight is why I log on again and again and again.
One of the things that I enjoy most about writing this blog and the Rifter PvP Guide is that it makes people who had never really considered PvP get up and give it a go. It seems that once people have had their first taste of the adrenaline surge that goes with a real fight, they rarely look back. Of course a lot of people are nervous about diving into PvP. Maybe they live in an industrialist, mining, or mission running corp. Perhaps their corporation just doesn’t have the experience to get them started. They might even just think that they lack the skills to give it a whirl.
Thankfully there’s a solution. Agony Unleashed runs an excellent selection of PvP courses including their PvP Basic class. All that you need to tag along is the ability to fly a frigate and the desire to learn. They will teach you the basics of ship fitting for combat, how to move around in a fleet, and of course fight. Once the main class is over there will be a roam that will take you out into nullsec space and hopefully get you some great fights. Just sign up when they announce a class, pay your course fee, and turn up to learn and have fun.
Wait… pay your course fee?! What if I can’t afford it?
Don’t worry. Thanks to a generous donation to get it started, the An’Har family are proud to announce the Rifter Drifter PvP Scholarship programme. We have the funds to sponsor ten students through Agony’s Basic class. If it’s a success then hopefully we’ll be able to find funds for more students.
All you have to do to qualify for the scholarship is to say that your course is being paid for by An’Har Family Industries (ANHAR). Agony will credit our account and you’re good to go! In exchange for this all I ask is that you write me an account of your time on the course, whether you enjoyed it, and – most importantly – if you’re going to go out and try more PvP. I’ll publish the reports here and hopefully it will encourage more people to give it a go. Oh, and I might drop you a message further down the line and find out how you’re getting on.
What are you waiting for? Give it a go!
