EVE's combat elite sets aside differences to teach PvP
Among the PvP-centric massively multiplayer online games on the market, EVE Online stands out as a game where players struggle for supremacy against one another on multiple levels, either on an individual or collective basis. Given how heated alliance warfare is -- one needs only read a few posts in CAOD to get a feel for this -- it's notable when players firmly entrenched in EVE's politics take some time out to show newer players the ropes.
That's the case with Seppuku Warriors, a PvP training corp which draws top notch instructors from Band of Brothers (including SirMolle), Morsus Mihi, and Southern Cross Alliance, with apparently more to come. What's most interesting is that they've put aside their political differences (some of the instructors come from or lead opposing alliances) to teach less experienced players what they know.
Seppuku Warriors is the brainchild of EVE players "Sabre A" and Dee Carson. The focus of instruction is on small gang PvP, a far cry from the POS warfare and capital fleet engagements that typify warfare amongst the most powerful alliances in EVE, and we wonder if this shift to smaller scale combat is something of a return to roots for these PvP vets. Check out the Seppuku Warriors FAQ for more info about why they're doing this, and how they can teach you to be a more effective PvP'er.
