Orientation Talks are recurring events hosted by your Orientation Department. This is an opportunity for new and returning players to ask questions of and discuss with Orientation Officers in a casual and open-ended information session. No agenda; just a roundtable discussion. Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join us with your questions! What doesn't make sense? How do you do this? We're here to help.
When: Thursday 5 May 2022, 19:00 EVE Time Where: Mumble Classroom Alpha (audio) & Discord Classroom Alpha (video) Note that due to changes in our auth system, this will be on the general, normal Uni Mumble, not the old public server! Duration:About an hour, depending on the number of questions
Topics might include:
Getting started: Setting up Discord, Mumble, in-game chats and the overview, etc.
Getting involved with the Uni: Standing fleets, joining a class or an event, joining a campus, etc.
Programs and services: Skillbooks, buyback, mentors, +3 implants, hauling, etc.
Anything really: Whatever questions you might have because the topics are up to you

A source of confusion when you start the game, but something that allows players from all over the world to coordinate their time together by referring to one universal time. And I don't mean it is bad--it is just that most of us function in one time zone and to start thinking about another takes a little getting used to.
And as Blindflug pointed out by linking that article on the Wiki, once you get used to the offset in time, it's quite easy.

Thank you for the explanation. My time zone is EVE time - 5. I found the clock in the lower left hand corner; the numbers are tiny.
That they are. And if you click on the tiny clock, you get the event calendar which gives you a wide array of Uni activities.

The email said "This session is scheduled to suit Eastern European and Asia/Au time zones.". Not so much AU... it's 5am. Any chance of another session for AU (Eve +10) soon?
