List of Free Newbie Events

Hey all!
Since there are so many events going on, I would like to use this thread to single out and list all the Free Newbie Events that are going on at the moment, or will happen in the near future.
The events need to be Free and mustn't be too hard for noobs to enter.
Please Post them here or PM me with the details and I will add them to a calendar specifically for newbie events.

Oh and Stickying this thread would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Given that noob and n00b are derogatory terms why would we hold events named such?

Thats not a given at all - sure some people can use it as a derogatory term, but that is the way it is used and the intent. Like most words it has more than one meaning - many of which are NOT derogatory.

Edit: And here on EF the area to post for new players is called N00bs Corner

Actually your wikipedia link says it is usually used as a derogatory term. It defiantly started as one, while it is often now misused like the hacker/cracker terms now are, there still may be time to save the original intent and meanings.

Added:


Yes, it is, and I never liked that either.... although it may explain why I see it misused more by players of this game then any other I have played so far.

Actually it says

A common variant is "n00b" or "noob", in many cases a negative term where it degradingly refers to users who disrupt other users

It certainly is used that way in many cases, but not in all cases. Sorry for the thread hijack Galactic

From now on I will

This community would seem more welcoming to newcomers from other games if they dropped the habit of calling newbies noobs. When used at it is here with the 00 and OO spelling variants this is the meaning I have always seen meant.

This event is open to all and will include a Flyweight class for new players.

A more detailed schedule will be posted soon, and registration will open towards the end of this month.

Great. I'll post that one closer to the time the event is to occur.
For now, I think I'llk create a new coller looking calendar...

This is Part 1 of the Event. Part 2 will be announced at a later time.

All those who complete the event get a prize.

I'm new (great post, please sticky)

I have noticed that events geared JUST towards the newer players are announced in several different places within the EF forums. Having a thread used to list events just for new players is a great idea.
