for me eve is a more society based game anyway. The old teach the young in exchange for obedience. And because of this very tight knit groups can form. Eve university is simply the public school system of eve.( no offense to public schools or EVE university)

Wow has the best tutorial quests I have ever seen and the game can be played from beggining to end without asking for help. Nice as this is it allows a player to never develop (virtual) social skills.
