EOH Quickstart Instructions
So how exactly do you play in this (or any) EOH tournament? It's simple--just follow these steps:
- Log in to EVE and join the EOH POKER and EOH GAMES channels. EOH POKER is where bankers and players chat; EOH GAMES is where tournaments are announced by the banker who is hosting them (only bankers may speak in that channel).
- Send the buy-in ISK to the banker hosting the tournament you wish to enter.
- Open the EOH Poker client in your out-of-game browser and log in with your EOH account details.
- Click the Tournaments tab.
- Select the table at which your tournament will be held and click Register.
- Begin playing once the tournament fills and the banker has started the game (the table will open automatically in your browser).
- Once the game is over, if you are a winner, type "X" and the table number in the EOH POKER channel in-game (to make it easy for the banker to pay you out).
If you dream of suddenly having billions of ISK in your wallet and the ability to buy shiny things for your hangar, the ESOP III tournament might just be your ticket to fame and fortune. Experience in past big tournaments suggests an avalanche of entries will be received as the game date draws closer. Get on the ride now before all the tickets are sold out!
