Eve Who isn't exactly the be all and end all of information on what corps are active or not, I have a small corp, listed on Eve Who as possibly inactive which it is not, I know it's not because all the members of the corp are me Lol

For corp names I went the greek mythology route, there's still plenty out there for the taking, you just have to be inventive.


oooh snipe

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

You could try an in-game petition if there is a corp name that is being held by an inactive player. Might be worth a try.

I think the active/not active thing is based on group numbers as its got my own corp marked as probably active, as in it's not sure. But like I said, check out the number of players and see if they even have a recent portrait up. That is usually the first sign. You can also click on the character and find out the date that they joined. It's not perfect but it does give a pretty good projection of when that corp was created and subsequently last used.

A necessary condition for maintaining control of a corporation is having a semi-active account. Make it so.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

It must be easy to just rules-lawyer away all the little inconveniences while pretending to be Jean-Luc Picard!

Q, get off my bridge at once!

Damn, it doesn't work for me either.

Sounds like somebody doesn't want to lose his super duper neat-o corp names that he ripped off of his favorite movies.

the bigger problem is corp tickers. there are far fewer possible combinations. that said, stop naming stuff after the same sci fi, fantasy, memes, characters, and real life corps and you will have a lot better luck. I have created and named close to 200 different corps and never had a problem... except with tickers.

Hellenic unit names and tactical manoeuvre names also seem to be largely unclaimed, par exemple, pour référence.

I don't think it would matter after 5 years. After 5 years, all I could remember of my old character was it was a gallentean.
