What about activities that help the corp out but pilots also have a good time doing? A like how do you guys set it up. If they are good I may use them just letting you know :)

Thanks to the 3 or so that gave some good ideas. If you have any more ideas let me know :). Always looking for new things so my corp does not get dull.


A good 'sociable corp' will tend to be more popular than a good 'doing corp' and will tend to have better retention of membership.

Once you think you have it all, you have actually become ignorant towards everything else.

We used to run corp mining events - Mining Mondays - with all the mined ore going into the corp pot.

Even the guards did not get bored as we all talked utter tosh and generally had a good time.

The most important thing was that they were not compulsory, folk came along because they were fun.

Anything you do to help your members enjoy the game is helping the corp. That's a big part of it that a lot of people misunderstand. Happy successful members = happy successful corp.

edit: Also compulsory is a bad word.

Slosh ops are always good. Hand out a load of t1 fit cruisers like thorax, ruptures, stabbers and blackbirds and go have a lil roam with the intention of not finishing until everyone's dead. Even if nobody knows what they're doing they will still have a laugh with friends and kill some dudes. People who've never done it before should be encouraged because, well.. it's free!

1) Friendship (It's magic!)
2) Active and aggressive pursuit of Team-Oriented Goals (long term and short term.)

Helps to have an invite-only recruitment process. Don't just invite random people from the recruitment channel or forums, either, as these places tend to be full of douchebags, which leads to the next point ... if somehow you do wind up with a douchebag in your corp, kick him out.

That friendship part cannot be stressed enough, and will eventually lead to your own unique corporate culture. It's the glue that binds everyone together. It's obviously not something that you can force, either. It just comes with spending time with people, especially when you go through great victories or humiliating defeats together. This is why team-oriented goals are important.

Everything else is just gravy.

Whether or not you win the game matters not.  It's if you bought it.

So as a Director of a corp I am constantly trying to look for new things we can offer our corp members that will both benefit the corp members and help them enjoy EVE under our banner as well as benefit the corporation and if in an alliance in extension the alliance. Now benefiting the corporation does not always have to be the case. Some of the neat things I like doing don't always help the corp but it does bring together the corp membership.

What I would like is to hear what some of the things you as members or corp leaders do in or for your corp to unite and benefite the corp membership and/if the corp also. Like incintives and OPS, medals, pay, different activities or events that you guys have seen have worked. Would like to see what has worked out there.

One of the best motivators is to find an enemy to define yourself against.

Why aren't you proud of your corp? Why are you ashamed to be affiliated with those who you lead?

How can they be proud to be members of your great corp when you're ashamed to lead it?


Maybe just smart enough to realize this is EVE, and advertising your Corp means you get the following:

~ War Decs
~ Spies
~ Scammers
~ Trolls
