EVE General Discussion

E-uni is a fantastic place to get literally any question answered.
The thing about Eve is that it takes time to learn. Whether it be a ccp training corporation or a player run non profit corporation. Doesn't matter it will take just as long to learn.

Also with Eve you get what you put in.if you're a casual 2 hours a week player you'll get casual gameplay. If you put time and effort in, you'll get an emmersive hardcore experience like no other game. :)

You can be in a corp and playing with others in mere minutes of logging in to the game for the first time. This is a problem with players and there is really little that CCP can do about it.

I don't know who it is you are applying to since you didn't mention but if they have been passing you back and forth for WEEKS then I can only suggest they are a waste of your time and for you to look elsewhere.

Yea, noobs who "come from other mmos" and such, bringing with them their incredible sense of entitlement and need for instant gratification.

Why don't you just be real and ask CCP to make a new theme park spaceship game with low barrier to entry.

Look at my sig line. EVe is a game of Chess in a universe of checkers. You don't simplify chess if not enough newbie checker players want in, you tell them to go read a book and come back later.

EVE always needs new people sure, the RIGHT new people, people would could themselves figure out a video game with minimal outside assistance like most of us who are here have done. People that don't have enough brain power or willpower to jump EVE's hurdles bring nothing to this community but another whiny mouth to feed so to speak.

Man, who cares if there are 16 million corps in EVE, the OP deserves someone to do it for him, such as CCP itself teaching him what to do in a sandbox. Get with the program.

/sarcasm

It's all about attitude for us, to be honest. Everything else can be taught, but the goons aren't wrong when the cite the concept of :shobon: being the secret of their success.

Give me a 3 day old noob with a good attitude in a tackle frigate any day. I love those little guys :3

I will finance infinite tackle frigates for them. Infinite. They can get blown up all day long and as long as they keep that good attitude I really dont care, because they will learn how to be awesome pilots because they are already awesome people.

So you want to play with the pros (I'm in no way stating that this hypothetical large nullsec alliance is pro in any form, but they may still feel like it)? Then you probably have to be one.
What I'm saying is you either go to an large alliance that takes in anyone and be generally miserable or join a smaller entity where you learn the ropes, build up some reputation and maybe even have fun.

I joined this game in 2007. My first week, I puttered around in a frigate learning game mechanics on a system HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BILLIONS TIMES WORSE than the current one. After that first week, I went into the recruitment channel and decided to join a corporation with only 5 people in it, all but the CEO being less than year old characters. In a month, we expanded to 20 players, most of them EUTZ with myself and three other people being the USTZ. We played around in highsec for another 3 months and expanded to 30 people. We decided to move to nullsec and did so. We survived as a corporation for about 2 years before we collectively decided to shut it down and move on to different things.

I still talk to people from my first corp, regardless of them being blue or red to me. That is what makes EVE different from WoW or every other bland variation of it. It isn't about size, it isn't about SP, its about how much you're willing to invest in it. You go out seeking lazy, WoW-mode corps, you will reap lazy, WoW-mode reward from it. You go out seeking EVE corps, you will reap the EVE experience. EVE in the beginning is all about getting over the hurdle of not having a stupid little LFG button and having to actually be an intelligent human being with some level of social skills. An NPC corp will never teach that.

look, if you can't figure out how to google then it's really your problem.

Max - I have not read this thread other then the OP. join ingame corp/alliance public channels you like the look of. Just start with a o/ and go from there. Eve is full of cocks and so expect recruiters to panic over anyone keen to actually join a corp. engage in convo in pub chans for a week or so and then require about joining

One thing I learned from my tough experience as new player is eve doesn't just hand out stuff. You gotta go seek it out, figure it out, get involved, make friends, make enemies, and press forward to experience all the great things it has to offer. I really cant agree with your idea because there are so many freaking corporations and alliances more than willing to recruit your noob self and teach you what you want to know. I know, because I joined one as a new player and learned stuff. You need to get around PEOPLE and show them that you are capable of LISTENING, then I can say without a doubt, they will TEACH you.

CCP does not need to officially stamp its name on any open player corps. Its just not gonna happen anyways nor should it.
