In-Game Events and Gatherings

There used to be a time when I thought I was the only Indian guy playing EVE. However, early on I was invited to the EVE India public channel, originally started by Zaxana: http://www.eve-search.com/thread/995620-0/page/1

It's tough learning to play this game without advice from older veteran players (some things you can't learn from paper), and I believe the initial experience can make or break your long-term plan. Even your willingness to continue playing.

Zaxana and others have helped me to a great extent and told me the finer points of EVE political history, such as his experience as a Goon pilot fighting in the Great Wars. Though very small at first, the channel has grown considerably. We've helped each other out, gained new friends, and I've been able to teach some players myself (two who became my corpmates). I played many different MMORPGs in the last twelve years and there's nothing that matches the social aspect of EVE and how much it influences what happens, be it politics or space-violence.

Over the years it became apparent that there are a lot more Indians playing the game than we think; Indians playing from India, Indians born and based in the US (like penifSMASH and me), and from other countries. We are few but our presence has been nothing less than significant. That number is growing as the game evolves, as we all tread our individual paths.

EVE India is a small but unyielding community and I think it's time that the world knows that we are here. We have players from CFC, TEST, PL, and literally all corners of New Eden. Anyone can join, regardless of race or nationality.

PvP tactics is a subject we often discuss. We have fought in many wars since 2006, and on opposing sides in current conflicts. Some old bitter veterans no longer play, some stick around to this day, and new blood comes in once in a while.

It is my hope that more Indian players find us and represent, as the game enters its second decade.

Jai Hind!!1!!

So you guys should know where I can get reeealy cheap PLEX right, right?

Har Har Mahadeo!

Bump.

Today is independence day.

This isn't a corp or alliance recruitment thread. It's an invitation for people, both Indian and non-Indian, to come hang out in the "Eve India" channel.

Also there are numerous successful corps and alliances that recruit primarily based on national or linguistic guidelines. For example: HUN Reloaded (Hungarian), C0VEN (Polish), SOLAR FLEET (Russian speaking), and too many corps to list here.

ek aur ko le lo :)
Ye gore soch rahe hongey ki kya baat ho rahi hai lol
Finally.

Jai Hind )))))))))))))))))

Is there a corp where majority of ppl are Indians ? Koz I m from India and I have couple of alts.

There is no major corp that has a majority of Indian players and/or advertises itself that way that I know of. There may be single corps out there dedicated to the Indian TZ (which is essentially early Euro/AUS/Oceanic) but no large alliances of that nature exist. Alliances of Russian and Australian nationality would typically play during the Indian TZ.

However, like in real life, Indians are ubiquitous in nature, spread across New Eden even in the most random of places.

EVE India is the only common channel that exists. Like penifSMASH has stated, this channel isn't designed toward a particular corp or alliance, and has players from many different places - neutral, friendly, and even those currently at war.

The purpose of EVE India is to be a place where Indians from all over the world (and non-Indians as well) can chill, discuss tactics, ask questions when they need help, and share war stories.
