Since when does CCP use the launcher to advertise for corps?

My splash screen has no ads. I feel left out.

Why don't you advertise Goons? As they bring in so much content into the game, and are always the go-to in describing what EvE is all about.
Do the Goons really need advertising?

There's no week, where you can't find at least - let's say - 2 forum threads with "Goon" somewhere in the headline.


Just a question in regards as to what they specifically think is helping the game, specially since they seem to love them so for all their content.
And a small (loud) percentage of players actually ever visit the forums so that's a bupkis standard in determining notoriety from the player base.

CCP always has its eyes open for extraordinary community building enterprises and we won't hesitate to shine a light on them when we find them. We will highlight large training corporations with good reputations whose doors stand open to all, especially the ones who promise to help new players get past the learning curve and become productive citizens of New Eden. We also won't hesitate to withdraw our support for such organizations should they fall short of what we thought them to be.

We will also use social media and other channels at our disposal to draw attention to good community projects, tools and programs made by players to help players, EVE music videos, PVP videos, short films, good blogs or well made podcasts.

There are a lot of people in the community who go the extra mile to help the community grow and prosper, and if we can nudge their efforts along without interfering in their operation, I think that's a good thing.

p.s. I also cleaned this thread of off topic posts, trolling, personal attacks and bickering. Please keep your comments constructive.


Well don sir, well done.

RvB didn't ask for an advertisement, nor did we pay anything for it. CCP asked RvB's CEO if we had any problems with them putting the notice on the log-in screen, and then went and did it on their own.


Quite honestly, that's what I assumed when I saw that. Have no problem with it.. think that RvB is a great place for new players to get a taste of what player to player combat is.

Why not? RvB is a good place to learn about the PvP side of Eve, it's cheap, cheerful and accessible. Albeit PvP with rules and restrictions.



going straight into blobbing is not a good way to learn pvp, if you want to learn the mechanics of pvp in eve you have to start off doing it alone. When you blob, you dont learn or understand both your strengths or weakneses. Before I went to null i prepared myself by doing solo pvp , gaining an understanding of what ships can and cant do and reading players, knowing what they will do before they even engage me: you cant learn this in a blob , rvb is a fun place no doubt about it but they arent really teaching you pvp its just get in a fleet and shoot whatever is red

I think the launcher needs a Fatbee.
