I have friends across multiple corporations and since corporations can only have one alliance, I would suggest a new feature to allow players to join multiple player corporations but only be able to "represent" one at a time. To minimize spying, adding a "representer" sepcific chat to corporations along with the general corp chat would prevent players of enemy corps from making new characters for spying as they wouldn't get any information that way. I would love to see this feature or an adaptation of it be implemented in EVE.

Not happening, if nothing else because of the extreme trouble this would cause for corps where roles are required for operational purposes!

While this may work in GW2, it will not work in Eve....

How would you propose it would handle a corp wardec?

Custom chat channels are not exactly rocket science.

You know this is actually a really good idea. It would add a whole new level of realism to the game. While it may pose some interesting issues when it comes to war decs I believe it would introduce a whole new level to social networking.

- Working in the real world most people work for multiple companies / corporations. For example; You may work for Wal-mart, Target, and K-mart. All of which directly compete with each other. Infact you may even be a supervisor or manager for all 3. I myself have worked for 2 different Book stores while working at a Movie Theatre when I was younger.

- By allowing players to join multiple corporations it allows players the possibility of having a more enjoyable playing experience.

- In the end it is up to the leaders of the corp on whether they wish to allow a player to be part of their corp. So if you are a corp leader and don't wish to have players that are members of multiple corps in your corp then don't do it.

One last little tid-bit most players run multiple characters. They have characters in PVP corps, Characters in Faction War, Characters in PVE/Mission/Incursion, and players in Industrial corps. Most of the time they even have an NPC neutral character. Some times they have mutliple PVP characters to get the PVP fix. Some times they have multiple Industrial characters to feed the PVP character. In the end they end up joining multiple corps. Whats that saying "don't keep all your eggs in one basket". Anyway like I said good idea would love to see more discussion.
