(Proposal) Changes to the corp mail system.

I am proposing that CCP changes the way corp mails are setup now and request that they return to the way it was done a few years back. in so much as, when a new player joins the corp, they will receive the corp posts previously sent after a short waiting period.

I will detail a short scenario below:

After having some success in recruiting a couple of "noob" members, I sent out a few corp mails with details and handy hints on how things work in eve, which is helpful for a char who is a few hours/days/weeks in to the game.

I was then lucky enough to recruit another few new members a few days later but found that they were not receiving the mails I previously sent out and therefore had to re-send each new player all the information individually or I resend the previous mails to everyone whenever a new member joins the corp.


Previously with the eve corp mail system a new member within a corporation would automatically receive all corp mails after a short waiting period. For me this would seem an ideal situation for getting information to each corp member efficiently.

Many people would argue that all this will do is create a massive backlog of mails which are unnecessary and in the most part I would agree, who wants to see a dozen "wat" or "lolz" clogging up the mailing system if the corp CEO/Director's are too lazy to delete the spam.

To mitigate this a also recommend a system were the CEO/Directors can "lock" the mails they wish to keep and after a defined period of time (say 7 days) all the non-locked mails will be deleted.

As a CEO of a corporation, I would find this solution to be a much more efficient way to disseminate information to my members without having to worry to much about deleting all the spam.

You could just put that information into a corp bulletin...

Ahhh, Thank you LyKouleon,

The Bulletin board was not available, when I took a break from eve and although I saw it when I returned, I mistakenly thought it was for something else.

Again Thank you very much, it was a great help Big smile
