Wow, you pretty much just described Rolled Out. It was beautiful ... Cry

Really gonna miss this corp. W-space will be worse off with another group gone who's bread and butter was providing good fights and quality forum content. Straight

Thankfully though there's still people like you around, Aiyshimin.

Logistics and the trouble.. Used to have anice C3 for myself. Had a small pos there and then summer holidays hit. Was a pain to fuel and the fact I had to go on vacation made me have to either take down shop or hope that no one would attack while I was gone. 3 days before my vacation the tower got reinforced, and even though the agressor never came back to finish, I decided to leave. Whan I came back I had a few months of downtime on playing and the income from playing a few hours per week, no longer supported the fuel cost and me bothering to scan down holes to bring fuel and loot through.

Also in the end, some guy in a proteus spend his life mainly waiting for me to log on. He never got me, but had some close calls a few times. In the end he wasted a month of his life in the wormhole as I was living there and only occationally logged on once or twice per week.

I'd love to live in a wormhole, but am fairly new so it's very daunting. Would love to find a corp that trains newbs to explore.

The reason i'm no longer in a wormhole is that there are to many ppl in there at the moment. IMHO way too many holes are occupied.

There are tons who are newbie friendly (Even Eve uni has a wormhole campus). And by 'newbie' I'd say you'd still want to be a confident scanner, able to use cloaks and fly/fit at least a decent BC to comfortably try w-space life in a lower class system.

Just browse the recruiting forum, often a lot of WH corps recruiting there and I'm sure you'll find one who is newbie friendly and does the kind of things you're hoping to try.

Most people are complaining about quite the opposite at the moment.

There can never be enough people in wormhole space. Big smile

One word. ICE.

The fact that getting ICE products these days is virtually impossible unless you're willing to camp a system spawn, and scrum pounce a belt like being one of 300 tigers on a small deer carcass...

IF wormholes had ice, we'd be there in a flash. it's the only thing holding us back, and we would absolutely love to get back into it again.

First rule of space-relevance: if you mention it, you're not.

Only exception to the rule is reminding people about the rule, obviously.

Make space glamorous! Is EVE dying or not? Ask the EVE-O Death-o-meter!

How can you forget that and still call yourself a wormholer? What?

I know right, no talking in local. I have a problem with that.

I don't know what kind of hole you're from, but it doesn't sound like a very fun one to me. In fact going by your earlier post you dislike the PVE there, downplay the PVP there and even write off industry and don't have much to say about the community either. The only things you speak positively off are random connections and easy logistics. What exactly do you do in your hole, run a freighting business or such?

Ironically, the same reason you have for not living in a wormhole is the argument I used in my divorce proceedings . This is why I don't have to pay Alimony Twisted

Worried about my fun? You're sweet <3

I dislike PVE everywhere, but didn't downplay PVP- it can be great when it actually is available. Like said, some people are fine with the occasional fight or gank every now and then, I keep complaining Bear

I did have much to say about the "community" :)

Do in the wormhole? I enjoy the company of the most awesome guys in our corp, and I tend to spend my online time scouting the chain from our C5 for fights. In reality I'm logged off in a safe for this summer, tho. Maybe things are better come Autumn?

Regarding the last few posts in this thread that, well, LMAO.

In my 1st post in this thread, I gave props to wormholes and the brave space pioneers who live in them. I did that because it's true (wormholing, like pimping, ain't easy), but also because I didn't want to lower myself to the level of the wormholers and others who decided to poo-poo of null sec in the null sec thread to make themselves feel all good about their gameplay choices lol.

The truth is that space is space and internet gaming nerds are internet gaming nerds. The same drama and BS that happens in nullsec happens in wormholes (don't believe it? scoll up in this thread or go to the wormhole forums and SEE the e-peening madness and useless politics such as that which killed Narwals the 1st time). Hell, it happens in ALL eve space and all games in general.

But some people just need some way to feel all superior to others. The wormholers aren't imo the worst about it (that prize goes to the low sec dwellers, apperently everyone who sets foot in null sec is instantly turned into an "F1 monkey". being in low sec means becoming adept at using F1 and F2!) but it can still be highly annoying.

You know ... I didn't really mean what I said about your hair that one time. Oops

I'm actually beginning to find myself mildly attracted to you from the heat generated exchanging these barbs.

Nothing wrong with occasional ganks. Or big fights. Or blobs. Some PVP I'll take it any way I can get it, even on the forums, and seeing as I'm taking a little time to relax myself once Rolo closes it'll be back to the occasionals until I feel motivated enough to join the big boys again. Don't expect the shitposting to slow down though.

Like you I dislike PVE in all it's forms too. All these space poors, I pity them.

Yeah well.

I can empathize a lot with this.

Didn't you know that everyone logging off for summer has killed wormholes. All the trolly C5-6 shitposting, drama loving, fight-arranging, prostitute corps are either merging, imploding, or closing down. I hope you're happy.

ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS X
