EVE General Discussion

Vets what would help other vets retetnion rates?
Bitter vets what would help other bitter vets's retention rates?

We ALL KNOW vets are the lifeblood of this 12year old video game.
We keep it alive.
How can we keep our subs alive?

You could try playing the game instead of spending all day trying to come up with new stupid threads to start.

Mr Epeen

/thread on the first post. You win the internet.

I will bite.

I'm an 11.5 year vet.

There was a htread floating around, about giving people who have been here for 10 years a gift, and possibly another at 15 and 20. I think this would be a good start for some, and here is why...

In the real world, shortly after i got married and quit my crappy mobile tech job, i was unemployeed for a bit. I eventually got hired on at Geek Squad for best buy. Typical retail issues, and me being blunt irl makes me not have very good customer service skills. Anyway, the job was meh, the people i worked with were awesome. About three years into it, i was getting bored. And was thinking of changing jobs (in hind sight i should of) then one of our morning meetings, it was announced that not only would 5 year best buy employees get the best buy watch, but geek squad people of five years would get a leather jacket.

At the time, i was kind super into leather jackets, and i said.. well two years huh... ya i could do that.

Two years later, i had my son, my watch, and my jacket. A year later i got canned. (long story)

The point is, an incentive for staying, made me decide that i could hang on a bit, because, well, what the heck. I knew a couple other people who had the same idea.

So, a way that might keep some people thinking 'gods, i've been here 8 years.. wtf am i doing?!?1" migh be to give a 'if you hit 10 years you get this random but cool thing! incentive. The vet station was an interesting idea, but something more useful, like a special skin, a sword for the captains quarters, an outfit or maybe a specla ship might make a few people who might want to bounce go.. well i can wait a bit...

I still have the jacket and watch so meh.

you can get a bs in the first 2 months of playing now. you just won;t have the support skills or know how to fly it very well. But you can pretty easily hit BS 1, and large weapons 1 in 2 months.

Something like this would probably provide suitable retention.

A hat, don't forget a hat to complete the ensemble.

Speedo? SPEEDO?

Commando with chaps. That's the real deal!

Mr Epeen

Budgie smugglers? Eww.

If we bound all of CAM's threads into a book, it would be called the "Drama Sutra".
