Considering the lack of functions, and over all lack of ability to control the roles and permissions, this is a lack luster feature that isn't going to be useful to anything but the smallest corps, and corp mail serves them just fine. CCP needs to make this a fully functioning forum, allow access via standings, Allow sub-forums, and flesh it out.

Cause small corps aren't important? Keep your elitist bullsh*t to yourself.

And all of your suggestions would actually make managing a forum much more difficult. A simple feature set can be beneficial sometimes you know.

Any decent alliance already has their own website / forums. And becides, there's no reason why they can't add features like that down the line.

For now, i'd be happy with some sort of estimate of when it's going to be activated. It's already 5 days past the origional date. Shocked

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.

This is why small corps fail if they do, because they underestimate the power of communication. A corporation that uses forums and similiar stuff can become very strong. A simple set of tools allows for simplified use. Having too many tools (other than acces limit) would eat away time and scare off people. The only people who need the tools are CEOs and directors.


Plus, a forum on Eve Gate should more be like a step between a Corporation Mail and a link to a proper forum. A big forum would be loaded with useless stuf and detailed info and I can imagine that the corp forums would present only the most necessary information and link to a real forum (besides, there are enogh open-source forums out there anyone can use)

If posters fail to use Links in a proper way, that is not the problem of the ones providing a forum. Learn hypertexting.

Shocked Great idea, these Corp forums. When I heard the news at first I imagined something like guildportal(?) http://www.guildportal.com/ where i had a guild site a long time ago. As long as there are access levels similar to the actual live game play levels used in the corp setups, where is the problems? Can the ceo entered levels be pulled from the corp info and inserted, perhaps add an assignable index/precedence variable in the game corp setup...? ... or hardwire the precedence numbers in but plug in the names of the levels from the corp setup?

Just a thought...

Allright.... we've got two possibilities here... both are VERY BAD. Either:

A) CCP has broken their promise of keeping us "in the loop as soon as we know more"
OR
B) 10 days after this posting they still don't "know more"

It's been THREE WEEKS since you guys said you're releasing it "today." If you ****** up fine, give us a date, give us an estimate, tell us to shut up and that it will be ready when it's ready... maybe in a year like the UI changes... but PLEASE don't throw these crazy promises at us and then go silent.... especially when you promise to keep us in the loop!

You guys are a great company and doing a great job but this sort of thing drives a lot of people crazy. Good luck with the corp forums, hope to see them soon.

A fantastic idea. Introducing this will certainly take the strain off of the poor and often misused EVE Mail system. Maintaining a forum for our corp and alliance out of game is an administrative headache our members and our CEO could do without, so keeping this stuff 'in-house' is a great idea. This could also be a good foundation for inter-corp information sharing such as profit and manufacturing calculating so corpies can be on the same page about their operations. PVP corps can also make use of something like this as a way to share killmails and post security updates etc etc.

Come on CCP, keep us in the loop. A lot of time has passed since this dev blog went out and by now there must be something to say about.
