So stop being biased by promoting in-game corps like eve uni and big lottery etc.
It's so unfair for the players that are actually trying to compete with them.

Sand box my ass, and if you ever put new players straight into player corps good bye eve, yes you can have my stuff but i only own a retriever.

Yes it is a Sandbox.

Sandbox means non linear gameplay as in you are not forced to complete a set of tasks in an order to win the game.

I really wish people would learn this because every whine thread starts with this is a sand box and that means...

When it doesn't.

If it really was a sandbox, there would be tech towers in high sec (sand is sand), but it's not really. It's just a place you can meet other people playing the game. So shuddup and play. I.E find out what eve uni and big lottery are doing, then adopt that strategy and win!

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

I don't recommend it, it will seriously change the way you walk

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

I am so mad I can't compete with people who have put in years working on their in game brand.

Oh well, might as well make a ship toast about it. That will show them.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read on the EVE-O forums, a place constructed entirely of horrible posts by awful people.

Not only is it not unfair, it's also completely unrelated to the game being a sandbox.

Thanks for the info Alara, however it is still bias = the corp is bigger they get more promotion which makes it even more bigger. RVB, eveUni, big lottery, Somerblink thus making small corps more difficult to recruit new players and compete with lotteries etc

You could pay for the same sort of ads yourself, just like they did. Or do you want it all for free?

Its a sandbox. Players can create awesome things in it. CCP likes it when players create awesome things in it. CCP shows off the awesome stuff its players create.

If you want equal treatment, create something awesome. Its not bias, its a competition.

Also your avatar looks like he was beaten with a shovel until this post became a good idea. >.>

The corps CCP has advertised for have been working to reach where they are for years upon years. Consider it a congratulatory thing for them.

Watch_ Fred Fred Frederation_ and stop [u]cryptozoologist[/u]! Fight against the brutal genocide of fictional creatures across New Eden! Is that a metaphor? Probably not, but the fru-fru- people will sure love it!

I found 'the old infamous thread' through Google. It's not the same.

The screwed up avatars there are indeed replaced by the updated ones. Cry
