As what comes to NPC corps, CAS is a poor example as it is the only one that is actually any good at all (out of the ones I've had characters in at leas). They have frequent, organised activity resembling real corps, and people who aren't 100% scaredbears. Very good starter corp.

FNA, UC and RUN are **** for your career development, and the "boohoo lowsec kills" -attitude prevails in those.

Pator Tech chat is dead 99% of time, black silence only punctured by bad trolling and confused broken english that never gets replied.

Of course there are good people in those too, but if you go with the general attitude, you will waste months of precious game time "waiting to be ready" for the real EVE.





Ouch.

Have to admit I don't spend any time in other NPC corps so your perspective is valuable if disappointing.

I am assuming Pator is as empty as it has always been, I remember CAS being at 500 or so an Pator would be down around 80. As to the Federal Navy Academy, all the numb nuts choose FNA since it is a combat corp. Back when CCP made starter corps random CAS was flooded with them. I believe School of Applied Knowledge keeps up with being a good place to start.

Anyway, thanks for that info.

Hopefully to clear some things up, the OP is talking about this vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI4VkO6qr0U

While others got a bit lost because he mentions the above linked vid in one breath with the new site and think he's talking about the new vid in the eve online advertisement page.

It's a pretty good video, it does alot to impress on people the importance of joining a corp. Now what we need is a few additional incentives to leave an NPC corp and player retention should go up a little.

Trust me, if I was afraid of a wardec or combat, I wouldn't be in TEST. We get quite a bit of both, thanks to our reputation of being terrible. Its a beautiful thing.

Was talking about Zirse and his employment record.

As for you, I just disagreed with your statement about long time members of NPC starter corp not giving good info to new players.

lol

Confirming my station trader gets dec'ed all the time and I'm scared.


Which explains your character's employment record. Doing quite a bit of corp jumping just to evade being WarDec.

And then you have the nerve to talk sh*t about long time members of starter NPC corps.

This video gives me hope that not everyone at CCP has their head up their ass. Very good job in getting to the crux of a problem (newbie retention and integration) and addressing its key points.

When I saw the toon walking towards the door in the CQ on 1m 55s my first thought was "Holy **** its actually going to open". The video cut to a new shot before the dude made it close enuf to say open sesame though Sad
