[...] this type of game is great as it truly is about the players deciding on how their world is shaped. The Butterfly Effect as CCP called [...]

Now i just want to grab you by the indie-kid hair and scream “GET. IN. A ****ING. CORP!” whilst slapping you around.

Even the articles you linked are all about events that you could only experience in a corp….

Personal advice - go join one of the FW militias. Joining as an individual will move you into the militia’s NPC corp. Once you’ve been flying in the militia fleets for a while, you could always apply to one of the player corps in your militia (once you know who the guys you think you’d like to play with are). But, in the meantime you get to experience a new part of the game and get the togetherness of a corp (or close to it) through militia chat and fleets, without worrying about joining up to a corp and then having to commit time to it. Also, you don’t need to give up the missions while you are militia so you don’t loose any part of the game you have now.

I only recently left minnie militia and there are some great guys in there so would recommend that. I’m sure all militias have good people in them though so just choose one you have the standings for.

I started to comment, and it got so long it turned into an article over on my blog, LOL!

Anyways, loved reading through those articles, since I was also in Frege about the time as RPS/StateCorp.

“All These Lives Are Fit to Ruin” is a great one and I don’t think it’s too long. http://www.eveonline.com/background/potw/default.asp?cid=20-04-09

Yeah, corps seem like a hugely important part of EVE. It’s odd that they don’t have better recruitment methods in-game… but then I suppose that it’s all part of it.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun also have a great article about The Great War. I’ll see if I can dig it up.

I haven’t read any of the chronicles. What are they?

No, not yet. I’m a complete slacker. I end up spending most of time missing running and salvaging so I can save up cash. I really need to get a move on with the corp thing…

In my opinion, EVE is only good when you find a good group of people you enjoy playing the game with. That involves getting into a good corporation, then getting to the people in that corporation. The trick is to place yourself where the action is.
