Allright, I've read several posts and I'm getting the feeling this is general practice on EVE. I'd like to know if this is termed harassment or just part of EVE.
Myself and a couple friends have earned enough money to create a corp. We wanted this so we could share assets and generally make it easier to work together.
A couple days after our corp is made, we've already gotten notice that another corp is declaring war on us. So now we soon won't be safe in concord space.
So... WTF?! We just want to do our thing and develop our characters / get better ships, rat hunt, etc. Why are we now going to be attacked by another corp's super characters and battleships in protected space? To us this is harassment, we don't do anything to other corps we just stick to ourselves.
So... is this normal in EVE, and approved by EVE staff? Do we need to dissolve our corp and go back to not having a shared hangar just because sone bloodthirsty corp is declaring war on starting corps for kicks? I don't pay money in this game to be attacked in protected space. When we're ready for wars we'll mess around with it. But right now we aren't interested. What can we do?

Wait and see. Most wars are dead wars. But you'll have to stay non-AFK for sure...

most war corps are alts just look at the size of the corp, less than 5 members usually means an alt corp. They wont give u much trouble just add them to your address book so u can see them in local easily and dont go afk unless docked.

fortunately in Shiva, there will be a cost to wars that will make harassment wars like this less common. (hopefully.)

Wars/pvp are the only real point to eve. Without them, the game would die.

More griefer tripe. In the context of the original poster, it is just a group of muppets trying to get a few easy kills in Empire.

Get a bunch of cheap frigates and show your aggressors what you're made of. Lot's of fun to be had in pvp, even if you lose a bunch of ships 
Who knows, they may have underestimated you and they will soon crawl back to the hole they came from. Right then and there is the time to declare back on them

We plan to file a harassment petition if they actually attack us in an area protected by concord. We aren't paying real money to be prevented from enjoying this game by a wayward corporation that EVE allows to harass innocent starting corporations.

Devil Chaser, there is some good advice in this thread already:
a) Look at the number of the players in the warring corp. If less than 5 you have little to worry about, or it may be alts just too lazy or afraid to find real opponents for PvP.
b) Arm some cheap frigs and go after them in civ space. Any PvP experience is good experience. Fighting in a ship that you've put aloot of effort into makes the game much more exciting. My pulse pounds within me when PvP is near or inevitable.
c) EVE is not all about PvP. Those opinions are for the short attention spanning geeks who switch back and forth between EVE and CoD/D00m3/etc. There are allot of other people in EVE, like me, who like to build, trade, explore, do missions, etc. But, believe me, youmust develope some good PvP skills and practice ganking, attacking, working as a group, etc. Practice it one night a week.

Devil Chaser, if its regarded harassment just to war declare on another corporation then EVE is dead. This is part of the game.
Adjust & adopt to it or stay docked.

Awww isn't that sad...
Why don't you try and see what happens before you start screaming******and murder?!
If you pick up your bags and move to some remote system that you will have all to yourself then you'll prolly never even see any of those guys that declared war on you!

It's time for Eris to get a clue. CCP should make a statement about this.
It's the exact same things as what Zombie did, you may not attack in "safe-areas" (empire/within sentry range) without loosing your ship.

Oh come on. This is pathetic. If people like you had your way there would be no wars in empire space.
Just stop whining. Fight these people, or move systems etc. You could even hire protection.
Eve is like life - there is ALWAYS someone bigger and nastier than you prepared to annoy people for the sake of it. It is up to your corp to adapt.
