Does this annoy anyone else? Just curious. The corp/alliance's name is not a sentence, and if it's intended to imply some form of finality or seriousness, it fails.
I've begun to generally expect a corporation with a period after its name to take themselves more seriously than anyone else does.

The dot is there to indicate corps and alliances that are known blobbers. It's based on killmail statistics.

And unless something changed recently, you cannot have a corp or alliance with the same name as any character either.

My alliances name was taken by a dead alliance, but you cannot use dead names. So the dot makes it unique. I expect this is the reason for most dot names.

Well, you may think it was a waste of time, but yesterday I was flying through some local lowsec when I ran into some pirates who had the dot name. They were rather rude and arrogant, and I think that the name of their corporation helps imbed a sort of negative attitude and inflated ego - as it seems like the typical attitude of such corporations. So I got into another ship and I went back to the system, and I
Ha got you back. (none of that happened)

This makes sense and is fine. But just two comments.
1. I've actually put this to the test some time ago and there were unique corp/alliance names that seemed to have the period for no other reason than just to have, as if almost some kind of "c00l" or L33t statement. Dunno.
2. With just a little bit more creativity you could come up with a different name that could portray the same point you're trying to get across (no pun intended, really  ).

My corp name ends with a period for a reason, and the reason being good grammar.
"Inc." is a common abbreviation of "Incorporated"

Okay guys, listen up. The "period" as you proles are calling it is actually a "leet dot". It implies that we are elite.

Exactly why does this matter in the first place? Don't be so pessimistic. Nobody likes pessimistic people.
let it go man... just let it go... try looking at the glass half full for a change. Lifes to short to let a little thing like this take your joy...
You are still cool even if your corp or alliance does not have a "."
