To try and comply with the rules as much as possible, I'm posting on a random alt on the account that the CEO will be located as to not try and make this thread about my situation exactly but more of a broader scope on how to properly lure and attract players to your corporation. Some topics I would love to discuss involve:
- Initial ideas. Are names super important? What about location (in terms of location I mean geographically more than security sec wise. like high sec near noob systems versus high sec not near them etc)?
- How to initially start the conversation/communication with a prospective pilot.
- What kind of bonuses should you offer? Ship replacement schemes? T2 modules scheme?
- Is 3rd party communication suggested (TS3, Vent etc)?
- How do you retain your members?
It would be awesome to hear from some actual CEOs or ex CEOs that also overcame this hurdle!
Some info for people who are interested:
I've tried about 3 or 4 times to make my own corporation in Eve Online and every time I do try, I end up weeks in and no new members because people either don't want to join a random corporation or don't want to join a corporation with so little members (catch 22, "I won't join until you get more members" - well then how do I do that!).
I decided to try and make a thread on discussion about recruitment advice and suggestions on how to get some new players into a corporation I plan on making in the coming weeks.
Thanks in advance.
(To any forum GMs and/or Devs, I really had no idea where this thread belonged so I just put it in the new players Q&A as I figured it might be useful to some newer players trying to maybe start a corporation) |

What about validity? What about a goal of living in lowsec (0.4 -> 0.1)? Is there a reason to want to form my own corp or is the energy better channeled into joining and making a corp my own (in essence, not in actuality). |

The information in this thread is unreal. It has been mighty informative. Great to hear some advice on making it happen and tbh I think I will give it a go. IF it fails, then so be it, but Ima give it a real proper go this time.
On a side note, corporation website/forums. Suggested? Recommended? Stay away from them for now?
What about outlets for finding players? Is the recruitment channel really worth sitting in? Same goes for the recruitment forum. Is it just better to reach out to some players you meet in local?
Thanks again! |
