Quote:One of the biggest problems (at least in my experience) is that NPC corps do not have any goals or direction. I remember when I started, every time I asked what can I do in EVE, the answer was always the same, "whatever you want, Eve is a sandbox". Well, for someone that has no clue what CAN be done, that answer is frustrating, to say the least. ........................................ you had a giant post and all, and you offered perhaps to opinoins in less than 10 words, and the rest was a recruitment drive, take your recruitment and advertising too the appropiate thread, and quit spamming legitamte ones.
CAS stands for Center of Advanced Studies, the NPC Gallente Starting corp for industrials way back. You cannot be recruited into an NPC corp and cannot go back. What you glossed over while speed reading and trying to find hidden meaning in his words (or looking for the names of childish cartoon characters if your that mentally incabable), you missed out on the actual meaning. Those other areas of CAS are actually chat channels you can join that contain groups of like minded individuals, its our form of unaligned social groups where its not manditory and required for you to be present on a schedule dictated by someone else. We got an underground fight club in null, a landscaping mining team, and a group of individuals to answer any of your stupid newb questions  from how to not dual tank, fit 3 different weapon systems on the wrong ship bonus, and how to undock, save a guy 30 days of not having to train Advanced Navigation skills he didn't need. No obligation to be somewhere and no requirement to set the alarm clock, but you can expect your questions to be answered and sometimes a CAS member to help out (such as killing Dagan) if they are nearby. CAS is a great NPC corp to get to meet people, some leave off for their own adventures but they almost always roll up an alt to keep in CAS just to talk sometimes. We are just like Eve-UNI, without the wardec ability.
There has been to much chat about CAS in this thread *squints eyes in a "I see what you did there" manner* and I think we might have a security risk. All prior CAS members in this thread *points at both eyes and back at them like Robert Dinero*...I am watching you. |
