EVE is a sandbox. The only content is player generated. It is much easier to create and find content with friends.
Fun in EVE comes from interacting with other players, both friends and enemies. It is almost more about the meta game than the actual game of shooting spaceships.
A corporation can also help to educate, and support you in EVE. Of course there are good corps and bad ones, so don't feel you have to stay in a bad one.
Solo you will find EVE a very boring place, and likely cancel your subscription in short order. |

Tau, you give an enormous amount of helpful information in this forum and I make a point of reading what you have to say about anything that interests me, so I'm very surprised to see you post this. How do you know what another person will or will not find boring?
I don't, hence I clearly stated "likely".

You and I are in the minority.
Oraac Ensor wrote:If, as a very experienced player, you tell a newbie categorically that being in a corp is the only way to enjoy EVE you're not doing him any favours. Suppose he joins a corp but finds that he doesn't like the experience. If he takes your word as gospel he may take the view that if that's the best the game has to offer then he may as well leave, when in fact if he stayed on he may find that he enjoys the solo experience. How does that help either him or the game as a whole?
Hence I clearly stated, "Of course there are good corps and bad ones, so don't feel you have to stay in a bad one."
Oraac Ensor wrote:The OP has asked about the benefits of corp membership - please by all means tell him what you perceive them to be, but don't tell him what he will or will not think.
Nothing I've posted in my 5 years can be construed as anything more than my opinion, especially in a thread where the OP calls for opinions. |

They just don't like advice and expect it all to be served dressed up nice with fluffy dice on a silver platter.
Heads up, I don't work like that. If I think people are acting like a ******, I will just say it to them (both on the internet as well as in real life. It's why some people like me and some hate me).
I can vouch for that being the case with all the posts of J'Poll I've seen.
J'Poll is one of the forum regulars that I have recommend people seek out postings by. |
