I still haven't seen a compelling argument to persuade the sort of people who prefer to remain in an NPC to corp to join a player corp instead.
Reasons why I stay in NPC corp:
1) No commitment. Log in whenever I want, do whatever I want. Sure, the player corp adverts will tell me all about how "relaxed" they are, but in my experience there is always a level of expectation that you will become a cog in the machine.
2) No SP/Teamspeak/API prerequisites. If you're under 10M SP, don't want to "be active on comms" whenever you log in, and don't want to give a stranger access to your ingame mails then good luck finding a decent player corps that'll accept you.
Not reasons why I stay in NPC corp:
1) Wardecs. Honestly don't care about them either way.
2) Tax. Meh. |

That's all this thread was originally about. Trying to gain an understanding of the reasons players don't move to player Corps, to provide more data for CCP (whether that is a realistic aim or not).
Depends what social engagement means. There are plenty of chat channels and enough people in local for social interaction. If it means players doing stuff together, part of the reason why I and others stay in NPC corps is precisely because they don't want to feel obligated to do stuff with other people, which is what happens in player corps.
NPC corps in EVE are very much like the social/casual guilds in WoW, filled with people who prefer to do their own thing without obligation and take part in group activities when they feel like it, whereas the player corps are more like the dedicated raiding/PVP guilds who expect a certain level of commitment and active involvement. The two groups are quite different and I don't think encouraging one group to cross over to the other will be particularly successful. |
