Sister Libertina	Posted - 2007.12.21 12:08:00 - [3] Some people choose NPC corps for the 0% tax and because they can't get wardec'd. Players in starter NPC corps are usually alts or they are training a character to sell (either legally or illegally)

Or because he's a solo player (lowsec pirate, whatever). "...been designed for one purpose and one purpose only. Imagine a handful of repair drones pouring from the carebear's mouth. Now imagine they have um, nothing." -Unknown Hel redesigner (2007)

Something Random Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2007.12.21 12:10:00 - [8] Because they are between corporations
Lone Solo Caldari State War Academy	Posted - 2007.12.21 12:34:00 - [9] There are litterally millions of reasons for it. You better pick a category. Me, Im an alt who simply havent bothered joining a corp yet.
Niccolado Starwalker Shadow Templars	Posted - 2007.12.21 12:55:00 - [10] Edited by: Niccolado Starwalker on 21/12/2007 12:57:34 Since I never really have found a corporation where I can feel at home - I left and then joined a NPC corp. However, since I could not be arsed with the low intelligent NPC corp chat, I made my own corp untill the very moment I find a home. 1. I love eve and all its aspects, but I am horribly in PvP, so I decided to stay out of it for now. So living in a Deep space region is pretty much impossible for me atm. since I dont want to do PvP. I simply want to play EVE -My- way, not others way! 2. Yes I have friends in many other corporations. I speak with them. Sometimes fly with them. But since I like to do some missions now and then, mining now and then, PvP now and then - all when I feel for it and want for it - I want to stay where I feel comfy. 3. Deep space corporations have to much millitaristic presence for me. Do it our way or get booted. 4. Building a home in deep space is difficult at best since you always stand to loose your home and all your "inventory". Its EVE ofcource, and I dont want it to change. I know that to many this is EVE. So I have found it to play EVE the way I love it: In a more quiet enviroment. 5. For me EVE is freelancer and Elite Fronter, but in a larger online world. PvP have never been my strong side. 6. Again I love EVE. if I can play it my way. I wont advocate for making it more "carebear". I just want it to stay as it it. Let they who wants to stay in NPC corps stay there, while they who wants to stay in Deep space have that option. There is enough entertainment in my honest opinion to suit the PvPer and the carebear!

General Oni Amarr Ministry of War	Posted - 2007.12.21 13:26:00 - [11] In my case it's because I'm more of a casual gamer. I don't get to play much so I don't believe I'll have much to offer a corp. Saying that as of the 27th I'll be able to blow bubbles from my 'dictor, which there's admittedly not a vast calling for in an NPC corp but this was one of my self-imposed objectives in case I changed my mind at a later date.
Harisdrop Gallente The Graduates Brutally Clever Empire	Posted - 2007.12.21 13:32:00 - [12] Sometimes you find yourself at a midway point. Its cool to have it on your employment. Its a nice way to meet new friends. You get hot chicks all the time. People treat you rough.
Lord WarATron Amarr Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.12.21 13:34:00 - [13] Edited by: Lord WarATron on 21/12/2007 13:34:58 Originally by: Darek Castigatus since it came up in the newsletter and i cant see a similar topic already, answers on a post card please :P People like to have high sec alts that can always make them money without risk of wardec. Do remember that a lot of 0.0 heavy duty pvpers have high sec carebear alts, and given that you can make a good income from high sec, it mean that income sustainability is less volitile. I mean, how do you stop a npc corp alt making isk to give to his 0.0 main? The Answer is that you cannot. -- Billion Isk Mission
Pax Ratlin Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2007.12.21 13:34:00 - [14] Originally by: Harisdrop You get hot chicks all the time. People treat you rough. So you like chicks who treat you rough ...... you sir have gone UP in my estimation!
Braaage eXceed Inc.	Posted - 2007.12.21 13:38:00 - [15] I have 2 accounts with 2 main players and 4 market alts in NPC corps. I leave them in NPC corp for 2 reasons 1) Anonimity (is that even a word) 2) To not clutter up corp numbers with useless alts. So even though they are 1,2,3 yrs old they have no skills trained, just an easy way to check market prices instead of moving mains around. -- eve-guides.com All about POSs, Outposts, Exploration, Mining, EVE Database + much more!!
Reax Grim	Posted - 2007.12.21 13:39:00 - [16] i live in low sec and in the newb npc corp lol only reason is i havnt been invited to any corps/or havnt found one from the uk
Ithoriel Amarr Royal Amarr Institute	Posted - 2007.12.21 13:51:00 - [17] I'm in an NPC corp because it suits my play style, gives me an stream of interesting people to talk to, because I enjoy helping people new to the game and because I work for a RL corp. If I want corporate objectives, ego's, personal politics, compulsory corp events, etc. - I'll go to work and get paid for it Growing old is mandatory, growing up is entirely optional
Enve'la	Posted - 2007.12.21 14:38:00 - [18] In the npc starter corp because many corps don't like you just skilling for months at a time and not actually doing anything else.
Earl Black	Posted - 2007.12.21 16:02:00 - [19] If I was in a player corp. I would be booted, many in npc/starter corps just donÆt have the time to commit 1-2 hrs a week 2 hrs at the weekend, some laid back corps say no problem, then request/demand your help with corp duties. Fair point you join a corp to work together, so thatÆs one reason why so many are not in player corps. Not everyone in npc corps has an alt/main in 0.0
crazyiven Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.12.21 16:29:00 - [20] Edited by: crazyiven on 21/12/2007 16:29:15 Originally by: Earl Black If I was in a player corp.

Fair point you join a corp to work together, so thatÆs one reason why so many are not in player corps. Not everyone in npc corps has an alt/main in 0.0 What was stated here is very much true, I have one toon. Been playing sence 04 this guy was and will always be my main. Have tried in the past 2 weeks to find a corp with ties to 0.0. I have had offers then hook up with them in chat then it ends there. Why 0.0 I have 50mill in sp and would like to try to make some isk for cap and dred ship. But Im sure I'll never fly them. And I have made and help start many corps in eve, so my history is a bit long. And have touched about every part on the pvp side of eve. Time is a big issue, I work 10 and 4 my last corp didn't think I was putting out. So I left, tired of the bs on vent. So there are many issues as to why people just stay in a noob corp. I just cant find a corp that can deal with my play time.....
Shaemell Buttleson Darwin With Attitude oooh Shiny	Posted - 2007.12.21 16:43:00 - [21] PPL that stay in NPC corps remind me of the sad tossers aged about 20 who'd hang around the school gates at closing time to pick up the 13 yr old slappers thinking they looked cool!
Calamity James	Posted - 2007.12.21 16:53:00 - [22] 1. I don't play well with others. 2. I'm a casual player and when I do get a free hour, I'm not going to spend it helping someone who could probably accomplish their goal on their own if they'd spend 5 minutes thinking about it. 3. The most interesting part of the game for me doesn't require a corp. I like to play the market and make cash and frankly, I make more money if my helpers are employees rather than grubby guildmates who expect handouts. I just don't have much need for a corporation. I've joined a few in the past, and I always found that I was losing more than I was gaining, in terms of time and resources.
Flourite Gallente	Posted - 2007.12.21 17:05:00 - [23] Check my Time in a NPC corp, am I 50mil sp or just a 800k sp alt?
Max Fantastic Minmatar	Posted - 2007.12.21 17:06:00 - [24] I stay with the an NPC corp because they are my friends... they talk to me when it's quiet... They warned me when the chipmunks came back-- and when my food had that poison in it. Haha-- oh, silly Satan. Yes. Yes, the NPC people are my friends. Why do you think I should ignore them? I think you're ONE OF THE CHIPMUNKS
realbadman	Posted - 2007.12.21 17:49:00 - [25] I'm in a noob corp because i'm basically invulnerable.
Caldari Cylon Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2007.12.21 18:13:00 - [26] I'm in a NPC because i like the *****, that and i just came back after been away for a year and found i have a huge skill blackhole that i'm trying to fill. ===================================== Option A: You talk, we listen, no pain. Option B: You don't talk, I remove your thumbs with my pliers, it will hurt.
Doctor Fruitloop	Posted - 2007.12.21 18:19:00 - [27] NPC corps are for soloers who don't want to pay taxes. People who want to avoid wars. People that like to stay in empire and be able to lord their super..... I mean help new guys. Originally by: Tarminic Originally by: Surfin's PlunderBunny BELIEVE IT!!! If you utter that...phrase...again, I swear to god I'll hunt you down and pod you

Thank you, i couldn't have given a better example as to why quite a lot of people don't wanna join player corps.
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2007.12.23 15:48:00 - [30] Because interacting with others is hard. - DesuSigs
AS Patriot StarHunt Fallout Project	Posted - 2007.12.23 16:03:00 - [31] Working with new players is like working with virgins FFS!!! You get a headeche and you have to tell them how to do all the time and continuesly tell them that what they are doing is good and they don't need to bring more slipcream... _________________________________________________ I fly for these: And I love it
Karma Gallente Vortex Incorporated	Posted - 2007.12.23 16:14:00 - [32] if I could, right now, I'd have no qualms about re-joining my noob-corp (University of Caille) ... but everything I leave a corp, I end up in Aliastra :P
Sister Impotentata Elite Angels Of Death	Posted - 2007.12.23 16:44:00 - [33] Staying in an NPC corp for a few months with a new alt is a good way to lower the suspicion that you might be a spy. "Oh look, SWA for three months and that's it. He's no spy, he really is a noob. Recruit him." ----- TANSTAAFL Originally by: Psycho John Petrucci If there's any point where you feel it's too difficult, then just stop. Because you just, you don't have it, you're just not good.
Dred'Pirate Jesus Amarr Ministry of War	Posted - 2007.12.24 06:46:00 - [34] Because nobody expects the npc alt login trap of doom.. Alt #1: Calmly tanking the locals in his bait drake.. Locals: LULZ we will pwn you you isk farming npc nub!!!!111111 Alt #1: Sure.. Just hang on a few more seconds.. Locals: ?! WTFever die you piece of farmer shiat!!!!111111 Alt #2,3,4 logs in and wtfpwns the defenders.. Locals: HAX!!!!11111 Originally by: David Hackworth ò If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan your mission properly.
Jenny Spitfire Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.12.24 09:28:00 - [35] I am new so I could be wrong. But I think it is because either they can't find a proper guild or they are in between guilds. There is nothing wrong and shameful about in newb corps. --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria! Eve is really big and looks very nice for a 2003 game. Definitely the best game ever!
L70Rogue	Posted - 2007.12.24 11:25:00 - [36] Originally by: Jenny Spitfire I am new so I could be wrong. But I think it is because either they can't find a proper guild or they are in between guilds. There is nothing wrong and shameful about in newb corps. they are corps not guilds you noob
SoftRevolution	Posted - 2007.12.24 11:28:00 - [37] So I can log on and do my own thing in an entirely selfish manner. EVE RELATED CONTENT
Iyanah Minmatar Native Freshfood	Posted - 2007.12.24 11:40:00 - [38] Originally by: Darek Castigatus since it came up in the newsletter and i cant see a similar topic already, answers on a post card please :P well i for one got much of my savings wiped out due to being one of the few loyal members of an alliance in which almost half the members were spies, many of the remaining officers were incompetent fools, and the remaining few were unfortunate victims of this combination of incompetance and being screwed over. i got out and left my corp - which was a smallish one, and was doing it's best to clear up the alliance and give it a pair, but frankly i couldn't afford to stay with them, and i wanted nothing to do with the alliance whilst the rest of the corp directors were determined to save it (and did a fine job for a time, but they ultimately got screwed over again, poor guys ). this coincided with a reduction in time available to me to play, so i withdrew from the 0.0 life untill i could find enough time to play more given the fluid nature of those regions. ========================================== that's no moon... oh, wait, yes it is, the space station's out the other window.
Melor Rend	Posted - 2007.12.24 11:50:00 - [39] I have my mission running alt in an NPC corp simply because I don't wanna be in any corp with that character... pure and simple. I don't wanna be in my mains alliance due to wardecs and tax and I don't wanna be in a player corp because I already have enough to do with my main. If anything gets changed I'll simply train corp management to 1 and make my ego corp for my mission runner.. no big deal either way imo.
Chiron Typhon Caldari State War Academy	Posted - 2007.12.24 13:48:00 - [40] Because in every MMO I've played when I join a corp/guild/clan I end up playing 40 hours a week and my health, sanity and job can't handled that anymore these days. New and smaller by request =p "Draw them in by the prospect of gain, take them by confusion" -Sun Tzu
Hasak Rain Amarr	Posted - 2007.12.24 13:54:00 - [41] 1) To avoid taxes 2) Because I don't like being expected to jump on TS/Vent every time I log on. 3) So I can't get War Deced after killing someone in a corp. {I figure this is somewhat of a trade off for the 10 man gatecamps they assemble to kill me which i cannot compete with on my own.} 4) To irritate anyone on this forum who hates it when vets stay in the npc corps.
Jennai The Greater Goon GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.12.24 15:19:00 - [42] I spent a couple weeks in Aliastra after my last corp disbanded and was surprised at the number of alliance veterans and capital pilots. some were there because their corp disbanded or they got sick of it and left, some had cancelled for a while and got kicked for inactivity, some were just taking some time off to do empire stuff before going back to 0.0.
Galk Gallente Autumn Tactics All the things she said	Posted - 2007.12.24 16:40:00 - [43] A lot of people stay in npc/starter corps purely because having hundreds of people to talk to and help out is a big draw. stayed in cas for the first 5-6 months, back then there was never more than a hundred in the channel, over that time, made good friends with over half that number, many of whom stuck around for the same ammount of months i did fpr the reasons i mention. I know now with 3-4 times that number in the channel it's a buzzing hive of activity of players all enjoying there time in eve helping each other out while exploring the game at steady pace. For many, self included at times over the years, we wish we could go back to the good times. Stonecold hits you at times when your feeling lonely in a corp chat with 5-6 people, half of which are afk'ing, compared to a lively chat where you can allways pick up a conversation and find a new friend to help out ______
DJ P	Posted - 2007.12.24 16:51:00 - [44] Someone with 25m SP can be in an NPC corp because he might be a casual player without time to spend everyday.
