i was wondering if i should join a small corp, and then i would really be in from the ground up (with the responsibility of staying) or join a big established, impersonal, alliance affiliated corp. this is all in 0.0 by the way...and i cant see myself staying in a corp for more than a year.
what do people think? |

You pretty much answered your own question. Do you want the responsibility that comes in a small corp, or the anonymity that comes with a large one. ___________________

Moved to General Discussion. Only players who are in actual player corporations may post in CAOD.
You should still get a lot of helpful and useful advice in this section.

I would suggest joining an existing corp to cut your teeth - learn the ropes etc, then eventually if you feel inclined to create your own.
Theres an awful lot to be learnt from a good corp - and even big ones dont have to be impersonal :)

Do you want to command or follow ?
If you can't think of a corp goal , there is not much point in creating your own corp.

The advantage to being annonymous in a large corp is the greater freedom that goes with it:
Lots of CEOs like to see members active in corp activities or they kick you out for various reasons.

Honestly, Find a medium sized corp and learn the ropes first. Find a 0.0 corp with 50-60 people, and learn to PvP. A corp of that size will teach you how to play, but you wont be a faceless member, nor one of the only ones online at a given time.
Other than that, find your own way in eve. thats the glory of this game, is that you arent limited on who you can buddy up with. Your gameplay is all up to you. --

The big advantage of an established corp with veteran players is that there is so much information not taught by the documentation or the tutorials. An older, larger corp will serve as a knowledge base so that you don't stumble over all of the ways that this game can trip you up.
Of course, learning the hard way has its plusses, too.

I started out in a corp with a guy I ran across in a roid belt one day. We ended up learning alot of stuff talking back and fourth about things we heard here and there, then I joined an alliance and figured out I didn't know anything about 0.0 and picked up a few good things, but was hard to do anything because everyone was on a differen't time zone The best thing to do is look over the differen't corps and alliances that your interested in and make a choice on what fits you, that or form your own corp in the image of what you like. _____________________________________________ I Survived Bootini and all they gave me was this stupid forum post |

Tiny empire corp: Get ready for big dreams that go nowhere, grinding, recruitment, no one to chat with, pouring effort and money into new members just to have them leave or stop playing EVE! Huge 0.0 corp: Get ready to be exploited, underappreciated, and screamed at by your CEO and FC's until you can't stand it anymore and leave for empire!
That's a summary of MY corp experience, at least. YMMV. |

Imho what size the corp is shouldn't be your primary concern. What should be is how well you think you'll get along with others in it especially its leadership, are they fun people to play with, are they heading in the direction that you want to be heading in game, are they doing stuff that you want to do? Recruiters don't always provide an accurate picture of what's going on, so the only way to find out is to join in. If you do not want to look like a corp hopper on your main, you can always ask them to put an alt in for a week or two and some recruiters agree to this. Or you can ask the recruiter to give you names of two or three corporation members and talk to them in addition to talking to the recruiter to get that better picture of what's going on.

I don't know how u got the idea that established corps/alliances are impersonal
I have lived in 0.0 for over 3 years now, and have worked my way to the director role within my corp. Almost all the corps i have flown beside in the alliances i have been in (including my own) boot out members who do not socialize with other members, they dont want the loner type players. They want ppl who will offer help when anyone ask, and someone who is willing to ask for help when they need it. People who get on TS and chat the ears off fellow corp/alliance mates.
A corp or alliance is only as impersonal as you make it, if you dont talk to your corp mates then they wont talk to you. You will find many players are chat for hours if u find a common intrest ingame or out.

what you want is a corp that plays when you play. if your american and play after work or school, join an american corp or one that has people from that country in it.
Its very lonly being in a corp of 30-40 but be the only person online all the time because everybody is in a different time zone.
attionally joining a large corp can be bad unless you have a very friendly and out going personality, and be ready to get involved in everything otherwise people won't know you and possibly won't talk with you.
joining a smaller corp where you know everybody and people are on at the same time as you can be very good for enjoyment and for learning.
Also be prepaired to support yourself or at the very least pay back any loans you might make, I try never to ask for anything unless I really want that next ship/module what ever but I'm always prepaired to give stuff that i borrow back

This is the same advice I would give somebody in the real world: Sign on with a big, well-known company (corp) after you graduate (register a paid account) and learn the ropes. That'll give you a chance to see to a wider variety of what's possible in the game, and help you make connections. When you've got some experience (SP) under your belt, and know more about what you want to do in life (EVE), join a small corp where you can be effective in your specialty and play a more important role.

depends if you want to do anything different
run missions all day for a ship to run more missions in = NPC corp
Stationary PvP corps = Join them
0.0 = Join them
You need friends to make a corp work if you aren't doing anything different why should people join that corp.

If you are new, at least get your feet wet in the existing corp. Even if you do intend to leave them and start your own corp later, it is a good idea to see how a corp is run first. There are a lot of pitfals about leading a corp that you best learn from the safety a large corp can provide, and this will also help you set up some contacts to fall back to when you get in trouble.
Trying to set up your own corp once you know what you are doing is quite alright. It's a serious challenge and commitment, but for some that's how they have their fun. |
