Hi!
What if CCP enforced us to go into player corps by raising tax in NPC corps for all older then 4 months?
But at the same time limit operational time of corps to 2 months in which corp has to get at least 10 members into it. If there is 9 and below members in corp after 2 months, corp is closed and players are returned into NPC corps.
Why? There is thousand of 1-man corps which isnt point of having corporation and there are thousand alts in NPCs corp which should find their way out of that.
EvE is MMORPG,let make it that way by playing massively in corporations, not playing single player game online..
Flame Away..

Sigh.
You don't need to be in a multi-person corp to play the game socially. Chribba, for example, is his own one man corp and alliance and has been for years.

Wait. Chribba is a one man Corp/Alliance? Where's my CEO's "Wardec Approved" Stamp?! (I mean, come on! He'd have to hire Mercenaries, and really, how long could any one guy hold out? Sooner or later, his ISK would dry up, right?)

Yes, because let's tell people they're not allowed to play the game socially unless we think their circle of friends is big enough. The NPC corp changes I can at least understand(even if I don't agree), but the changes you're proposing to player corps are just dumb.

You must work for CCP's marketing department. All this will do is get ppl to start alt accounts, have them join their corp. Some of those accounts might stay active for longer than the 14day trial.
Most will let their "alt" accounts lapse into inactivity. Inactive accounts still contribute to the number of people in a corp.
Easy work around found, which means your "solution" is flawed.

Tax NPC corps after 4 months. No.
Why? Because for some people who play the game casually and I was one of them for a long time, we liked the npc corp. We helped newer players figure out the game and got them to on thier roads to where-ever. Tax the npc corps and people like Azia Burgee will not be around to help out new players who need the helping hand.
Have 10 members in 2 months. No.
Why? Because alot of people, myself included, form the small corp in order to not have to be called "newbs" anymore and avoid being slapped around in a big corp, relegated to a position of gopher. Some form small corps because they just want to do stuff with friends and maybe they only have three or four of them in the game at this time. Telling them to get 10 members in two months will merely cause grief, especially if ur taxing them in the npc corps which u are now saying that they will be booted back into. I have had a couple people toss out forms to join my corp but they are alts looking for a place to just hang or worse spies or scammers. Why would I want them?
For alot of people, being able to make a small corp (1-5 people) is all they want to do. Small corps of just ur own toon and some friends is easy to manage and usually not a target for war-decs or scammers looking to screw you over.
EVE is designed for both co-opeative play and solo play and that is what makes it so good in comparison to something like Warcrack. In that game you have to do the end game stuff in big groups or you don't go, and for some that's not what they want.
I personally have played the game almost completely solo without interaction for close to 2 years before I gained the group of friend I know hang with. But I created my own little 2 man corp (me and my alt) in order to be not a "newb corper" and not part of a massive overbearing group. It's me and I like that, and I am sure lots of other 1-2man corps are of similar thought.

Wait a sec, how is this fun? Because then people like me are forced to play the game your way? I'm in a 1-man corp and always will be. I'm social enough to satisfy myself, and occasionally chat with others. That makes me social. But I don't jet out in the vast emptiness of space just so I can be annoyed by the corp tab in my chat window. I head out there to explore and be alone most of the time.
Sure, I'd be more than happy to find my way into a large corp like you suggest if you also give me the ability to completely HIDE the chat window, no blinky, no bottom-row tab, no nothin'. Then we can both have our cake and eat it too.
Or here's another idea... Invite me into your corp.

What a stupid proposal! Why would you want to penalize people for actually playing the game the way CCP intended it? They are in PC corporations, and they are part of the game.
What you really want more war targets and make them easier to spot? Come on? Get a grip on yourself. EVE Is MMORPG and people can play how they want to play it, they do not need some turdbrained 15 year olds to tell them how to play this game.
No one forces you, please do not force others either.

1 - CCP has stated they will not force people out of NPC corps (deal with it)
I take it that 10 is the magic number at which you feel it's viable to wardec that corporation. It takes 3 maybe 4 trial accounts to fill that roster (3 + 1 alt on the main account works best... so they can hop to another during wardecs by leaving an alt as ceo)
CCP is not going to force a minimum size on corps, or force players out of the npc corps... they want to cater to the most playstyles they can (keeps them in business)
