...me being the pet of the CEO...

Was his name Sabre A?

No... his name was Winters... to this day we keep telling ourselves, that "Winter's coming"

Im doing this because, this is how i got into the game, i became the apprentice and recruiter of a pilot who since has moved on... The plan in the beginning was to start a corporation and recruit all noobs possible, let natural selection do its thing and see who remained. After awhile a rebellion arose, me being the pet of the CEO, ofcourse took his side and we crushed them together with 3 other loyalists at "the great battle of Rens"...

After this little episode we went out to our leaders homesystem in lowsecurity space and have stayed here since. I have made some effort to grow our corporation since then but more than often pilots who have been recruited have not followed our philosophy and have just been a dissapointment in the long run. 

These are often pilots with no patience, who only want a fancy killmail and cant see the bigger picture...

So i have some extra time and isk on my hands to spend on an apprentice who is willing to learn and see the universe trough our eyes...

Also i should say im in the GMT +2 timezone, so far ive been in contact with one pilot but i think he might be in the opposite timezone, which is not optimal.

Im simply looking for someone to mentor.  

Someone who wants to learn piracy, pvp and pve and hopefully one day will join me in the ranks of my corporation.

Message me if interested.

No disrespect Mr. Hum but it is not a good idea to post ones ingame name with new bounty system expansion just released. Just saying i would not. Go to CCP EvE forums and see who might be hireing. Trust no One. Be prepared to lose everything when you undock.

 

I wonder what it's like to be so scared of a game?

I can raise my pulse by thinking of pvp in Eve

EVE is hardcore, its not difficult, but it doesnt hold ur hand.

I think thats how u measure how hardcore a game is, how much it holds your hand.

I feel like eve is one of the only mmorpgs where grouping actually is encouraged.

One thing that got me hooked on eve was the numerous ways u can fit ur ship.

Theres like a hidden class system, where if i fit my ship right, i can be either a healer, tank, dps, support or whatever strange combination.

I also like the fact that i can play for free... cus you know, im so awesome at making isk (plex)

To me this expansion came out of nowhere feels like it was yesterday they announced it, didnt cost me a cent and was a nice addition.

Looking for pilots interested in lowsec pvp/pve.

New and experienced pilots are welcome, we operate in a relatively safe region of New Eden which makes missioning a viable source of income but pvp is always around the corner for those looking to get their hands dirty. 

We are a smaller corp with lots of friends, which means we are able to give guidance to those in need of it and teach you how to say "YARR!".

If you are interested, plz pm me your ingame name and i will be in contact shortly.

Feel free to post questions.

If u start a new character it would take 27 days to be able to fly a smartbombing battleship, ur never too late

I wasn't suggesting that to create a MMORPG with better socialization we had to return entirely to the old ways, but I do feel we've thrown the baby out with the bath water so to speak and players might find that reasonable downtime or travels would improve socialization and interaction. Of course, I realize some follks (OK, apparently many of them) don't play MMORPG's for their social aspects, they're looking for a "game" rather than a world so it comes down of course to a matter of taste.

But I do reject the argument there isn't enough time. Haven't seen anyone yet who was more time challenged then I (some were about equal) and still I prefer games with deeper playing mechanics even if it takes more time to get to the end. (whatever the end really is)

For all the claims about how much fun the new mechanics are, it seems to me players are less satisfied and generally play for shorter periods of time in any one game more than ever before.  They hop from game to game, back and forth seraching for the fun. Once they exhaust the content they move on, and those who tend to stay on usually say a big reason is because their friends or guild are playing so they're really there for the socialization, and not the gameplay.

I  know everyone agrees that we don't all have to like the same things, however I still think a pretty amazing MMORPG could be made that would draw a good portion of subscribers if only Developers would break away more from the current MMORPG mold that so many try to copy.  Unfortunately when designing games swinging for the park fence seems to be the only way to go so they try on include all the features they think appeals to a particular large segement of the market in hopes of luring them away.

 

I agree and disagree.

Here's what I think is(was) being missed by current and old school developers.

People don't go to the grocery store to meet people.

People don't sit in the lobby while their car is worked on to meet people.

And they certainly don't roll the window down at the light to chat with the person in the car next to them.  Unless she's Liv Tyler, or the person cut them off, or both.

You may recognize the parallels I'm drawing, here.  None of those things are natural environments for socialization, so even what little social interaction that occurs in those states doesn't feel very "social".

But they do go places TO meet people.  And those places are lacking in most MMO's.  Or are at least lacking in DRAW to those places.

In most MMO's, cities are just quest hubs with sell-off merchants, and they sell the same stuff in every town.  Here and there you have special vendors, for rep items and stuff.  But once you've been to one city, you've for the most part been to them all in terms of vendors, townsfolk, and your interactions with them. 

LotRO, for example...

Give players a reason to sit down in the Prancing Pony, or to dance outside by the boar fountain.  SWG did this(and subsequently ruined it) with Entertainer buffs.  Give "entertainees" a tip jar, and make entertaining a "hobby".  Make dancing a "hobby".  Make the drinks Butterburr sells USEFUL.  etc, etc.  Listen to music, drink bevvies for X minutes, gain "hope" for Y minutes.  Make some practical use of the MIDI music system...

But IMO, using the older systems of memorizing, slow recovery, long travel, etc. just reminds people of long, dull road trips, and waiting for the pizza to come out of the oven.

This ^ i would buy

Sure
