Application to Corporation
June 10th, 2010
I have made an application in Eve-Online to join a corporation.
One of the things about Eve is corporations run the game. No, I mean almost literally. Each corporation gains planets and powers, and certain individuals gain enough notoriety they get elected to the yearly council between players and the developers. One of the reasons I decided to try Eve was because of this arrangement. The fact the developers actually (sometimes) listen to the players in such a way is pretty unique. The only game that attempted something similar was Matrix Online, but all the player liaisons that were hired turned out to be too expensive. This tanked the game right from the get go, and why it is now defunct.
There are complaints about CCP I’ve seen. Many of them concern CCP creating content that is never expanded before they bring out something else, leaving loose ends. At least, though, they have the content that they promised in the game.
I don’t want to advertise the corporation I’ve applied for at this time, but it will become clear if I am accepted. Just read my political blog, as the philosophy is similar.
