I know every run of the mill merc can easily create a corp.I also know not every company is successeful.
I have created and disbanded countless corps.
let's face facts you can't be successful by recruiting every member in local chat (which is impossible)
nobody on the forums will acknowledge recruitment threads. if they do, they make their own thread reducing chances even more.
Conclusion #1. there will be no more big corps out like true blood or dust university
Conclusion #2. my fast food corp will always have 1 member (me)
Concussion#3. this thread will most likely be bumped before anyone reads it |

their are no people to recruit. i don't use local anymore because that netted a friend of mine 6 members (not even close to what a warfaring corp needs). and the forums, there is a recruitment thread that is heavily visited by CEO/directors,but not enough players looking to be employed. i tried launching instant battles and offering good players i saw to join. all of these methods are inefective,not just for me but for a good chunk of CEO/directors who have galactic domination on their minds. what it really boils down to is the lack of people who want to be in a corp, |

Players joining corporations is a huge thing for us, its something we really want to encourage. Not only does it tend to mean people stick around in the game longer, it tends to mean having more fun. Hell I have a lot more fun while in a corporation.
give a corp more options to be known. the current options are spamming local chat, spamming the team chat, and hasseling people to join with in game mails. |

another problem is that only corp owners check the recruitment thread to recruit while the people who already have a corp take their business elsewhere. the real problem is that i'm too little too late there are already huge corps hogging up players
example: McDonalds is no.1 while a fast food place opened down the street and nobody goes to the new place. |

You have to offer people something to get them interested. If you have only yourself, what can you possibly offer? Most corps that succeed come from people that already knew each other before they formed or found each other in game and were already playing a lot together anyway. That or they were already in a corp together and split off to form a new one.
Once you've got enough people in your corp to form a squad, you can start showing off your corp by filling the top 6 on each scoreboard in matches. Look out for people in pub games who are in starter corps and do well or at least try. Message them directly and tell them about your corp - note: they are unlikely to be impressed by a one man corp but it's still worth trying. Shout outs on local are next to useless and IMHO look pretty desperate and lame.
Basically, get some friends. Find people to play with regularly and then make a corp. Always keep in mind what other people are thinking - why would they want to join your corp? If you can answer that, you're halfway to solving your recruitment problem.
i never said people should join (even though i want them to) all i'm trying to say is that recruitment is dead right now and will continue to be dead unless a miracle happens. like a major corp with a thousand members being disbanded. |
