No they just happened to get all of the players.

RAVEN Industries mate we were back in the early days the boss faction.

As per FoxFour's request, suggestions:

1. Streamlined corp finder which gives a number of parameters a corp can fill out and a player to search for. For instance, a corp can fill out any faction allegiances for FW, a time frame they are most active, mic requirements, age requirements, etc and then the players can search for corps using these parameters as well as narrowing down the search by tax rates, number of players, etc.

2. More things for corps to do, perhaps even a matchmaking system for corps where battles take place in instant battles. Perhaps separate it into three groups - 4v4, 8v8, and 16v16 - then you simply form up your squad of however many players you prefer (this means we'll have to wait for the team deploy feature) and it finds another corp for you to compete against.

3. More benefits to corps. You know one thing a lot of corps want? Their own warbarge. How sweet would it be if you could purchase your own (stealth cloaked ) warbarge that you go to instead of going to the Merc HQ. I mean, you want to try to promote a social environment yet every time we log in we are in an isolated room by ourselves. Add a corp room, as simple as copying the current warbarge, and people will think its cool and want to join a corp for it. If EVE players don't like the thought of this then fine, in the case of EVE-Dust cross corps only do this for the Dust side players.

4. Quick navigation to apply to corporations. Searching for a corporation can take awhile, and even with the idea proposed in point 1 it can still be a bit tedious. But what if you are playing a match and meet some cool people in a corp and think, "Dang, I'd like to join that corp." Well how about when you select their name on the player lists there is a new option, "Apply to this player's corp."

5. Online players love customization beyond no other. Why not allow players to customize their dropsuits and vehicles, maybe even weapons, with their corp colors and logos? People not in a corp will get jealous and want to join, I promise.

6. Allow corp members to put their assets into the corporate assets, then the CEO and directors can determine who has access to corp assets.

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

Maybe if there was something a corp could focus on other than being THE BESTEST CORP EVARRR, we might get somewhere.

I mean, on Eve, we have nullsec corps, wormhole corps, industrial corps, mercenary corps, griefing corps, incursion corps, freighter corps... There's variation. There's things to do. In Dust we're given one option - shoot the redberry.

Solution!
Make better use of that big-as* starmap!
Make PC more meaningful!

Small corps w/aggregate enlisted SP < X participate in PC in Sector A.
Medium corps w/aggregate enlisted SP > X participate in PC Sector AA.
Large/Vet corps w/aggregate SP >> X participate in PC Sector AAA.

^ This would:
1) Keep vet corps from being d*cks and/or "policing" lesser corps (i.e. dictating who can fight who).
2) Encourage bands of buddies to branch out from super-massive corps to form new identity among peers.
3) Add depth to corp progression (i.e. we've been promoted to sector AA, so we're selling sector A holdings).
4) Lessen the likelihood of blue donuts.
5) Mitigate the negative morale impact of imbalanced warfare.


* Also, buff Scout Suits. This will solve everything. Somehow. I'm sure. :-)

I have a sort of sollution.

If everyone who can remember when dust went from closed to open beta we had a large influx of new players allowing smaller corps to recruit said new players . Another large influx of new players also occured after the move from open beta to full release.
The main problem I see is not only player rettention (another time) , but player recrutment.

The main reason I believe ccp is not pulling in as many players is because of simple lack of advertisement I.e. has any one ever see a tv advert ir poster in a bus shelter or bill board advert has anyone heard a radio advert? A little bit of money into proper advettising would help bring allot of new players and thusly people to recruit for the smaller corps.

I just cant believe your lack of advertisement out side of cleichy wee groups im goint to leave tou a wee thought



If you build it they will come .
If you build it and tell every one about it they will ckme in masses.

Yea...and no. Sure this would bring in more players but do your really want more cry babies, noobs, and frustrated naturals here?
I say wait and let the game get better b4 using adverts to attract more players. If they use the current trailers to attract via TV than more players would just be P***** when they see it's not real (yet).


Patience is a virtue and faith can move mountains. Lets just pray we don't have to wait too long for something better.

Squad and Corp Finders would be a great starting set of tools.
