I made a Corp for myself just so I could get out of the one I was in and stop paying taxes to people who aren't even around anymore. In the last 3 months, I think there was someone on my Corp chat twice. This is playing for 2-3 hours 2 or 3 days a week.
I've been paying 5% tax for the last 6 plus months, haven't seen 1 ISK back in my bank account, and don't know who or what it was actually funding. Even at 10,000 ISK every match (I'm lowballing to make the math easy), that is only about 200 matches total for what I just paid for my own corp. I know I've ran WAY more than 200 matches in 6 months. So now going forward every penny is staying with me.
It is just frustrating I couldn't find a corp that I really meshed with (seems everyone wanted Mics for squadding and, when squadded, got upset when I had to bail). With a 3 month old, who knows when I'm going to have to bolt out of a match and I don't want to screw my squadmates, especially my corpmates, so I solo 99% of the time. When I do want to squad, I can jump on Learning Coalition or Dev Hangout. there are always people in both of those places.
Long story leads to a question. What is the wierdest/dumbest/most ridiculous thing you've done with your ISK in this game (besides giving it to Jadek in one of his schemes, that doesn't count. You deserve it.  )

Much the same as you. Joined a certain youtuber's corp, and spent months paying corp tax for absolutely no reason, never squaded with them, and they never did any PC. Strangely this youtuber's wallet is over 1 billion ISK. Funny huh?. Eventually I quit and now I solo or squad up as I like. And keep all my ISK.
Oh and Jadek's Financial services are genuine. He doubled all the ISK I ever sent him.

That last part was partially in Jest. I've never "taken advantage" of his services but have heard enough stories I couldn't pass it up.
But yeah, I hear you. I joined because my original corp folded and needed somewhere to go. At first it was pretty good and there were people around to squad with. Then, like nothing, it all just dried up.

Strangest thing I've done with ISK in this game? Hmm.
How about spending 19 million ISK to immortalize this lyrical masterpiece.
Note: Each line of HTFU is a new corporation here.

It wasn't so much a learning thing with me. It was not wanting to shell out the ISK for it. I've been looking for a corp actively for about 2 months now and finally just said screw it, I'm making my own. I just did it today and it was money well spent, already. It was refreshing knowing that everything I earned was going to me, not someone else.

I went into the corporation section of the menu and couldn't find any options where it said "leave corp". I've never seen anybody in matches I've played that did not have a corp, so I assumed you had to be aligned with one.

It was Knights of the Round. Honestly, I don't really think it was a swindling or anything like that. Everyone just stopped playing. There hasn't been a post here in the forums on our corp section since July.

Seriously, if you want to just get out of it, feel free to join my Corp. I set the tax at 10% just so I could build a little savings account (If I don't see it, I can't spend it. You know what I'm saying) but if I know someone else is joining, I'll reset to 0. I will be like Switzerland. A little tax free haven people can go who don't want to pay taxes to people. HAHA
I was with them for a while, I won't be joining just yet...

I did the same...
Except for one detail. I made the corp a long time ago, back in chromosome, hoping that I would actually accomplish something with it. But nothing happened. Over time, a few months ago, I added a 5% tax to see how much money I could amass in my corp wallet. I actually have no idea how much I have in there right now. Will update when I know.

It's too late for you, but for anyone else. Simply find your name in the Corp roster, select it & you should get the option to leave Corp. |

Little spelling error in your corp description, but I find it pretty cool (Did I see a 300 reference?  )

Leaving corp puts you in an NPC corp with 11% tax - so better off making your own.

11% NPC Corp tax?!?!
I haven't been in a NPC corp since closed beta. So I won't argue with you. |

Yeah, it's been a LONG time. I know the new NPC corps when you first start are 0%, but I'm going to take your word for it. Thanks for putting the word out for people.

I was in a few corps and wasted some isk, but I like the guys I am with now 0%, always helpful, always people on, always groups going, almost always chat, a mid to low douche bag ratio 8D, and despite it being a "starter guild" there are pretty skilled players.

Do you guys have a pub chat? Since I just started this Corp today, I'm not interested in joining, but I wouldn't mind jumping into comms and squadding up with people. That is all corps are really good for anyways is finding squads.
On that note, anyone else have a pub chat channel they'd be willing to share so I can join the chat channel at least?
