I recently logged into EVE and found two EVE Mails (one from late December, which is strange because I only got it today) asking whether I was still looking for a corporation to join as I still have the Corp Recruitment Info page up.

The SpaceGeek: I found your blog!

Hi there, I came across your blog and saw you were looking for a corp? Your most recent post talks about moving corp HQ so does that mean you have found a home? Well if not, Singularity Systems is recruiting. We are a new corp created by a few EVE old-timers. We want to make the defacto corp for new pilots. Remember having to solo for 3 months or beg just to get into a corp? We want to make it easy for new players to get on their way to greatness in EVE and help them get where they want to go. This is also the corp for a new killboard hosting service me and my buddies are building. We will offer killboards, forum hosting, website design, custom gfx design, teamspeak servers and shoutcast web radio. The corp is currently populated with just the admins from our site and since it hasnt gone live yet, we are still fairly small but will be growing soon. If you cant join, pass our name around! We will take anybody on and get them trained up to get the most out of EVE. Fly safe!

Hey,

While searching for what the snowball things were n my hangar, i came across your blog.  Have you found a corp yet?  If not, would you be interested in a small (but growing) indy/mission/pvp corp?

This may sound strange but I totally forgot that I wanted to find a corp. For some reason it lagged further and further behind in my list of priorities, especially while helping Heather out*.

In short, I’m not sure whether I’m still looking for a corp. For some reason, I feel less invested in a corporation if I don’t voice chat with the members from time to time (during ops, etc) and I soon lose interest. And since I don’t have a headset or microphone that actually works (and at the moment, unfortunately I have more important things to spend money on), I can’t see me finding the time to really become invested in a corp without voice chat. Back when I had whole days to play EVE, I found it really easy to gain and keep interest in the corp I was a member of, regardless of whether they used voice chat or not.

Another aspect that seems to be putting me off of joining a corp, I haven’t had any luck with corporations in general. About 90% of the corporations I’ve joined have either disbanded or just lost interest in their own corporation. I think I’ve only been in two corporations where I left before the CEO.

I guess we’ll have to see what comes along. Also, The SpaceGeek and Reimhagen, don’t worry; I’ll keep your two corporations in mind for when I finally get around to joining a corporation.

* I know I said that Heather would post a blog post about her tutorial experiences soon but unfortunately, it was a CCP style ’soon™’. As Heather goes to the same college as me, she’s also been swamped with work (more than me!). So it’s been extra hard for her to find time to sit down and write a whole blog post, even in little installments. In fact, she’s even had to be on my computer until 3am while staying the night at mine, doing college work before.
That, coupled with complete and utter writers block, has meant that she’s having a lot of trouble being able to write the post. She’s promised me that she’ll get it done and written up though (as long as I stop bugging her), so it’ll be here eventually. How about giving her a little support in the comments?
