Split the zerg, and people be more independent instead of worrying about one big force.

Evening. Historically, pst time zone is just one of the least populated. Its like a self fulfilling prophecy, in that pst players come on and the population is low, so they leave, and we never exceed terminal mass.

lol, Mara is talking about something else.
As you can see there are already a lot of people suggesting you what to do.

Form your own opinion. I think your corp is on a good way and im looking forward to have some friendly PvP with you guys.

there is no problem there are hundreds and thousands of new players starting game everyday this is a nitch market the new player experience is not broken there is no inbalance in bots 9 out of 10 players stay in game. that that 100+ people you see in general is not accurate they didt code it right to show everyone to see real amount of players multiply the number by 10 thats the real number of people online at any one time you just dont see thos extra players cause they jumped off the content just before you jumped in.

training times are right online 1490 is perfect amount of ep per day

on the up side you have over 4 years worth of extensions you can work on to kill the time while you wait for the problems that dont exist to be fixed its a win win hmm now that i think about it 3.7 year just to train combat extensions to 10 another year or more for support skills lets not even think of ew that amount of content is mind blowing wonder when the actual game content will equal the required 4 years of time.

but on a true note these issues will be fixed the day the hardcores get there heads out of there butts and instead of trying to tell all the new players there wrong and nothing is wrong and help to figure out way to get new players to stick around you wont have anyone to shoot at simple fact

the noisy wheel gets the greese and the people that make the most noise are thos who dont want there advantange changed so nothing gets changed. strangely enough most of thos noisy people are all in the same corp will let you figure out which one lol.

Make everywhere beta. Problem solved.

Unfortunately all the sheep have gathered into one big blob led by CIR at the moment so you wont find small groups going solo.

Once Novablob, to steal Dadars phrase (thought you'd left btw?) gets its head out of its arse and breaks up its giant nap train we might see some more action out there

hmm, i wonder - why does the Topic starter not meet m2s's small roaming groups? they are so against the blobs, but cannot be found?

We were outside the outpost yesterday...

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

The roam itself was textbook but nothing like covering 3 (actually 4 if you count tellesis) and only getting an unlucky 62nd.  nWar gave us a good fight, as always.  However, FOOM is very concerned about the game being heavily biased.

Because they're not happening as much anymore for exactly the same reasons.

Norhoop has pretty much fallen apart. It's not that place anymore where you could sneak in and hope to find someone to kill and then see if you can deal with the defending forces. Only F-Navy and SK moved to Brightstone to begin with, the rest just sort of petered out.

Novastrov tends to be well scouted and even when it's not there doesn't seem to be anything happening there. They also never engage unless they are sure they can win which translates out to us standing around like *** waiting for them to hit critical mass and once they undock there isn't much we can do except leave.

After countless hours of roaming and not finding anything I'm personally rather tired of it.

The other islands are just uninhabited and empty. I've heard reports about TOG living out of Darmahol but certainly not a whole lot of them, nWar lived in South Iseitsu at some point and 62nd wanted to move into KKO but I'm not sure they ever did that.

If you think about it, there isn't even any reason for anyone to actually live on beta. There's still no benefit to it. You might aswell sit in some alpha outpost and occasionally start expeditions into beta if you need something there, haul it back and be done with it. All the beta islands are just way too close to alpha islands for it to be beneficial to actually set up a camp in the wilderness.

EvE has this vast expanse of 0.0 (Or is it negative sec space now?) where a corp could basically just decide to move into some remote corner of it, make some deal with the local power block and feel relatively safe actually living there, especially since organizing the logistics back to high sec isn't something you'd want to do every day if you don't have access to a jump bride network or JFs. Or you could just move into some w-space system and hang around there while occasionally fending of unwelcome visitors.
Here everything is the equivalent to a short trip to the shops right outside the door.
This also means that a single corp can prevent you from feeling safe on any beta island in the game because it just doesn't take them that long to check the entire pvp area for targets.

There is no mechanic to hold territory either. It doesn't matter who owns an outpost, everyone can just move in there and prevent you from feeling or being even remotely safe in the area.

Obviously the average player doesn't feel overly compelled to live on beta if he can avoid it.

Syndic +1

thats all were working for atm:

Unfortunately is that this is the exact opposite of m2s goals.

Towards more euro time zones.  Apparently I went into Yoda mode and forgot to finish my train of thought.   Stupid, am I?

Our stated goals are to own 1 outpost of our choosing - which we are doing quite fine. The new corps and the neutral forces of the server, will only get our full help in claiming and carving out their own piece of land, if that is what they want.

For someone whose goals are to own everything in game, you're doing a pretty piss-poor job at showing up lately, nevermind contesting an intrusion. Yesterday at Danarchov and today at Brightstone was what, the 3rd no-show in a row? In every game except Perpetuum, the elite PVPers do PVP in-game, not on the forums. Its a bit different here unfortunately.

Thankfully for you, we are more interested in helping new corps like FOOM and AET get set-up then attacking the outposts you have hoarded. By all means, tax 62nd and nWar and the others, the NIC to buy the ore to rebuild those 40-50 heavies that went nuclear has to come from somewhere. Those of us with truly infinite supplies don't bother with such frivolities.

How are the ore prices lately btw?
