    I especially liked the drone regions one.

    Where can I find an up-to-date sovreignty map? I've been looking at this one (http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/Verite/influence.png) but I couldn't find White Noise on there for instance.

    So near as I can tell we're fighting Atlas and their renters? Or just trying to fuck shit up in the area?

    Fucking with renters and showing them how unsafe they are.

    It seems several have collapsed as a result, or split with their hosts.

    As pointed out, the influx of ~elite pvpers~ and other alliances seeking good fights into our region of operations has only made life even more unbearable for the pets that once took their security for granted.

    More failure cascades and alliance implosions are likely to follow.

    The influence map is up to date, it's just that groups like White Noise, live entirely out of NPC regions and hold no sovereignty. Their members plex like crazy, and run lots of pirate missions, which means they're rich as fuck, and have a huge supercapital fleet.

    and fake edit; beaten by dac with the reasons.

    Is there anything else I can do? I can't send a new application because my old one is yet to be processed.

    Any help?

    What character did you send the application in under? Z is normally crazy busy on business trips, but i'll see if I can wrangle him up on jabber and ask what's up.

    Sorry for the inconvenience. I just accepted your application. I don't normally get involved with admissions these days but I'm feeling pretty good after finishing this bottle of Shiraz. Cheers.

    Bear in mind we never screw with forumers.

    At least not before they fuck up somehow and become fair game through their 'sperging.

    Besides, forumers with roles tend to screw us, so I guess karma is working?

    Awesome. I will make my way out there tonight. I should be able to set my clone out there, and leave a jump clone in Jita, right?

    I believe I just leveled infomorph psychology up to 3 so I should be able to leave a jc in n-theta as well.

    I'd love to get involved in some fleet ops if I can find time this week. My buddy is getting married this coming Saturday and my wife and I are both in the wedding party, so we have a busy week ahead of us.

    I was looking at this DICS thing and thinking about joining...

    They say they'll take "any ship with a point," that means any ship that can put a point on a bad guy? Like say 5 day newbie in a tackling frigate?

    Also, it says to join I should go to "GSOAR groups," but I don't know what that is...

    I'll be ditching this crap corp soon to hook up with some fellow elite pvpers.

    CCP sends out an offer of a free 5 day reactivation to old players once in a while. I've heard every 6 months, but I'm not sure.

    Or if you have 300 million ISK on your chars, maybe you can convince a GM to activate your account for a day, so you can buy a PLEX and reactivate your account that way.

    The response I received far exceeded the response I wanted. The people who logged into jabber and the game were at a months high. The fact that Rath posted was gold, the crown would have been Rob Gee posting.

    You might have gotten an email for a 5-day reactivation, with the next month only being $10.

    Mine was in my junk folder, so you might not have seen it.

    Hey all, I'm an off and on again eve player, looking to get back in and to more than just rat in secspace. I sent an app in but didn't make a forum post, so here we go. Game name is Zendal, been in Merch before but I'm sure everything gets turned upside-down in 3 years. Hope to see you in game!

    Reading the OP gave me a stiff e-boner but then I saw words being thrown around like hardcore. Does this game require a huge time investment to be fun? Or is it like WoW where the time investment leads to a boring end game which leads to a massive time investment for a slight amount of fun? Basically can I play a couple hours a day maybe a few times a week and have fun at all?

    That's enough time. You'll enjoy it playing that often if you find the game fun. As to finding out if it's a game you'll enjoy or not that's what trials are for.

    so i'm going to resub soon, a year after getting bored of being in an awful mining/manufacturing corp; some chap kindly lent me the isk to get a hulk, on the basis i'd use it to pay him back. i promptly stopped playing.

    i also felt quite bad about it at the time, which means i'm most likely a shit EVE player.

    If I start playing this game and I join Merch can I be of any help if I play <10 hours a week? I hate games that become a job, and I always get into them because I don't want to let my friends/alliance/group down so I keep playing even if I hate it. I don't want to be dead weight.

    You can do whatever the hell you want. Dead weight is not a thing that exists in EVE, other than the frozen corpses floating in a field of debris.
