    Probably because you joined the forum in order to join MRCHI, or at least, your join date and post history indicate that. You could hang around a while, become a regular poster, and try again with maybe better luck.

    After reading two threads I could find on here, I'm restraining the urge to hop up and down like a giddy schoolgirl.

    I'm on my THIRD trial account in two years now, and I'm looking to take the plunge this time. WoW is getting boring, It's been nothing but minimal gear upgrades for my character for six months now. At the same time, ratting and running random missions is just as boring to me; it's the same damn grind, just with a metallic sheen and 125mm railguns. MerchI looks like unhealthy amounts of fun.

    I've been lurking the PA forums for over a year, mostly on WoW-related topics (back when WoW had it's own forum), so unfortunately this small solitary post will do nothing to help my credibility :(

    Knowing this I'm a little hesitant to even apply, especially if it's most certainly going to be rejected for LOL POST MOAR.

    Question for you guys, while I'm at it: what's the best thing to do with all the junk I looted during the opening missions? (small sensor dampers, nos, ecm, random targetting mods - all meta level 1 or 2 shit). Make a couple of trips to Jita to pawn it? Whole or reprocessed?

    Reprocess and sell the minerals, since you're probably not the only one wondering about this. If you're not sure on some of the named items, save them for later until you've got a handle on what is "best named" that you can sell or use, and what is shit you trash.

    Postin to let you folks know I'll be sending an application off later today (and checking in the chat channel). Like I mentioned in the newbie thread my characters mainly a Caldari miner / trader and the accounts been on and off for awhile so I'm looking for a little more corp / lowsec involvement this time around, having technically been with DCM for 2 years. (Characters name is 'Valentine Deteis')

    Does the merch have a lot of GMT players or is the bulk on US time? (spyspy lol)

    Hey guys. Just applied to Merch Industrial under the name of Talanad. I tried to play this about 6 months ago, but I just didn't have the time. But this time around, I plan on playing it as much as possible to see how I like it. Hopefully I can get out into 0.0 and see how PvP is.

    Ok I'm an idiot. I had a char named Miliwen, but I deleted him. I applied with Talanad. Stupid names.

    I just got a trial account, downloaded the client, installed it and I'm ready to make a character so I can try and join MERCH. However, my memory is a little fuzzy on the character creation stuff.

    Didn't there used to be a Goonfleet page designed to show people how to make combat characters right off the bat?

    Edit: Whoops. Found it. Must have skimmed right past it when I was reading the first page.

    Edit again: After tutorial I'll be applying under the name 'Misutei'.

    Seems like alot of people joining a fairly old game recently. I'm on the trial version at the moment, on my way to apply.

    I'd played it a while back and it seemed interesting, but the game was just so massive and I didn't feel like learning it. I'm giving it another go because it seems like alot of PAers are into it, and I love me some space shootin's.

    Anyway, my name is Mando Protok.

    I'm gonna apply to Merch. I've already played EVE a little (about 1-2 months, I forget), so I know the basics. Just getting back into the game again (not trial). I'm at Cruiser level, just doing agent missions and salvaging.

    I'd like to get into 0.0 though, and I'm leaving the corp I was in (friend's corp) which I have returned to find dead.

    In-game alias is Arka Zin. Probably put my app in tonight or tomorrow.

    If this game was single player like Tycho said, I would never play anything else. As it is, its very easy to feel like a very small, insignificant cog in a huge machine.

    It is also one of the most beautiful, if not most beautiful, games ever made, so I dono what to say.

    Go do some stuff. You don't have to wait in the station for the app to go through. You don't even have to wait in the same system. Go rat/trade/mine/run missions for spending cash while you get worked through the system.
