Standing Services
Pre-Crius (August 2014)
The term "Standing Services" was used pre-Crius (August 2014) to refer to players who sold corporations to each other with the requisite standings for anchoring control towers in High Security space. The seller would have made the corporation with a character with high enough standing and when traded the corporation would retain standings for a period of seven days or indefinitely if the new corporation members had no standings to the relevant faction. This would allow the new owners to anchor control towers. In Crius the requirement for standings in POS anchoring was removed and therefore all of these businesses are now defunct.
Post-Crius (August 2014 to Present)
The term "Standing Services" was also historically used for services in which a character could buy personal standings to a corporation or faction. These services still exist as Crius did not change the personal standings mechanics. The oldest running Standing Service of this type is Imiarr Timshae's Personal & Corporation Standings which has been running continuously since 2009.
