Corporation selection

What Should I Look For in a Corp?

1. Active Players in YOUR time zone.

Log on during your game play time and ask around to recruiters HOW MANY players are in corp/alliance chat.

2. A corp/alliance that does what you want to do in-game.

No use joining a pvp corp if you want to mine.

3. Does the corp/alliance operate where you do.

Moving your stuff is a pain ... if you have to move ... do they have the logistics to help you?

4. A corp/alliance that has your range of expertise in-game.

IE. you dont want to join a noob corp if you've been in game a few years ... UNLESS you want to help them learn the game.

5. NEVER pay to be in a corp -or- alliance UNLESS you're getting something you want in return.

IE. goonswarm scam ... join our alliance only for 100 mil

6. WATCH the corp tax.

Why make the CEO rich on your hard work ... UNLESS you're getting something in return

7. Does the corp/alliance treat this as a game -or- a second job.

My experience is ... this is a game ... if you want to treat it as a second job ... you better pay me
