Best of luck getting members. It seems to me none of the new players stay long enough and none of the old players want to join a new corporation. Also, if you want the new players, most don't bother to look in the forums or past the first page of the top corporations. PT only really started getting people when we attacked them like we did to TA, or when we got on the first page. Since it is my duty as PT's advertiser, I would like to remind new corporations that PT protectorate applications are always welcome.
with all due respect, allow me to put in my 2 lil' cents here
1. I'm new to this game, just found it, just joined, and I'm browsing the forum for a respectable and active team to join
- yes, I'm a newbie here, but not new to games, on the contrary, I'm what some may call an old, old gamer, since way before WoW and Tribal Wars and Eve
- as such, I'm not so new to teaming up, organizing and building a team, a corporation in here, guild, federation or however it may be called in other games
2. As a newbie if a stronger and more powerful player/s will attack me, for no reason, with no dumb provocation from me, I take this as bullying behavior and I just leave, abandon that game entirely, as it's a proof to me the game has bullies and it's allowed - unfair battle should never be allowed
- even more so, assuming I'd stay around a little, to get my feet wet, I would never join a corporation who in fact started to attack me, for no reason
that being said, once again, with all due respect, if it's not a "fair for all" gameplay environment, with bullies attacking other smaller, weaker players for intimidation or "recruiting" purposes I'll just leave without ever looking back and with no regrets, as luckily, as you all know, we gamers have so many options to chose from and so little time to play all those great games inviting us
if you want active players, around you, to maybe join your team, to have fun with, don't bully them, on the contrary, help them, treasure them and the community as a whole will grow healthier
if you bully the new guy and think that's OK, then definitely this is not a good place to stick around for long
just my 2 cents, that's all, no offense intended at all
