It has been said that Eve Online is a massive game, with many intricacies and paths to explore. It has also been said that there is no Single Player. Combine the two and you find what is necessary: a corporation. The only question that lies, then, is which one? Well, I am a member of the TeamLiquid forums, why not join The Hatchery? But what do I expect to gain from joining The Hatchery? One, I expect to gain PvP experience. Two, I expect to learn how to play Eve Online. Three, I expect to gain a corp with which to play the game.

One of the biggest reasons for joining The Hatchery is PvP experience. PvP, simply stated, is combat between two or more players. In Eve, it means all from large fleet battles in null sec to suicide ganking newbies (*cough* tHornton *cough*). The Hatchery’s PvP lies between the two, in low sec space. They gang up and, as they stated “aggressively PvP much larger groups of much older guys in much bigger shit”. If I join The Hatchery, I expect to be able to join these ops and learn how to PvP like the other members in the group, and hopefully become good at it. For instance, I might be able to participate in situations such as the one a few posts above me by Firebolt145. This is not only fun, but also will help me with PvP in any alts I might have, kickstarting my PvP ability. I will learn how to PvP with the best, and so gain valuable experience that will help me with the rest of my Eve career.

Another reason I want to join The Hatchery is that it will teach me how to play Eve Online. As was stated before, Eve Online is a massive game, with many different aspects to it. One can mine, PvP in low sec, pirate, own a corporation, engage in null sec politics, haul, scam, and many more things. It will be very hard to learn all of these by myself, and by joining The Hatchery, I hope to learn many things about Eve Online and how to play it. I may not learn about all aspects of Eve from The Hatchery, but I will learn much about it, maybe getting me addicted to the game.

A third reason I want to join The Hatchery is that it will give me a corporation with which to play the game. Now, The Hatchery members are a tight group. They know each other very well, and will support each other when they feel like it. They are much like the TeamLiquid forums itself: a group not shackled together, but together with a common interest (StarCraft, in this analogy). If I join the Hatchery, I want to join this group which I can play Eve with, but do not have the extreme obligations of one of the very large corporations. I can get off to watch the MSL if I want to, and the Hatchery will understand.

Now those are three reasons I want to join The Hatchery. I know I probably got trolled with this one, but oh well. Better safe than sorry.

great essay btw
