BM2 is four years old
Today, my corporation in EVE Online turned four. Honestly, I never thought we'd make it this far.
After an unpleasant wardec early on, almost everyone left except for me, Sachiko Tsukuru and George Fox. The three of us soldiered on while I plowed through the noise of the bots in the recruitment channel looking for new members. We weren't well-enough established to attract anyone through the recruitment forum.
My long-term strategy was slow-growth through the accumulation of good people. With people coming and going, that took a long time.
But we pulled through, and now we have several thriving businesses. We have many space stations running various functions. We have presence in hisec, nullsec and wormhole space. We have roughly 35 active members, and that is continuing to increase.
But most important of all, we have a tight team spirit, and many people say they call it "home." I'm very proud of what we've accomplished. I've always worried about the fact that I don't play a whole lot compared to some of our members. But one pilot recently said publicly that even though I'm not on a whole lot, it's due to my leadership that we've made it where we are today.
Sure, EVE is just a game. But the people are real, and that makes it worth it.
