Edited by: The Hooch on 15/05/2008 00:14:09 Yes my friends a scant 365 days ago our noble alliance was delivered what was supposed to be a "head shot" nerf'ing. We were over 1000 members and were raising holy hell in empire. We had 100 wars raging and were changing the face of Eve.
Then WAMMO, came the "game fix" and that was supposed to be the end of Privateers Alliance. Many corperations left, many stopped paying their dues, others even stopped playing the game. Many laughed with glee that the wicked and hated Privateers were no longer able to threaten the empire trade routes or their ever so precious cargos.
Yet there was a remnant, a few strong believers, a choosen few that said "We will not be confined to the dust bin of Eve history!"
From that point on we began the long and sometimes painful trek of rebuilding. Privateers have been mocked, smacked, and all manner of insults heaped upon us, but we continued. From the pockets of the few that remained and from some faithful contractors that belived in us we remained intact. Like a great beast wounded and bloody by a foe no one can't stand aginst we gained strenth, and began to grow yet once again.
Yes, I am here to say all your carebears tears have failed to kill us, Privateers is still "out there" waiting, watching and eager to take what we have not earned by honest work.
We have many cheap knock-offs now and pretenders in Eve empire but there is only one true Privateers the first, and the best at what we do!
To all the current and past members of the alliance, thanks for hanging tough! To all of those that still think of us as scum, your turn will come!

I always felt that Privateers were the best way to minimize the Jita hub and boosted localized markets alot. Was sad when they got nerfed.
Not so hard! Air gets in between. |

Back then privateers were able to have up to 100 simultanious wars, now the max you can have is 3 or 4, back when this was happening empire was a constant warzone, now its just for trading and carebearing and toothless local smack :(

Much respect Hooch.
More corps/alliances need to upset things in empire. Its too easygoing.

There is no Max, it just becomes progressively more expensive each wardec you have going. --

It used to be funny opening our Wardecs tab and seeing dozens of random corps no one has ever heard of or seen. Now we just have REPO and the occasional random corp no one has ever heard of or seen. :( |

<3 Privateers, always have always will. Only ones I thought of as scum were the Jita 4/4 23/7 campers that whined when it was even numbers or smacked in local when their lagged out prey fought back. Bring back the old war dec method I say! ------------------------------------------------------------------

Congrats Guys Nice to know that the balance changes did not kill off an entity that truly, does bring some flavor to the game, no matter what people say.
I can remember back to when Privateer's first started, i was quite intrigued with the premise that i donated a sizable amount of isk and ships (please, don't tell my corp mates, lol) just to see what direction Privateer Alliance would take. And it was quite a unique and amusing thing to watch.
Unfortunately i have to admit that Privateer's have lost a great deal of my respect of late, due to there treatment of Eve Uni. I'm all for wars (we are a T2 production corp as you might know ) and i think there great training tools for the new players, they have to learn Empire fleet and small gang tactics sometime and better it be before they move on to another corp. But personally, i do think FIVE weeks (and continiuing) of non-stop war Dec's it taking it beyond the bale, especially considering that they are another unique entity that does a lot for this game.
Anyways, best of luck to you all for the next year to come.
