After 1/3 of a year, Agony is finally reopening recruitment!

Please read Joining Agony article on the wiki. Especially make sure you read, understand, and are comfortable with the Agony corp philosophy and culture found in the About Agony Empire article. Finally, fill out the New Applicant Questionaire which has been recently revised.

Note: Some people have submitted applications already before recruitment was officially open. Since then, we have revised the last question on the questionnaire which pertains to having alts in other player corps. This policy has been altered slightly so please redo the last question and resubmit your application.

Note: Depending on how many people initially apply to Agony, we may decide to limit the number of new applicants if we do not have sufficient mentors to take on everyone at first. If this happens, we will notify you via pm if we'd like you to wait while we orient the new people and get them setup and running in Agony.

Looking forward to getting to know and fly with some new voices. 8)

Ok, so, I took Basic about a year ago on a different char that I no long possess (took a break from EVE, gave it to a friend, who quit and sold it). Am I stuck retaking Basic or can I talk with a director about working something out?

If you've taken a year's break from EVE then I'd recommend you retake PVP-BASIC. You might find a thing or two new that wasn't in the curriculum one year ago. ;)

Hi, I'm new to EVE online, but I'm a old timer mmorpg player, I have been playing for over 9 year now. I did read about your applycation, but I would like to know if i can fill my New Applicant Questionaire before I get in the basic training. That way I could join you a soon as I finish my basic pvp training if you want me in. I find the pve boring in this game and I need some good combat stress. My ingame name is Nemsik and if any one of oyu want to get a noob that want to learn playing with you let me know !lol PS. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French Canadian

8.4M sp specializing in covert ops plus other alts :-). RL experience as an emergency medical tech. Quite interested but no PvP experience because while adventuresome, like to be prepared and never had an idea where to begin. Guessing that the best thing to do is wait for PvP basic to come around again and hope to get on the list in time. Apt

I currently am running a small corp in Lonetrek with two directors and couple more active players. I am looking to move me and my two directors into some thing new. Attempting to run a corp, recruite, keep players happy, learn pvp ..etc..etc..etc can be very consuming. At this time I feel we need a change, the rigors of attempting to grow a new organization in a mature New Eden is wearing us out. My core team 2 RL peeps(including me) bring 2 pure pvp toons all over 10m SP (Kragos...Me) and 15 msp 3 pure mining, industrial (T2 creation - Gallente, Caldari and Minmatar) My question in short is ..what options does Agony have for peeps with industirla alts? 1. Can we leave them parked in our corp of only Agony Alts? 2. Do we bring them into Agony...since they really are not fighting toons. The 5 "carebear" toons are all very low fight skills for themost part. We have all spent a lot of isk and time grooming this toons and we don't want to park them into a "Logon Change Skill" comma. Who could I contact to find what options would be good for us and Agony. This is assuming you accepted our PvP toons applications and all other Agony expectations were met. Also does Agony offer internal classes/certifcation that condense your classes for Agony pilots? I have another director that would join, but not sure if he can give 8hrs (start to finish) to complete class requirements. He would add another PvP toon (30msp) and two more industrial/invention toons - with Amarr T2 and is close to CAP (Frieghter/Dread or Carrier) Thanks for your time, Kragos Hoegaarden

I would start off by reading, Joining Agony Empire.

We have systems with sovereignty for ratting and mining, so we have some industrial characters within our ranks. The general guidelines are on the wiki, so almost all of your questions will be answered there with some level of detail.

If Agony seems like a place you would like to join simply fill out the application listed on the wiki and post it in the general forum. All of the requirements are listed on the wiki, so good luck.

We do require all members to take the Basic/Advanced PvP to become core members, so that would not be waved. More of the assorted details are on the wiki.

Thanks for the quick reply....ok got most of that answered. The only question I really need answered with some detail before I have my two directors and I file applicaitons is do you have condensed classes for Agony PvP pilots...condensed meaning 2 to 3 hour range..not 20 mins. I did read something about having an instructor work with you, but not sure if that means in one of the full classes? or just for testing. Thanks for you time, Kragos

The theory portion of most classes are about that long, so one could skip the practical/fighting component. After sitting through twenty assorted classes I think the last part is the most fun once the knowledge transfer is complete. The idea of flying around with 80 frigates/destroyers/cruisers is somewhat crazy, but take a glance at the killboard and you will see the deadliness of it all. :)

The purpose of all of our classes, whether internal or external for that matter boils down to simple knowledge transfer. You have a couple of months to knock out the Advanced, Basic and Structure & Ranks certifications. All agony ensigns start off with a mentor to help them along with the transition, so I wouldn't worry too much about the time commitment. I have not seen a single soul come into Agony that had any issues with passing the three certs in a couple of months.

You can technically graduate a course after about 4 hours. As Acobar said, the most fun is the practical trip to 0.0, which is optional, but in my view the most fun. Agony pilots are then encouraged to fly with future classes if they can. I often pick up the class after the theory part these days and just do 3-4 hours of what is in effect a roaming gang with the students practicing their new knowledge under the guidance of an Agony FC. So if time is an issue for classes, there are options.......but if you can, try to do the theory and practical parts in one hit at least once.

* You should be aware that AGONY has a policy that alts of AGONY can only be in AGONY, a NPC corp or a corp comprised entirely of only AGONY alts. However, exceptions may be made on a case by case basis at the discretion of the Directors and Senior Leadership of AGONY. Several factors that go into this discretion include:

*Your alt should not be in a major 0.0 corp/Alliance.
*Your alt may be in an empire carebear corp/alliance that you use for funding your main in Agony.
*Your alt may be in a corp/alliance with someone else who has an alt that does pvp, but your alt should not be in a corp/alliance that does pvp.
*Your alt should not be in a corp/alliance in competition with AGONY whether in pvp or otherwise.
*You should be focused on Agony and spend more time on your main in Agony than on the alt in your other corp/alliance.
How do you feel about this? If you would like to maintain an alt in another player corp/alliance, then please state each of your alt's names, what you do with them, what the corp/alliance they are in does, and why you would like to keep them in that corp/alliance. [color=#0033cc]

Atlas pretty much summed up the alt policy with this extract from the application, Copter can certainly answer any questions you might have on the subject.

yep my alt is a carebear. All my alts are carebears. I've spent the last 6 months building up my main alt so I could bring A peck back out to PVP. My other alts or support for him. One has 3m points in leader and only has 4 skills in it. one hauls and the last one is a noob miner.

How do you feel about this?


My feelings are random and confused. To kill or not to kill. or in my case to die or not to die being the meat shield for ppl like Angelic. Should I drink to night or shouldn't I. I guess I should. :D

We require either 10 mil SP AND relevant pvp experience, or prior completion of a Basic class. If you have past pvp experience then we can talk, otherwise keep an eye out for the next pvp-basic.
