Hiya Invel! Saw you in OOC the other night, real glad to see you back!
On the Amarr end of things:
- CVA is still in Providence, though unfortunately their major RP corp seems to have closed up. We still see occasional RP coming out of the Provibloc, though.
- PIE is still PIE. They've opened things up somewhat and now have an alternate corp, Praetorian Auxiliary Force [PAUX], for non-Amarr toons to operate under the PIE alliance. Gaven Lok'ri is currently running things.
- Not sure if this was the case when you left, but KOTMC closed a while ago.
- Societas Imperialis Sceptri Coronaeque [SFRIM] is an alternate Amarr corp run by Nicoletta Mithra. They're more relaxed in comparison to PIE, with less of a focus on ranks and racial/ship 'purity'. They are not in FW.
Finally, a note on Faction Warfare. I apologize if this is redundant, since I'm not entirely sure when you were last around: FW in general is in a pretty bad place, having been overrun by farmers for some time now. Due to a quirk in how LP is payed out, it is actually most valuable to be in a militia that is losing territory after having controlled most of the warzone. So, one side will achieve near or total system conquering, then over the course of a few weeks control will rapidly swing back to the opposite side's favor as people fire up their farming alts on the opposing side to grind out more LP and up-value what they've already collected. Fortunately CCP seems ready to release a colossal nerf to this, so we'll see.
