Hey man, I just returned after a 3 year break and currently in the very early stages of building a small scale PvP corporation.
I know what you mean, the game is fully of edgy folk and it’s off putting. I find that most of the players I used to hang with have literally turned into these kind of people, so I decided to not go back with them (despite how awesome they actually are!).
I don’t have much to offer on the established corp front, but I have in the past helped build a corp from the ground up which went on to be very successful for 4+ years. So I can offer the chance to be part of something fresh. Best to note I am mainly reaching out to GMT+0 (-2+2) due to very low member count.
You can read more here, or reach me in game. Best of luck!
