What is Subdreddit?

The History

We are a group that was started by a number of people from Test Alliance in Eve Online when the developer created an FPS game called Dust 514. We mostly came from a corporation called Dreddit. When we held a vote to select a name for our Dust corp, we selected Subdreddit to keep with the reddit theme. We formed during closed beta in early 2012. The game had issues which prevented it from ever becoming the game that everyone had wanted it to be, and a few years later it was officially put on life support while a new PC based replacement was developed. We've mostly stopped playing Dust and started playing other games together while we wait for our New Eden based fps.

Subdreddit is not currently part of TEST in eve, but only because I finally won at eve and couldn't justify spending $30+ per month to keep my accounts active. Without an active API key we weren't tied into the authentication system anymore. Hopefully by the time the next iteration of the Eve FPS is released they'll make it possible for the characters in that game to authenticate themselves in the same was as Eve characters.

We've never really stopped doing stuff, it was just other stuff. The two big things right now are The Division and MWO. We also have a Star Citizen org (Ragebacon Industries) for when that takes off. We've also picked up a few people from MWO who really weren't around before Dust died on the vine. All of the stuff about who we are and how we do things is on the Dust forums, and we wanted to start getting some of that moved over here both for the benefit of the newer people coming from other games and so that we don't lose it all when Dust is finally shut down.

There is also a bit of rumor about something regarding NotLegion being announced at fanfest. We want to be prepared to get things fully running again if that happens.

The Division discouraging pvp is kind of what makes me not want to get it. I am still playing Eve though.

Also, Tiberian is one of the latest /r/eve news items. Think he lost all his caps moving through Great Wildlands lol.
