Who are we and what are we trying to do?

Rift Watch is a dynamic and ever-evolving gaming community, active both in and out of EVE Online. At our core, we prioritise community building and the joy of shared experiences in gaming, no matter how much or how little time we have to play. In EVE, we like to think we are a friendly, social, high-sec based group with a focus on creating exciting small-gang PvP opportunities, enjoying good fights, and tackling content as a team.
We have good access to both corp-driven and community driven content on a regular schedule and we pride ourselves on teamwork and improvement, welcoming players of all skill levels. With our active and social Discord, we make it super easy to connect, group up, and play your way, all while keeping things laid-back and fun.

Key Features

Friendship First

Good vibes, great people. 

We’re not just about spaceships and ISK, we’re about building a crew of friends you actually want to hang out with. Whether we’re laughing over fails, winning together, or just sharing stories, we’ve got a place for you.
It’s all about community, in-game and out.


Play it your way, with people you like.

NPSI and Beyond

Open fleets, endless content.

We collaborate and play within the NPSI communities to give us access to extra content, adventures, and learning opportunities, all at the drop of a hat.
Whether it’s small-gang with us, bigger brawls, or even PVE and ISK making, there’s always more to explore at a moment's notice.

Small Fleet Specialists

Small gang. Big impact.

At Rift Watch we live for the rush of small-gang action and the epic stories it creates.

Our team thrives on playing in dynamic 5-10 man 'small-gang' fleets where we can explore, practice, and try out new roles together.

Whether you're an eager rookie looking for friends to learn with, or a seasoned vet craving intense, coordinated action, we’ve got your back.

Learn and Grow

Everyone starts somewhere

We’re a group of pilots learning by doing, and that means embracing our mistakes.
There's no elitism, no gatekeeping, just practical learning and teamwork. 

Our mentorship focuses on developing solid skills, while aiming for practical competence, and ensuring everyone feels valued and comfortable on every fleet.

Faction Warfare

Fight for profit. Fight for glory.

Dive headfirst into Faction Warfare and roam the warzones with friends. RWG are  mercenaries for hire, fighting for Gallente, Caldari or wherever the ISK takes us.

No experience? No problem! We’ll help you gear up and jump into the action from day one.
Get your standing above 0.0 with the above factions and the rest, we’ll handle.

Events & Play Times

Play smart to keep it fun. 

Our events are scheduled for EU primetime, and designed to keep it light, engaging, and burnout-free.
 
Join us for our main fleets on Monday and Thursday evenings between 18:00-2230 EVE time
with more spontaneous and laid back fun on other evenings when the mood strikes.

About Us

RWG in General
At its heart, Rift Watch is a small, tight-knit gaming community with one mission: making the most of our precious free time. Outside of EVE, our crew boasts about 20-30 casual, nerdy members who love indulging in a plethora of activities together. Whether it's gaming, anime, movie nights, DnD, or just hanging out. We can usually be found relaxing and socialising most of the time on the group Discord on pretty much any given evening, sharing laughs, stories, and maybe the occasional meme.

Our EVE Community
Our EVE group formed in 2022, and as of now we're a small yet social bunch consisting of around 7-10 daily players plus a handful of occasional participants, as well as our alter egos and NPSI friends. We are a diverse group, with members ranging from their 20s-50s and hailing from all over Europe, South Africa and even a couple of night owl US time zone players.

We group up for our main Corp events a couple of times a week (typically Mon/Thurs), with a more relaxed playstyle for the rest of the week as real life permits. As a team, we enjoy the close-knit family feeling of being a smaller group, and we work to maintain that atmosphere. Generally, I think it's fair to say we see ourselves as more of a group and a team than a traditional Corp. Even outside of the standard game nights, many of the guys would go out of their way to help each other, and are more than happy to jump in for impromptu fleets when needed. If that sounds like you then you should fit right in.


What We Do In-Game
Our focus is on the thrill of PvP and small-gang content in general. We enjoy planning, preparing, and executing small-gang PVP roams, Faction Warfare fleets, and more. Whether it’s strategising our next move, testing out fits, teaching and mentoring each other in new roles, or working together to outwit opponents, we thrive on teamwork and learning as we go.
That’s not to say we don’t mix things up. You’ll still find our guys dabbling in escalations, wormhole explorations, Abyssals or an occasional NPSI fleet for variety. But it’s all done with a relaxed, no-pressure attitude — most of the time while hanging out on Discord, sharing jokes, or blaming Silencer and his love of chicken (seriously, KFC has caused more ship losses than we care to admit).


Who We’re Looking For
We're looking for fresh faced, active, and enthusiastic pilots who have a desire to be a part of the team. Ideally being engaging and proactive enough to help to create some fun and memorable for all to us to share and enjoy. If you genuinely see yourself as active, social, friendly and relaxed, and are seeking a 'smaller' group  to fly with, then we may well be a good fit for you.

Keep in mind that our usual playtimes are EU evenings between 17:00 and 23:00 eve time with Monday and Thursday being our dedicated nights for organised fleets.

Should you be interested in joining us, sling an in-game mail to
Bookmiester or Silencer-UK and we will get back to you within 24 hours.

So What's The Plan?

...we have a plan right?

Looking Ahead: Future Plans

At Rift Watch, we’re always looking to grow and improve, but without losing the close-knit, friendly vibe that makes us who we are. As our community expands, so do our ambitions. We want to keep things fresh, fun, and engaging for everyone while building on the strong foundation we already have.
 

Here’s a glimpse into some of the plans we’re working on:
 

  • More Spontaneous Fleets
    We’re aiming to ramp up impromptu fleets and small-group activities on non-corp nights, giving everyone more chances to undock and join in the action.
     

  • Additional Corp Nights
    As our playerbase grows, we’d love to introduce another regular Corp night to give our guys a few more options to get involved — without overloading anyone.
     

  • Role Training
    As we build on our collective knowledge, we’re looking to offer training and 'Bootcamp' sessions to help members learn different roles and grow more confident in PvP.
     

  • Fleet Leadership Opportunities
    We’re carving out space for senior pilots to lead small groups and develop their fleet leadership skills in a supportive environment before diving into larger-scale operations.
     

Our goal is simple: create a community where spontaneous adventures, teamwork, and plenty of laughs are always just a few clicks away. Whether you’re a seasoned pilot or a new recruit, Rift Watch can be your EVE home—a place where friendships are made, and stories are written in the stars.

The TL;DR

Boomkiester Bust.png

•  Beginner-Friendly, Always Ready to Help

New to EVE? Feeling a bit overwhelmed? That’s where we shine. Rift Watch is here to help mentor and guide you while giving you the freedom to explore and find your own way. We believe in learning through experience, offering advice and support when you need it, and shaping you into a strong and confident member of the team.
 

•  A Social and Supportive Crew

We succeed together, we laugh together, and yes, sometimes we explode together. Rift Watch is built on camaraderie and the belief that games like EVE are better when played with friends. Our Discord is always buzzing, both in and out of game, making it the heart of our community. We’re looking for social players who value teamwork and want to join in on the banter as much as the fleets.
 

•  Excited Explorers with Room to Grow

We’re not a Corp that’s “been there, done that.” Rift Watch is still growing and still discovering new things. Think of us as a fresh start — a group with the excitement and energy of EVE’s early days. Veterans are here to help, but our journey is far from over, and there’s plenty of room for you to join the adventure.
 

•  Create Something Bigger Together

We’re more than just a group of pilots — we’re building a legacy. Rift Watch is a place where every member has the chance to contribute to the groups future, whether that’s planning fleets, mentoring new players, or simply showing up and making the most of every moment. This is your chance to be part of something new and exciting, where your efforts will shape the stories we tell for years to come.
 

•  Focused on PvP and Team Content

From Faction Warfare to small-gang PvP and NPSI fleets, our focus is on teamwork, strategy, and having a blast together. We’re working toward expanding our spontaneous fleets and offering more opportunities for players to grow in the art of space combat. Whether you’re an experienced PvPer or eager to dive into your first fights, there’s a place for you here.

FAQ

Q: Why do you only play twice a week?

We actually play more often, but as a group, we decided to set aside two dedicated evenings a week (Monday and Thursday) to give everyone something scheduled and consistent to look forward to.
It’s also a pretty handy excuse: “..But it’s Thursday, that's Eve night, darling, the team is counting on me!..”
Having set evenings helps us avoid burnout while keeping the schedule manageable and fun for everyone. That said, you’ll still find many of us logging in sporadically throughout the week, especially in the evenings.

 

Weekends tend to be quieter since people are off touching grass, spending time with family, or otherwise handling real-life commitments. But for the hardcore pilots in our group, there’s often extra action to be found in NPSI community fleets and other spontaneous content outside our usual Corp nights.

In short, the twice-a-week schedule is just the foundation and there’s plenty of room for more adventures whenever the mood strikes!

Q: What are the short and long term goals for the corp?

In the short term, we’re focused on opening the doors to a few more like-minded pilots. We’re excited to welcome some fresh faces who share our enthusiasm for playing the game together, whether that’s through late-night fleets, chatting on Discord, or just being a part of something bigger.
 

For the long term, we’re setting our sights on growing our player base to unlock more opportunities for small-gang PvP, Faction Warfare, and other group content. We know that fleets are where we have the most fun, and our goal is to keep building on that while maintaining the social, supportive vibe that makes Rift Watch what it is.

Our goals can also come from anyone in the group. Whether it’s learning a new skill, trying a different playstyle, or tackling a big project, we’ve always rallied around each other to make it happen.

Q: Do I need to join the Discord?

Absolutely, yes. Discord is where the magic happens. Not only does it make our fleets run smoother, but it’s also the heart of our community — a place to hang out, share laughs, and get the full RWG experience.
 

You don’t need to be chatting 24/7 or hopping on voice immediately. If you’re a bit shy or just want to lurk until you’re comfortable, that’s perfectly fine. But once you’ve spent some time with us, we’re confident you’ll feel right at home. We’re easygoing, friendly, and always ready to welcome new faces into the mix.
 

In the past, we’ve had players who joined the corp but didn’t engage on Discord or attend fleet nights. Unfortunately, they struggled to find their place and stay active, which is something we want to avoid going forward. The truth is, being part of RWG is about being part of the team and that means on comms, in fleets, and just hanging out.
 

So, put on your big-boy or big-girl pants and dive in. Our door is open, the bar is stocked, and the vibe is always chill. You’ll see for yourself—after just one evening on Discord, you’ll feel like one of us. Bonus: we’ve got a strict no-toxicity policy, so you can expect a fun, supportive environment from day one.

Q: Why are you recruiting so few?

It’s all about quality over quantity. Right now, we’re a tight-knit team, and we want to preserve that sense of camaraderie. Bringing in too many new players at once could upset the balance, making it harder for both us and new recruits to settle in and feel at home. That’s why we’re taking things slow, focusing on building genuine connections with every new member who joins.
 

In the long term, as our community grows and we find our rhythm with mentoring and managing day-to-day operations, we might open the doors a little wider. But for now, we’re looking for players who want to join Rift Watch for what we are—our vibe, our teamwork, and the adventures we share together.
 

If that sounds like your kind of space family, we’d love to meet you!

Q: What are you looking for in players you recruit?

We’re on the lookout for social players with a hunger for blood who thrive in a group setting. EVE isn’t a solo game, and it can feel cold and lonely without a crew to back you up. Ideal pilots are those who are active, engaging, friendly and, happy to be on Discord.
 

We embrace imperfection. Mistakes are part of the game, and honestly, we make plenty ourselves.
What matters to us is a positive, “let’s give it a shot” attitude and a willingness to learn and grow. Whether it’s trying out new strategies, diving into a challenging fleet, or simply exploring what EVE has to offer, we value enthusiasm and curiosity.

That said, there’s something special about players who are ready to roll up their sleeves and contribute. We’re always happy to mentor and assist, but we really appreciate those who can take initiative and lead by example. Whether it’s organising activities, teaching others, or just stepping up when the team needs it, proactive members help us all move forward.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to have you aboard!
