That's a terrible idea.


Go pod yourself a few times in penance.

Because one of EVE's main sell points is that it is NOT sharded, numbnut.

Might as well turn us into wow in space while you are at it.

Oh wait.....

Would be a bad idea Marcus, one of the big things that apeal to people is that it's a single shard game.

Technically it already is sharded. If it was one giant universe then gates wouldn't exist and you would have to jump drive everywhere in the universe.

Guess what...the high sec miner carebear shard would have NO PVP!!! No suicide ganking, no Mittani...in fact, anyone who has a goonswarm character would not be able to play on the high sec carebear shard from the same IP!!! Just imagine the freedom! You guys there could seriously mine 23.5 hrs/day in COMPLETE SAFETY!!! Am I genius or what?

No, you are not a genius, just a very poor troll. You don't even get 0/10 for that effort.

Chinese shard?

Also, Goons are like parasites, they cannot survive without their host.

You don't understand Eve or what its about.

If you want to play "high sec miner" go play X3 or Pioneer or any number of modern freeware elite clones.

If you want to play "small grow of IRL friends in space" try Blockade runner, Minecraft or Shores Of Hazeron.

I'd go quickly if I were you, I think your about to get lynched for being a troll.

Go away troll. I say troll since this could not possibly be a serious suggestion!

I support the shard idea, simply for the rage and tears it is producing.

What people don't seem to realise is that there actually is a PvP-optional 'shard'. It's called SiSi. Bear

Only reason Serenity exists is due to the chinese censorship laws.

Serenity was NOT a shard, it was an entirely disconnected, independent system. Which from what I've heard is no longer even in operation.

Shard is an ambiguous term. Sometimes it means separate instances on the same server, sometimes it means different servers. I don't expect the majority of the population to know the difference.

And yeah, it looks like Serenity went down a month ago.
