If it rolled eve back to '08 and let me be a nano hero again in my ishtar that'd be pretty hot. But then again without anyone to kill what'd be the point?

Add a single player story line - Why not? Would you play it?



nope


eve is eve because we all play in the same box, with the same sand, and sometimes the same cat-turds...

Who the hell would want to do that? You would have to like, build everything you want, no Jita or Amarr to go be lazy at and buy it.

And there would be nobody else to shoot, were is the fun in that?

Go play X3

But, you can definitely put a positive spin on this thread:

You have 5 no's, that means of EVE's player base of 450,000 accounts, 399,995 are yes! or at least positively considering your idea.


Sorry, Merouk. You might want to check your math.

450,000 people? I think you of all people should know that subscriptions <> people.


I doubt there are even 50k individuals involved in this game...probably less.....Oops

Does this single player version of eve include a key for the door?

I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.

Does this include pretending I am a Merlin and making "pew pew" sounds with my arms straight out and "flying" around my living room?

Yes of course it would.

Perhaps a better question would be - would you play a single player game set in the Eve Universe.

As for hosting a private instance of Eve, no fear of that My HD isnt big enough.

Its time to stand up against the bad empire based CEO telling falsehoods about what new characters can accomplish and pushing them towards an in game experience of drudgery and loneliness keeping them in the shadow of ignorance for at nest their own profit at worse apathy towards all the experiences that Eve has to offer.

Now that's a much better question.

What sort of game though - action shooter, murder mystery, city manager, hydroponics farmer, ... ?

When ccp gives you the key you'll find it doesnt fit in the lock.

You have a valid point on accounts not equaling the number of players (although there seems to be a push at CCP to get accurate metrics on actual individual players), however I sincerely doubt that the average number of accounts per player is 9 or 10. Smile

Do not think they have much to fear from any hypotheticall Eve Online private server. After all, Eve's main draw is the massive amounts of players on one shard.



Almost all private servers I have seen - legal or otherwise - are ghost towns and a huge waste of time. What would be the point when the game's main draw is taken away?

Actually...
Yes, I would... and I know some of my friends would too...
BUT
(yes, there's a but)

Probably only for testing out different things and ideas.

Don't mistake fact for arrogance, supposition for fact, or disagreement for dismissal. Perception is unique in that it can be shared or singular. Run with the pack if you wish, but think for yourself. A sandwich can be a great motivator.

To do what? For what purpose? Wouldn't it be a whole lot easier to just get a fancy screen saver?

agreed, besides, who would buy their ORE?, what good would it be to have it all and have it all be useless?
