u miss the entire point of eve go to WOW. 1 server and more then 1 universe is a hypothetical multiverse theory. Plus do u even know how much server power it takes to run eve? itd cost millions to get just 1 more server going

There Is A 90% Chance All Of What You Just Read Is Wrong, Inaccurate Or Just Me Being Controversial In Some Way. Or By Some Chance It's Completely Right In Every Way... At Least To Me :3

Nah. This whole, single shard thing was interesting for a while, but Eve doesn't scale well after a point and everything will eventually turn to blobs as the Eve population grows. Imagine when Eve has 100k subscribers at once. Blob warfare is fun for some, but not for many. Even WH space will fall to the blobs eventually when the player-base gets large enough.

When CCP was looking at 40k subscribers and 15k max online, a single shard was essential given the number of systems. But when Eve grows and passess 600k subscribers and 100k online at a given time then the gameplay will become increasing more predictable and boring, IMHO

Greetings capsuleer,

Were we to find some way to re-open the EVE gate or a similar mechanism that leads us out of New Eden ... well. I can see there would be significant holes opened up in New Eden; vast and empty areas of space and far fewer capsuleers as the enterprising travel to the new universe.

I don't think this will be a good thing, do you?

IMHO at 5k-15k online, Eve plays just fine... actually it plays better if you ask me (although some would disagree)

I like it. On the other server you could have the Horde and Alliance at peace or something and make it pure PVE...getting quests and buddying up to go kill 20 sanshas in nulsec would be more fun without the massive alliances living there!

It'd be especially good for the early adopters who could pretty much own the auction house and scoop up all the crafting.

I'd like also to see some different mounts, some that are exclusive to each server. Like the 'Bright White Goddess Thorax' which could have a cooldown perk for blasters or something.

I was there when there were 5k-15k players online in EvE. It was too empty, it didn't quite work.

That low a number of people on the server would require NPC's to support the system and that is simply a deal breaker.

I would unsub if EVE ever was split into multiple shards.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

My god, you're ignorant. Shocked

You have any idea how EMPTY most systems are currently? The cause of blobbing and overcrowded superhubs are not population numbers and never were, but simply the (increased) ease of travel.

Alliances in null gather blobs consisting of the pilots of multiple regions for a simple op, simply because they can.
Everyone, from all over empire and even null, shops at Jita Wall-Mart simply because they can.

Travel is too fast, too safe and too cheap, so it no longer acts as a counterbalance, forcing people to stay closer at home.

If CCP keep releasing stuff like closed doors and spam clicky inventories I see a future with zero shards, not with more than one.
