If someone gives you their house keys, and you use them, is that infiltrating? No. Breaking and entering? Still no.

Not that i give a damn about BoB or GSF, but politics and campaigns at that time were interesting.

OTOH, what happened to SirMolle? RageQuit or got tired?


Ragequit after losing 5 Titans. He plays TOR now.

Would be a riot if goons got there to make his life (and new corp/whatever) hell again :)

The problem with that is TOR is an unironically terrible game. Eve is more fun.

Well Evolution is still quite active (SirMolle's corp). They're currently active in Etherium Reach and bordering regions.

I think they're based out of low-sec POSes.

Yes, a necropost, and you're welcome.

Now this is an interesting response. Why would less people be playing?

Because of all the people that joined up because of the story of the disband? I know I probably wouldn't be playing if it weren't for that.


I think more would be cause perpetuum wouldnt exist

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

Something else would have killed them. Perhaps right now the big bad guys would be the NC or perhaps even the cesspool that was 2010 Venal would have infested a large part of spaceShocked

It would look pretty much the same as does right now.

BoB was never a conquest Alliance. The stayed in Delve and were happy to be there. BoB was destroyed because of epeen envy. The people who took them apart didnt want what they had, they just didnt want them to have it.


BoB was a vision of the future of Eve. Boring, maintaining a status quo. Whatever is happening now, BoB more or less did it first. So essentially, it's like BoB is still around, just without the name.

I have to assume, based on this post, that you have an idea for eve different from how it is now. Care to enlighten the class?

I bet SirMolle is a quadrillionaire. Five Titans was probably pocket change to him.

Didn't you know that BOB was over taken by the GOONs in disguise only to re emerge at a later date to throw people off? simple minded GOONs out maneuvered

Speculation: After the Sov Bill incident Goons would have been attacked, rolled out of nullsec, and fail cascaded.
They would have come back of course because they are like herpes that way....annoying, permanent, and disgusting, but you learn to deal with it.

TEST would probably never have gotten off the ground and failed after a few months of wanting to be like big brother Goonie but not quite making it.

The NC would still be rulling the north.

PL would own space.

There would be 4 sides of New Eden instead of 3. North, East, South, and West.

But since this is all just speculation I could be waaayyyy off base.



You forgot to mention, at least 2 CCP employees might still have a job. The whole BOB controversy was less to do with the exploits they were using, but that CCP employees were actively helping them do it.
