I see. That makes sense. I personally hope it lasts another couple hundred years. I plan on passing on my virtual corporate empire to my children and their children and so on :-)

I would not argue against that. I kind of want to observe the event I was describing though, so I was picking something in my life time. Lol

Viva la EvE!

Some null players hate hi-sec folk, the vast majority of hi-sec players, (in my experience) could not care less about null-sec even if they tried.

This is not a signature.

Yes this has been mentioned...I apologize for using hate.

I just think an epic Galaxy ending conflict is the way to go...if Eve is going to go...

Chances are that if it happened, New Eden would collapse back in on itself, forming a GREAT black hole, sucking everything into it and on to the other side ...the SOE network.

I'm in it for the money

The sleepers are infomorphs, they essentially live in a computer generated world. In universe, this is called "The Construct". All their structures and drones are connected via this world. There's a fair bit of lore involving them in the EVE novels, and in other parts of the forum.

So that's why they are called the sleepers. Interesting. I always thought they were just sleeping :-)

I need to read more.

I'm kinda pumped for the last day of eve. I'm going to pour every single ISK I have into the most expensive ship I can buy and gank a noobship in Uitra...

Hmm, given that most of us learn Infomorph Psychology and jump between bodies ...

I think a live event where CONCORD was MIA for some reason would be really cool.

Off-topic semi-rant directed at no one: I swear, it's like the different sec areas are life philosophies for some people... I live everywhere, and try to do everything. From carebearing it up in high to hunting a red in null. Why limit yourself to one part of the game?

This, as always, is simply inaccurate PVP zealot propaganda. Lo and 0.0 sec have ALWAYS had better rewards. That the inhabitants of these places have made it so uninhabitable that the risk-to-reward ratio is simply unappealing to anyone other than someone looking for PVP is a problem that those inhabitants themselves need to fix, instead of killing/driving all the prey away to extinction.

You can continue to advocate the nerf of hi sec. All it means that it will take longer to make a profit; unlike lo sec, where the average "carebear" is likely to run in the red.


I totally agree with this, nerfing one's ability to earn isk in highsec isn't going to force anyone into the jungles that low/nullsec players have built for themselves, because the issue isn't about risk vs reward, it's about the fact that the predatory nature of low/nullsec does not appeal to everyone who plays EVE, nerfing highsec won't change that.

Statistically, these are incorrect claims.
Every change in the risk/reward relations between highsec and other sec has resulted in corresponding population distribution changes. Every nerf to nullsec and every buff to highsec has resulted in increased highsec population. The one buff to nullsec (Dominion anomalies) resulted in a large buff to nullsec population. The claim that risk and reward relative to other regions in EVE doesn't affect people's decisions of which sec-status to play in is simply an uninformed one.

Did nerfing the rewards of incursions change people's willingness to run them?
