Also, given that meta 1 items no longer drop, bpos for larger items like bcs cost hundreds of millions, you could not plex for isk as there would not be enough isk for quiet some time, this seems like a disaster.

Wasn't the earliest market some what seeded by ccp? I know prior to PI many of those items were seeded.

And how long would it take to get even basic t2 items? The moon mining pos would have to be built from scratch with people I.intially mining in rookie ships or reprocessing level 1 missioning loot. And all those nul alliances you think you would get a jump on, who do you think will be able to muster fleets to farm higher level missions first, invest in the higher level/expensive bpos first, etc?

Seems like a choice between a universe facing certain slow death as people get bored and unsub, verse a universe with a slow crappy start that still favors the large alliances and organized groups.

NO!!!!! YOU MUST OF BEEN THE GUY THE KILLED ULTIMMA ONLINE. IF YOU WANT TWO SHARDS GO PLAY FRICKING WOW OR RIFT, SWTOR. CREATING TWO SHARDS FOR EVE WILL UNDOUBT KILL EVE AND PUT CCP OUT OF BUSINESS. TWO SHARDS WILL NOT WORK FOR EVE, AND I KNILOT IN A TOW WHERE THIS IS COMING FROM IF YOU AFRAID OF LOSING SHINY STUFF DON'T AFK AUTO PILOT IN A T1 hauler. WITH 5 to 10 bill in assets and asking why did I get ganked??????????

Why are the rules so narrow? I can always decide to stop paying for my subs so answer "c) neither" is always an option. Gun to my head? Blow my brains out.

If CCP give you the choice of staying on this server (I know it's really a cluster, but bear with me) or going to a new server, which would you pick?

Framework for deciding would be this:

Its a one way ticket for your character. once you go, you're gone.
CCP would equally add content to each server, like purdy gfx.
There would be no connection with DUST on existing server.
No transference of wealth/stuff.
If you want to come back, you can't, and no new subs will be added.
No comms between the two.
All new subs will be on the new server.

Answer (a) stay or (b) go

Please indicate how you've been playing as well.

Thank you.



OP, what you do not understand, is that having a choice of servers undermines the most basic fundamental of EVE online. That we are all one community that are all in the same "world". Each person's actions and decisions affect someone else. Adding a second 'optional' server would destroy the very fabric of this game.

FC, what do?

I hope you're trolling. If not, no offense, you're an idiot.

I think it would be more interesting if eve got enough players that did split into two shards. But it would be more interesting if the two different shards could attack one another thru a WH.

Again you are a complete idiot. I guess there's not cure for stupid. You can already do that when A k162 null hole or low sec open and thus kill stuff, please put back on your tin foil hat.

Thread = irrelevant + no content.

Only way I could ever see it happening is an Americas based server. But even then, doubtful. Prob with shard warfare, the server in Europe has a 9 year head start, so even mooor doubtful. Even China would have no chance against Europe. It would be somne sort of mini-game tournament play, like DUST.

I'm in it for the money

What purpose would be served by the creation of a secondary server? I think this is another of those not so cleverly disguised PvP/PvE arguments.

No, it's a "Old rich high SP players are bad so let's make it so I can be one of the oldest, richest high SP players on the server I play on" whine.
