Think of the camping. Think of the ganking.

This is glorious and it should be made immediately.




I had this exact thought. Seems like a place where gankers will love to hang to get those exclusive kill mails. No 10 year vet will undock in anything besides a frigate lol.

Actually, awesome bittervet scam:

Use Bitterhub to post lowest market price for a good in the region. Post buy order well below sale price. Watch uninformed player buy 'bargain' item, be unable to dock to grab it, and then sell the good back to the player.

New Red Frog service: high-cost 'Bitterhub gear extraction' from a 10yr+ courier alt.

I heard something about this mysterious station that only the 10 yearers could dock in and thought whoopdebloodydoo

Seriously, I couldn't give a Rat's backside about an exclusive station, I've not got 10 years in, admittedly if I were a mmorpg player 10 years ago, I would have signed up for eve as soon as was going,

There's enough elitism in the game at times with the bitter vets poking at the newbies complaining about how they've got it easy with the gazillion sp starting skills and a NPE that gives you all sorts of stuff.

Then there's the newbies complaining about the bitter vets saying waah we can't compete cos they've got all this stuff and we haven't - CCP make it easier for us or we won't stick around.


If an exclusive station is the best they can come up with then it doesn't leave much for the rest of eve. What about something tangible like an exclusive ship that can't be traded or sold, kind of like a capital in high-sec rules.

Or some exclusive clothing items, or a flashing monocle, or a free day pass to go shooting people without a sec-status hit, or anything but a bitter vet's retirement home.

Strange choice if you ask me.

Buy order will be met by some 10year account counter-scammer though surely?

Well - I would prefer getting a Jove char portrait, although I admit 10 years might be a bit too .. early .. for that.

I think it should be tied to SP. If you hit 50% SP of max possible a new skill unlock to you which is called "Jove" - let's say it takes about 3 years to push it to lev 5 and each level unlocks some sculpting options making you more and more Jove - like. I would train it. Once I would get that far.


Right, so you magically transform into a Jove when you reach ten years old? lol

CCP Soundwave mentioned at Fanfest some kind of loyalty reward for 10 year subscribers. It will be some kind of station which only 10yr+ players can dock in. There weren't many more details.

A few questions:

1. Continuous subscription or total subscription (or even based purely on birth-date)? The first seems a bit harsh as there will be lots of people (me included) who have the occasional few-days lapse when the renewal date falls during a holiday or just before payday.

2. Account or character linked?

3. Any unique features relating to this station, or is its only 'exceptional' characteristic its exclusivity?


Anyway I foresee a huge number of us "subscribed bittevets who don't play" spinning our gold pods or admiring our monacles in such an establishment in the near future.


Bitterhub is a great name for it. 5 years to go for me Big smile

Interesting question about char/account. Presumably 10yr old char on 10yr account?

Yeah this really suck for bitter vets. KuroVolt has spoken. Chribba, you'll have to give up your station as KuroVolt wants it to become the bittervet station. :)

Bitterhub will be accessible in Jove space by a secret "bitter vet" only wormhole. Access to the wormhole will be determined by the amount of tears shed on the forums.

So... It'll be open 23/7/365 with the equivalent of a live band, fireworks and searchlights then..?

I've been playing since beta and have had at least one account active for every month except 3 since then. Problem is I don't have one single account that has activity of 10 full years. I have however accumulated a grand total of over 40 years worth of subs with all of my accounts in total. I am positive there are people out there with more.

Will I get anything from that? No...I got my play time. Do I care? No. I prefer not to see my pod at all thank you very much and another station I prefer not to be in isn't going to help me either.

I love this Idea.. a special station. You can only dock if you are 10 year subscriber.. its easy to join..just keep paying.

I want that thing in jita...with an outlook to Jita 4-4 were we can smoke our cigars and lough about those noobs who still shoot eachothers while we pile up money like **** with our wormhole alts.

There should be a NPC Titan called "Bouncer" that alphas everything that is approachnig and not at least ten years old, except its in the fleet with someone who is.

Loyal customers should be rewarded. Plus, it gives people an incentive to work for. Also, that fancy station should be put in a system where only 10 year subs can get into, where they get access to only what we noobs can dream of. Like I said, would be an incentive for some people to achieve.

Your reward is the skillpoints you trained for 10 years.
