EVE General Discussion

EVE is one of the few games out there where not everyone gets a pat on the butt and a trophy just for logging in.

The answer is yes, there are now more new order douches than previously, so yes, this is more common. The worst possible thing you can do is pay them, since that encourages them to d it more. In realism paying them only usually stops the one person doing it for now, and they will soon be back to tell you some other made up rule you've broken which invalidates your payment. I've seen it happen time and time again.

The best thing you can do is simply move to a new system (more than a few jumps away). If they follow you, petition it, since they are not allowed to follow you around bumping you forever. Also, there are unwritten limits. If they are completely preventing you from being able to do anything leaving you with only the option of not playing, it's been going on for more than a couple of hours, and they have no ability to kill you or gain anything from it, CCP will usually ask them to cease if you raise a ticket.

Essentially what it boils down to is while CCP are not going to step in every time anyone gets bumped as it's a valid method of gameplay, if gets to the point of stupid and starts risking them losing subs, they'll usually take action.

Remember though, regardless of what the forum trolls tell you, if you feel harassed, and feel that it's gone on too long, you do have the right to raise a ticket about it. It may not get anything done if CCP feel it's within their limits, but you are free to report what you feel is harassment. At the end of the day, this is a game and we're all here for entertainment. Silently putting up with not having any fun at all because some troll on the forum told you you are a carebear won't do anything.

Anyway, here's the big super secret behind The Code. People who follow it are effectively ungankable. The whole "Pay attention, don't be AFK, tank your mining ship...." bit, advice handed out pretty freely, that's following The Code.

It's called a peak. 5 Years ago the new order were nothing, a tiny group of people. Since then, they have built up to a peak, and since peaking (and since the barge changes) have been decreasing in numbers as their efforts are less effective.

And a heck of a lot more satisfying than actually paying these retards.

The only griefers I know sit in starter corps and tell you to play isolated. To mine or run missions.

I just started playing again after a 5 year break,,, I finally got myself up to a hulk to mine, and I only mine in .9 for now until I can train drones up enough to get some hobs for protection.


Anyways, I encountered this for the first time today....... some doorknob evidently finds great delight in ramming mining ships to keep knocking you out of mining distance...... this guy followed me around for an hour doing this and demandng a 10,000,000 ransom to stop.... you can't attack them in .9


Is this normal now?

Five years ago, the New Order didn't exist. You may be confusing it with Hulkageddon, which while similar, was run by different people with different goals. Since I've been around, the New Order channel has pretty steadily grown from an average of ~20 people online, to ~45-50. You do realise, we're not exactly organized like ~elite pvp alliances~ with CTAs and all that jazz, right? James doesn't come down from on-high and declare "We must focus our efforts in X system!"

You seem pretty intent on degrading members of New Order as "morons" and other such fun terms. Not having some RL/Game disconnect issues, are you? I mean, all it takes for me to stop being a "New Order Agent" is logging in a different account.
