Just how did Jita become "the Hub?"

In case any newbies came on the forums and managed to scroll past the kids squabbling:

There are three other trade hubs, Amarr, Dodixie and Rens. They all have some nice attractions to them.

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Jita became what it is today because 1 big producer decided he wanted to use 4-4. Then another guy moved in. And another. Before you knew it Jita was the trading hub.


All the fairy tales in this thread are hilarious, especially this one.

At the time it had vast ore belts, and level 4 - high quality agent missions. The agents and ore have been moved .. I think? ( I don't go to jita much .. .and I certainly don't hang around to sight-see when I do. )

Comparing Amarr, Dodi and Rens to Jita is like comparing STO to EVE.

Chuck Norris was in Jita once. I saw it on the youtubes.

The original trade hubs after Yulai were, Jita 4-4, Oursulaert III, Rens 6 and Amarr Oris.

The main reason these all became trade hubs after yulai was they all had level 1 and 2 agents and the old tutorial directed most newbies there to run missions. But also before trinity, all these systems had level 4 agents in them too. So the combination of newbies being directed to these systems and the lvl 4 agents lead to the trade hub creation.

However oursulaert 3 is dead.

BRING BACK OURS 3! Trade there!

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

Dont think he was trying to compare them, just pointing out that there are other hubs.....and if that second line was a joke you better point it out before some kiddie takes it seriously and cries about it.

Perhaps you're right, and it was 1 person. The memories I have from that many years ago say that it was several, though I am not infallible, so I cede you may be correct.

The fact remains it was chosen by player(s), and not CCP.

The real truth is the reasons behind which it was chosen:

3 Regions very close together.
LOTS of Caldari players at the time.
Many station resources, agents, factories, labs, as well as many asteroid belts -- some of which is gone now.

One might argue that CCP indirectly chose it's location when they laid out the resources, and removed the incentive to base out of Yulai.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback BondGamer. Bear

Ours might be dead, but most of that business moved to dodixie, which is flurishing.

once chuck norris wanted to go shopping, so he created jita

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value
