As always when these threads pop up, nope.
However I would support a US server for US and Pacific players. Conn problems have always been an issue for many players in these parts. It would have been far more lucrative than making that server for China. Will they ever? Doubt it, but more likely than to ever just wipe the existing servers. Why would I doubt CCP would ever make another server? Look at the other games they have made or are making, on limited platforms for a limited player-base. If they put one in the US, it would make EVE less limiting, so won't happen no matter the 1 server marketing PR which they really abandoned when making the Chinese server.

wouldn't segregating the game make it even more dead though? isn't that an issue we deal with now?


i feel like if we reset the server people would be more willing to head out of high sec, and the population outside of highsec would be much more healthy until we hit a plateau again in (what, 10 ) years?

Reset everything! Skillpoints, assets, standings, security status, buy/sell orders, everything! Even reset the trial to 14 days!

Equal ground is going to be fun on the bun!

EVE is Dying™ ?
The server is already fractured, it's not really one server and hasn't been that way for years. A lot of US players don't play due to the distance issues, it can be really bad at times. US time zones PCU is low, it all peaks Europe time. Europe would have the same issues trying to connect to a US/Pacific server. Many in the US are well invested in the London server already, so likely PCU there would not take much of a hit, especially during the regular peak times. BTW, how come I'm getting the feeling this thread is padded with agreeing alts hehe

But yeah, some would play the server since it being a fresh server, though the years of investment on the existing server would keep most on the London server. But overall between the two servers, subscriptions would increase. But like I said, doubt they would ever do it. A wipe would never happen though, CCP could loose a lot of accounts.

it certainly would be fair.

But as demonstrated before and sure to be demonstrated after,


No one in this game wants anything to be fair. They only want the advantage for themselves.

Good luck trying to convince an incredibly selfish community to do anything Just.

Another server is a terrible idea. What makes eve is that we are all together.

Whilst we are at it re-roll to the Red Moon Rising patch; CCPs last great update.

That's hype, especially since we are not all together. I've already mentioned this a couple times. Serenity was a terrible idea, at least for the 1 server hype. Increasing subscriptions and making money is always a good idea. But won't happen.

I love hearing Americans complain about lag.
You don't know what lag is until you've played on a crappy, Outback Australian internet link.

Seriously, cry me a river.

NCDot sperging up the forums begging for a reset because they've lost too many capitals to recover? Imma vote no, because even with a reset, NC would still suck and fail badly. Big smile

Am I in the middle of a forum CTA or something? Even the backgrounds of your space barbies are the same.

It will never happen. A huge chunk of the older player base will quit then. I spent a decade building my SP, assets, and what I have. It gets reset I am gone. This isn't the type of game you just "reroll a new toon" and grind it up.

A substantial chunk of players would be done with game if that happened, and I highly doubt CCP has any desire to reset all things. Ive spent years training skills, even when AFK from game to keep it going so when I returned I could do more than when i left.
