Im sure its been said before but being the noob i am i dont know how to check but... who here would like to play eve... just for the fun of it? without the treat of getting ganked by a bunch of 40 year olds with nothing better to do with their lives? yes i know its what makes eve eve and eve is fun.... but it is slightly annoying and frustrating at times to. i mean think about it.... to play eve offline, solo, only you in the universe (and NPCs of course) just for fun. nothing is tied to the online version in terms of characters or ships or ISK. they could sell it for say, between $20 to $50 (AU). They get even richer (which they so like) and we, get to just mess about without fear of getting ganked! Yes i know it would not be for everyone... but its still a nifty idea dont you think? P.S any 'oh but it wouldn't be eve' comments are just going to get ignored by me because as iv said YES! i know it wouldn't be eve eve! but that is not the point of this discussion!

You know what else they could do?

I beleive I was that in another game that had Open PvP. it was Free to Play and they had Open PvP, and trading, so they came up with an item that they sold through the store.

And it made one invulnerable to any attack for 24 hours. And people used that for the long Trading runs. Everyone was buying them. It kinda affected the Player Killer community in that game "Pirates" but enhanced the PvP in the game, the majority of people were happy and the company was making good money frorm these items too.

As when peopel brought back the goods and made their money they would hop in to their combnat ships and go out and have fun fighting and sinking one another. They had money enough to be able to afford losses in game.

Would you pay for something like that in EVE? Instead of an Offline version I mean. Do you think it is something that could work here?

I mean, immagine it, can you immagine all the High Sec Miners running to Nulsec to mine thos juicy asteroids there?

All the traders and Freghters going back and forth from Nulsec to HighSec, from trading Hubs to the heart of nowhere filling up the stations with goodies?

Whoooweeee! heheh Gold rush!

I am skeptical, but I am curious to know what you think, or others.

I would prefer instead of expanding Highsec to give people same oportunity to establish stronger base from hwere to launch themselves in to PvP fun ina way that is affordable to them. Nullsec could see more action like that, no need of Low sec anymore to act a buffer.

First golden rule is, "Fly what you are willing to lose", well when people have more they are also more willing to risk more, take more risks and are in the lookout for more rewards, and loss is less shocking.

The reverse happens when you constrain people. They want to keep safe the hard earned little that they have, and losing it is a bigger shock.

Look at you, you are seekig to play by yourself offline..it has come to that point...

EVE-Offline without other players would be boring and useless.

Missions are boring,
Mining is boring and useless
Indy is boring, and useless
Trade is boring and useless
Sov is boring and useless
Lowsec is boring and useless
Highsec would be boring and useless.


If you want EVE-Offline

Play No Mans Sky, but don't land at the planets.

Just go hop onto the test server. Sisi will provide you all the online but offline content you can ever need or want.Lol

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

The thought of EvE Offline is comparable to solo sex for me. You don't have to deal with all those pesky asking her out, dating, letting your personalities shine, petting, post-coital chat, making her a coffee in the morning and whatnot.

So cool and comfy is it? Who would realistically want the real deal instead? I don't know why people bother.. in either case.

I actually don't bother with women because of all the hassle they bring.

What did i say about "eve wthout players is boaring" guys.... i also said yes >IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE< and as for this X thing..... i want to play EVE offline, not some rip off game no matter how close it matches eve it is still not eve. AND i actually like mining, it is my faveroite thing to do in eve and only worrying about pirates is a nice relaxing way for me to spend the end of the day.... as opposed to constantly under threat of getting blown up the moment someone exits a jump gate let alone enters the belt... i told you guys its not for everyone.... so please dont clog up the discussion saying its not your idea of fun... if its not your idea of fun YOU KEEP PLAYING NORMAL EVE! we dont need you telling us what a bad idea it is.... eeewww PVP! yuck! who wants to do that! see... pointless isnt it?

Playing on the test server is your best bet.

The game will be reset every few months though.

So you want to be a 40 year old with nothing better to do in your life, just playing alone in your basement in a totally antisocial way, rather than as part of a community.

You're not alone. There is a big group of you. We call you Carebears. Also called MAMINS - Middle Aged Men In Nappies.

I was just thinking about what the test server actually is... is it like an offline place? do you get acsess to all ships because it is reset every few months or when ever? is it just like a big playground while your waiting for skills/deciding weather or not you want to go omega on the actual server?

I just love all these people with nothing better to do with their lives than insult others for their diffrent tastes.... gives me so much hope for humanity! .... and my hope i mean hope they will burn soon.

most eve pilots are super nice, they just use shiny laser beams instead of hugs most of the time. If you just use a little bit of caution and don't make yourself an easy target the game is relatively risk free. All these years I'm surprised no one has come and ganked me just for the lulz of it.

The irony.

If you come here insulting the community, expect to be called out for it.

If you can't hack the game because you don't have the emotional stability, or the mental capacity, or simply because you are antisocial, expect to be called out for it.

You could have easily put your OP with the same message minus the insults of everyone; and not received it back at you. That was your choice. Suck it up butter cup. HTFU and all that. But of course, as a Carebear, HTFU is like a disease.

The only way you are going to do that is pull the models from the game client (which can be done) and make your own offline game.

Can it be done? Sure. You won't be able to sell it or anything. There is math behind everything in the game, all you need are the formulas and you can code it.

Is it worth it?


Hell no. Go code a killer robot or something that makes a difference in the world.

Bring back DEEEEP Space!

I don't know details on everything you ask, as I never had the reason to connect there.

But I know it's online too. You need an Omega account to join. As far as I know, you can spawn yourself a Titan by some commands. And mine with it.
