EVE General Discussion

Hello mate.


I like this. I was playing diablo2 at battle.net for a long time and there was esxactly this mechanic and server was resetted every year.

However, there will always be players who like what they have and will quit if you take it away from them. While its true a fresh start would give many players a new motivation to return to eve or just to play further, it could also drive the other half player away as they will not be interested and willing to start over.

I feel like this has no chance of being ever implemented, but there is no reason not to discuss it so to make this suggestion viable, EVE online would have to borrow a second mechanics from diablo and thats a ladder and non-ladder. In diablo, characters a nd your assests were actually not deleted at the end of the season, but instead moved into so called non-ladder. You could still play those characters but there were limits. Only ladder characters could find/do many items and special activities which added motivations to start a ladder character each season as the items that could be found only in ladder were extremely valuable on non-ladder. A little problem might be that in diablo ladder and nonladder characters were separated from each other. I believe that its not possible to keep them in single server and there is a question then how many players would be interested in playing the second server... still something to think about.

That is all fine and good if you want to do that. I don't want too. So stop forcing, from the top down, something I don't want on me. And by the top down I mean by CCP doing something for your benefit and not mine. And please do not confuse this with CCP's periodic attempts to fix things, balance things, etc. And I do not mind you, as a player, trying to force something on me. At least there I have a chance and some options. But with CCP there is no chance, no options.

Oh, and all those experiences....my guess is you won't get them again, IMO. You have already done them. Brand new characters starting from zero won't bring that back because you are still the same person. You want that feeling again, go and do something you have not yet done in game. Try taking a character with starting ISK to a billion ISK via station trading. Try solo hunting in NS with a cloaked ship. Build your first super (either for you or for sale). Etc.

I don't think you actually read the thread. How is it that you think this thread is about "tears over the New Order"?

What is up with CODE?

Is it a charade or have they truly drank too much Kool-Aid?

They seem almost as convinced as those Apple guys.

You can't extract skills from alpha set so there is no way to farm SP with alpha character.

One could use them to set up a SP farm I suppose (train them as far as you can while F2P then use PLEX to make them Omega and then keep going), but competition in the injector market has made it so you might earn some profits, but not alot. And to make alot who'd want to sit there siphoning out SP from 50 characters...it would start to become a real job...in which case get a real job and just pay your sub on a yearly basis, have more free time, and log in for fun not work.

The point is you'd train them up to the point where you just get to that point, and do it for "free". Then you'd change them over to Omegas. Of course it isn't really "free" in that there is an opportunity cost involved as well.

My little 0.2 cents which everyone will disagree, one person said it right, running out of adventures, what low sec, null and WH dwellers don't get is that more PVE'ers would love to take on bigger chances but on their terms, that being PVE.


It is impossible, the moment someone ventures out into those areas they are hunted down with such enthusiasm that their adventures get cut short by blood thirsty players, now I understand that those are PVP areas, I get it, but newer players won't, they will just know that they will just get beat by the more experienced and this is eve, however there are newer games of the space genre out and coming out and many of them support PVE and allow the user to have some control over how they wish to play the game, eve hardcore players can't seem to wrap this around their heads, it's a new age of gaming, like it or not PVE must be allowed to be otherwise it just moves people to other games that will cater to the PVE experience.


This is not to say PVP is bad but when you have such a high restriction on freedom of movement by non-PVP players this doesn't do anything but make people move on, the hatered of non-PVP players has got to cool down, every since I've been in eve hatered of miners has been the biggest thing forever, then high sec dwellers, no reason other then "they are ruining the game" when in fact this game has chugged along with those players and destroying their game play is destroying your own as people move off to earn their internet credits elsewhere.


If you PVP players want to truly save this game then frankly you need to lay off the hatred, I don't get how some of you have such hostile feelings for someone minding their own business chewing a rock, or hi-secing it up, so what, if they are paying good for me because the lights will stay on at CCP, yes we need adventures, we need puzzles, we need storylines, without them this game stagnates because there is no adventures only death waiting for anybody venturing out into the lower realms by the hands of expert players with omni powers, anyway I'm out

I feel I have to reflect on that, as I sense a dark misconception. I, as a player am glad that you play the same awesme game I play. Nothing you can do ingame will change that.

But when you mine, you generate money and other resources. And the money and resources you generate devaules whatever me and my allies can make, as we are all competing on the same market. Also while I love to think that miners only ever mine to have better mining equipment to mine even more with, we always have to suspect that you have a PvPer deep down inside you, and whatever you earn will be eventually transformed into war supplies that aid my enemies. You are not my enemy you say? Well, the fact that you are not in the same Coalition as I am says otherwise.

So yeah, I hate miners. But I love you for playing here. Hope you'll endure the hardships you'll face, and that you will gather enough experience to generate content (other than being a juicy target while printing ISK).

Sure we get it, and we have a solution: recruitment. Become one of the locals, who invest a lot of effort into making -their- home safe for -their- people. But if you don't, don't blame them for securing their space and their resources, even if it involves hunting you down if you trespass and steal.

Over 40k players logged in on Saturday and Sunday again, I am sure CCP does not mind this kind of "fail".
