No.

The reason is the last contact anyone in New Eden had with earth was 16000 years ago. It is also the biggest mystery in the EVE lore. I would hate to see it be revealed. Maybe some information on what Earth was like BEFORE expanding into New Eden, but Earth 16,000 years after that im not to sure about.

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

If the wormhole would open again and let us in, the following options will happen:

A. Earth and the entire Milky Way galaxy is deserted after all the resources have been depleted, resulting into the extinction of humanity or recolonizing to another galaxy with the technology they accumulated in 16,000 years.
B. Earth and the entire Milky Way galaxy is at war, using weaponry and technology even an armada of Titans could not match. Entering Earth would mean very swift destruction.
C. Earth and whatever is left off the galaxy come back to New Eden to reclaim it, which would result to our very swift destruction.

In my opinion, I don't want any of these happening.

Sorry, but I have to agree with the above posts. I'm sure any ideas you are considering would be fun gameplay wise. However lore wise, I love the mystery behind Earth.

Agreed, I really want to know what happened to Earth but I simaltaneously don't want to be told. Knowing the Devs have an answer they keep to themselves is honestly good enough for me.

A is the most likely of the above, for B, that superweapon the Ammarians used to take down an entire Minmatar task force in the Empyrean Age Trailer was a token gun from a Terran Freighter, their version of a Badger M2 weapon could oneshot a Titan and its accompanying Armada. C would be the likely scenario if the game is shut down, an entire expansion where the Terrans take back the cluster burning the Capsuleers away and liberating the people from our tyrannical reighn.

Also option D, as I understand wormholes can displace in both space and time, theoretically we could be in a Battlestar Galactica scenario where we think we are in the future, but are in the distant past instead. Be pretty sweet if say the 3rd world in Jita was an infant Earth.... which would make Jita 4 Mars... you get the idea.

How come Twilight vampires became the only kind of vampires some people can think about? Did they brainwash themselves by watching the Twilight movies too many times?

Or maybe people don't like vampires because werewolves are better and thus use the most unflattering examples of them they can think of. Not saying that emo vampires who weren't given enough attention by their parents when they were growing up are much better but meh I digress.

For all intents and purposes, Earth is a myth. According to the backstory, the races of New Eden aren't even sure if they really have a common ancestor, much less actually know they're from the same point of origin.

How would Earth look? Who knows, Jove are the most advanced existing civilization of New Eden and they practically wiped themselves out because they played gods with their own genetic makeup. There were other advanced races about even in New Eden and in particular in the wormhole space, yet they also vanished / were wiped out. Or Milky Way could have gone the way of New Eden, splitting into factions, warring against eachother, while technologically progressing leaps and bounds beyond current technology levels. Or... you get the point.

Besides, it doesn't matter. I'd much rather learn about Tekhmal, Talocans, Jove or the ancient history of the existing factions. Who knows what else New Eden may be hiding?

sry but WRONG try again the history of the eve gate and the source of the 5 major races is well known and documented also the fact that via genetics its would be quickly known that they all share a common ancestry ffs we as humans in the rl have already found this out about our current race with our current tech

Also artifacts in open space remain for much, much longer than on planets.

Earth and the humans on the other side of the EVE Gate are either extremely advanced or completely extinct. Both extremes would just not feel right for the setting of this game.

Watch_ Fred Fred Frederation_ and stop [u]cryptozoologist[/u]! Fight against the brutal genocide of fictional creatures across New Eden! Is that a metaphor? Probably not, but the fru-fru- people will sure love it!
