What would you do to increase the population by 4X?
Would the higher population be beneficial overall for the game?
What changes would you to game?

Just wondering...

Take away warp to 0 and bring back the old 15km off teh gate warp.

To remove the possibility of instas I'd give all bookmarks a 20km margin of error in any direction Big smile

It's a good way to half the population

I'd try to accept that Eve is not for everyone and not sell out the game to try to please newbies.

Turn off the forums, fire the CSM, and give a free pony to anyone who adds an authenticator to their account.

Wait...no, I'm thinking of some other game.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

i would make tech II meta 1-4 gear

introduce new ships to fill missing roles

make a new un-explored region of space that can only be accessed by wh but is regular space but has really hard core pve and add the abiltiy to make star gates that connect the new region but also make the stargates destructable...

make PI like Civ V

Add nebula to current solar system (think rath of kahn) where it might disable certain aspects of a ships sensors or what not...

make high end annoms harder but at the same time co-op and increase thier payouts...

fix drone UI

fix sov to be bottom up

make true sec dynamic

actually open the door.

make a eve movie or tv series on netflix

make an eve light app for ios and andriod so i can change skills and do market stuff when i am not home.

add tech III frigs bs and capital ships...

enhance energy and hybrid ammo like they did to projectile ammo

make fighters have mods on them (like tanks have in dust)

Bullshit logic.

If EVE wants to grow, it needs to cater all populous. It's most likely that the "bitter vets" haven't contributed a single dime to CCP cash flow after 2007 or so because of their massive pre-existing ingame infrastructure.

Money needs to come from somewhere.

Grammar.

Cater no, but at least attempt to convert yes. Neither is being done.

Also when a 07 player buys a plex with isk, it creates a demand for plex, which incentivises people to buy plex for RL $$. Which then CCP makes money. Shocking how the market works.

Double CONCORD response times. Make 0.6 and below low-sec while still ensuring a contiguous high-sec. Remove roughly half of high-sec manufacturing slots and increase their use price by several orders of magnitude. Tie empire tax rates into faction warfare. Remove L4s from high-sec. Increase NPE tutorial payout in goods, not ISK.

That's a start.

CCP has no sense of humour.

First I have them develop a system that allows alliances to build stargates and access/create new systems, extending 0.0 indefinitely.

Then I add a Pirate 'Militia' that wages war against empire and null-sec and allow them to claim sov and drop security level of a system.

Directly followed by Faction Militia allowed to claim sovereignty in 0.0 for empire and raise security level.

Incursion mechanics will be extended to pirate and empire factions and those incursions are used as anchor points for system conquest and security level changes.

Null-sec alliances can always reclaim their space and can also try to get into high-sec with enough effort.

Security level drop will be limited to 0.3 to 0.4 so there will always at least a few high-sec systems, maybe protect certain systems to prevent extinction of factions.


I think we should be able to get there by the 25th anniversary .

It would appear that the bullshit is firmly on your side..

Eve wouldn't be the healthy MMO it is today if it didn't have sufficient appeal to keep CCP afloat for a decade.

Whether or not vets pay isk or cash is completely irrelevant because someone is still buying the PLEX, thus providing real income to CCP.

Real talk though.

-I would make NPC corps FW based,
-Have all High/low be dynamic and able to change factions and sec status
-Allow players to join pirate factions.
-Pirate Factions would be introduced into FW and play a part in point 2.
-Incursions would be done by all the different factions in their respected enemy space.

E: Abrazzar beat me to it Sad

Liquidate the company and retire. None of you deserve Eve.
