Note: this idea is completely *What If* I realise it would not work for several reasons, just roll with it damnit!

Anyway, what if CCP started hosting a different server
Not a mirror of TQ, an entirely different server with different regions and different systems.

New untouched patches of null sec and empire, and joining this server requires you to make a new account for that server alone [yet does not allow you to use your TQ name]

Then what if CCP let this server develop for say 5 years and then went ahead and introduced gates or wormholes that acted like a gateway between the 2 servers.

Let your imagination run wild and fill in the rest!

Reminds me a little of the mirror universe in Star Trek: DS 9.
So, counter proposal: CCP creates another server, and copies of each of your characters are placed randomly around the universe in random (copies of existing) corporations / alliances with random corp roles and random ISKs and assets.

Man, that would suck....

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

What if EvE Online is actually a recruitment program for an alien defense force that's been decimated by an enemy and they're looking for that one amazing player for one last roll of the dice. Arrow

What if CCP ran a new sever that was all PvE. What changes would be needed to make it work?

It could not be connected to TQ at all so they could not influence each other. The space, ships, modules and so on, could all be the same.

Players would have to be locked out from shooting each other except for mutual wars, duels, and being in the same corp. CONCORD would become irrelevant, you could not do an action that calls them. Other griefing mechanics, like bumping, wreck theft, neutral RR, would have to be modified.

The E side, the environment, would have to have its game stepped way up, to destroy sufficient stuff to drive the economy. POSes in high sec would get attacked by mass rat fleets, random huge spawns with supers in low and null, and so on. You could log in to your Null outpost to find it was now owned by the Blood Raiders and being guarded by a mixed fleet of 50 ships, including Titans.

High sec, low sec and null sec would be defined by how strong the NPC rats are.

Claiming sov in Null would have to be based on how well you use your space. Someone else comes in and does better than you, you lose it.

If CCP started this anyone creating a new pilot could choose which server, but then be stuck there forever.

"EVE: what if mode."

Sure, I'll play...

What if we got actual expansions instead of over glorified patches disguised as expansions?

(Sorry to harp on CCP for this, but "expansion notes" in EVE look highly similar to "patch notes" in other/all MMO's.)
