EVE General Discussion

So mining only?

Guess I have to do another one of these:

I have consulted my local EVE doctor, and I am afraid to let you know that you are down with bitter new player syndrome, or better known as "I play EVE for a while now, but still suck at it, so I blame it on stupid reasons" syndrome. Symptoms include calling this game pay to win, mining ice with a 7 year old character, or dying in a **** fit cruiser to a zealot and whining about how unfair EVE is.

Just a few points:

1- Old player characters can do more things, but it isn't necessary that they can do a particular thing better than you. If you pick a specific thing you want to do, you can become as efficient at it as the old player in a relatively short amount of time. You messing up your plan or skilling into mining ships is your fault and your problem (took an assumption here).

2- Getting iskies in EVE is as easy for you as it is for the old player. You can trade, you can mission, you can do incrusions, you can rat, you can mine and many more other things as efficiently as any old player, if you have the skills (not to be confused with character skills in EVE) and knowledge to do so. (Some of them require a minimal amount of skills, HAI mining). For instance with a 10m sp logi character , you can make 150m isk/h in incursions.

3- Because of the in game currency and the lovely character bazaar, you can actually buy high skilled characters, if you are proficient at making ISK in the game (which as said doesn't require a massive amount of skillpoints if you know what you are doing).

4- And faction ships aren't bad and they are not imbalanced, some of the people that are actually good at this game (be it pvp or making iskies) need something more than ****** drakes to fly, after all they earned it, they deserve it. They add a small advantage for a huge increase in cost, which is fair.

And I don't know if you made the argument about restarting the server just as a spark to discuss things, or as something you really want. Either way it sux.

No.... PLEX-For-SP is the worst. Having a second server that starts all over again from Day 1, would be kind of awesome, and let "ancient ones" like me and the constant-subbed '03 players relive the "glory days", and give noobs a taste of what it was like back then. Plus it would be the best way to introduce Jove as a player race.

bend over

I don't really like the idea, but, it did get me thinking.

We could get a new eve gate, one that is permanent and leads to a new universe ( much like or even same as the old eve gate that lead humans from earth to new Eden ).

It could be a universe that is entirely separate from our current universe, yet you can get in and out of it any time you want.

Why would i think this is a good idea?
Well, it will allow for more systems to be added to eve, without expanding the existing map, you basically just add a second map.
New sov to grab ( while at the same time, it is extremely hard to maintain sov in both universes ), new trade-hubs to form, new enemies to shoot, new mission to fulfill etc etc etc.

I know many people would like the idea of exploring new space in the way the Earthlings did, back when New Eden was just discovered.


The gate would of course be positioned in the center of both universes.
And on the other side ( the New Haven side ) it only has about 20 high-sec systems, controlled by a group of npc corporations that do not affiliate with any of the 4 current factions, yet maintain a good relationship with them all.

It will have no low-sec at all, but rather LOT'S and LOT'S of null sec to claim.

Maybe we could even introduce new minerals and PI materials/moon materials, that are only found there, while at the same time NOT having some of the minerals and materials found in New Eden, this would cause the 2 to become dependent on each-other over time, as more and more modules and ships start requiring materials from both universes.

Cross Realm Zone to Get New Players Excited Equals...

My WoW realm isn't the best in the world in raiding and PvP, but it's home. Remove home, there's little purpose in playing. It's why server merging is so painful, just like what CRZ did in destroying realm communities.

THINK about the consequences first, as the outcomes aren't fun.

I would personally not see the point of moving there.

Alliances like Test and Goons and Razor (etc) would weigh the pro/cons of such a system, then either totally ignore the new server, or move there on mass.

Both those options are bad.

If the "new server" did not start a "custom" environment, it would be like someone deleting my multiplayer Minecraft world I had been running for ten years and saying "hey, it will be fun to start again".

Pretty sure no judge would hold me guilty over stabbing that guy to death with a spork.

I would think to do that it would take a lot of equipment and who would use it.


Bad idea and not a very cost effective one. Would be better off with WoD than that, not that I think WoD is a good idea either.






One other thing your op can give the impression that you mean restart the present servers instead of new servers which the title suggests.

Yeah uhm Serenity
