This idea is a bad idea.

Bad ideas should not be implemented.

Hence, this idea should not be implemented.


I conclude my statement.

what s the point , alot of people will hate the idea to start all over again and i do not mean skillpoints alone but all their archievements and assets

secondly the largest alliances we have now will just reform within a day blitzkrieg thru nullsec leaving nothing for the others and dominate the whole game from start

I do not agree with what you are saying , but i will defend to the death your right to say it...... Voltaire

And if players understand that this is a problem (if for anything the fun factor, and play anything than walking on eggshells), why isn't it fixed?

Because it's not fun knowing null is high-sec........

I have seen new servers set up in other MMOs and what happens is that rather than the new player start off on a level footing he still gets left behind.

The vets know what to do from the word go and they go off and do just that. They'll be organised and they'll have set up their corps and then get into the Lo Sec and grab space-turf whilst the new player is still bumbling around with learning the ropes.

Then when they realise what they should have done they then come onto the forums and ask for yet another server to be started in which they can become one of the knowledgeable vets there.

In the meantime Eve has taken aboard new players. They are now stumbling around in server 3 but they won't go into servers 1 and 2 because they are already established. Server 2 then dies off because server 3 (and then server 4) takes all the new recruits and there's not enough players to make the server interesting.

Server Five then starts up because of the whines of the new players. Server 1 still limps along but is slowly losing players as there's natural attrition. Servers two and three have more or less died and is full of space tumbleweed as there's no-one left playing. Server four is limping along because all the new players are in server five.

Then there's a call for server six...

And then as more and players come into the game there's fewer in each servr and the overall enthusiasm for the game has gone. Eve will then truly die.

Eve isn't badly balanced; new players can come along unlike other MMOs such as EQ and WoW and take on the veterans after a relatively short while. Not only that, but the new players can arrive into a mature and thriving universe. For

Someone like me that can play for 16+ hours a day easily if I so choose can easily get ahead of most of the competition if starting on a new server.

Yes, but you know what you're doing.

A completely new player can still spend 16 hours a day bumbling around asteroids trying to dig out veldspar and lose all advantage.
