EVE General Discussion

As someone with almost 40 years total subscription across your accounts, you shouldn't be surprised.

CCP has a reputation in the community of over committing and under delivering; offset by a tendency in the community to latch onto any statement as a fact rather than accepting that they can also just be aspirational and not really in planning when they are made.

Quoting this post for context.

Back when it was made, development were looking into how to do this, and the time it would take vs the overall level of engagement that would come out of it.

It's been decided by our Development team that a Station is not the best use of resources.

That said, there'll be more information regarding this at the EVE & DUST Community Panel at Fanfest, as well as some time where we'll be discussing the idea of rewarding our long standing veterans, and taking suggestions on what people would like to see instead.

We'd like to hear you guys out, gather feedback, and see what the Community wants as a 10 year celebration of EVE in game.

So, come along to the EVE & DUST Community Panel at Fanfest 2014, and lets sit down and have a talk about what the best solution would be for rewarding our 10 year veterans.

i'm thinking maybe i should have sold off at least one of those 2003 toons

What he means is that having a station for 10yo vets only is not feasible but likely because stations management for access- code is so ancient that trying to tie docking rights to accounts age would be next to impossible without writing an entire new code or creating special "faction" with access rights for vets only (and you would still have to verify account age by hand).

So you're better off gathering 10 yo vets and taking that station by your self.

Yes but the part of "account age" is not something that can be done even if the rest is possible, mainly because restriction by "faction status" already exists in the code base.
So they would have to pick personally each person that has a 10 year old account from the DB and then keep checking all the time if someone has reached the 10 year limit and pick them to this special faction.
