Out in New Eden there is the wormhole from which all eve came from. A group of us are working on getting further to the wormhole than any other has, which is determined by the hundreds of containers in system marking everyone's visit to the system. At this time, we have gotten past any other can in system, except 1. A can labeled "nothing is outside the realm of possiblilty" still exists about 128,896,594 km from the star in system. It may be game placed or somebody at some time could get that far, but this is the furthest object in system toward the wormhole.
My task to all of eve is to try and reach this container since it seems to be the only object that can bring us closer to the wormhole.
We have been leaving bookmarks at the gate into New Eden with hopes that as a collective effort we can reach it. Unless someone can find a way to warp to it.
Please take a visit to the system and see for yourself.
Note: As long as everyone is contributing bookmarks to the container in system, it will stay updated, otherwise it will be taken. |

Edited by: Shattered Wolf on 03/08/2006 13:13:37 If you can get a ship to maintain it's Cap while using an MWD (Not that hard to do, actually) and can maintain at least 2km/sec, you can get to that can in a little over 17 hours.
That's not that bad. Just point your ship that way, kick in the MWD, and leave the game run. With that much speed, no one's really going to be able to catch up with you to, say, shoot you or anything... and it's not like there's that many people in that system anyways.
Right now though I don't have an alt or anything to get out there... my secondary character on my account can, but there's no way I can prove I was out there (I can't drop anchor cans :( )
But seriously, if I can get out there, I would leave my game on and fly all the way out there :D
....Do you think there is anything out there, anyways?

Since this can is so far out and there seems to be no owner information. I suspect it may be game placed. That brings up a big question as to what could be important enough to mark with a container. Who knows. There are lots of rumors, some that the wormhole is just painted into the background. If that not the case, my theory is that the wormhole is so many au's away that it would take quite a long time to reach. The only thing we can do is go explore and see what we can see.
At this moment I can reach 3450m/s sustained. At that speed it would take me 10 hours constant. |

My maths may be off, but would take a lot more than 17 hours. I was able to get an Ares to sustain a speed of about 5000 m/s (5km/s) using an MWD on test server.
Using that as a basis, it would take 25779318.8 seconds (obtained by dividing 128,896,594 by 5) to reach the can. Which works out at approx. 298 days.

Hey what system is it in!? Holy crap ive been looking for that worm-hole forever! Theres about 10 systems in the region that have names that seem like where the gate is. And theres no orbiting objects on show info so I cant tell.

Originally by: Jaidar RobixSkewed further to the wormhole than any other has
Since not that familiar with the legendary system: Is the wormhole a real reachable object, or just part of the static background?
That is, do you yearn just to go furthest away, or actually reach the wormhole?
If it is just part of the background (like I faintly recall), there wouldn't much point chasing such elusive rainbow.
If it is real object of any kind, it can be located in reasonable time (hours) with help of the deviation properties of scan probes.
So while there, care to share a bit more about the properties of the system?

I've spent many an hour trying to reach that wormhole... to no avail. It would be pretty sweet to reach it though. I have a suggestion for this collective effort... if someone makes it to the last can, leave a bunch of bookmarks at the 15km warp from the jump gate to the sun (at the sun) in a can called "CLOSEST CAN month/day/year" so pilots entering can take 1 and move closer still. That would be the most logical way to do this collectively. In fact, maybe you could password protect the can so people not in the collective effort don't nab all the bookmarks in one trip. You could post the passwords to your cans in this forum. What do you guys think? ------------------------------------

Granted, but if we are all active in this thing we can only be set back so much. Nobody is such a douche that they are just going to spend their time stealing bookmarks for this effort. Those of us who actually participate will still have the last known good container in our bookmarks folders too, so if someone did take them all it would only set us back until the next person picked up where they left off. Said douche would also eventually get caught or brag about it and be labled KOS too...
Let me ammend the suggested naming convention for cans, too. This just occured to me: "GATE BOOKMARKS month/day/year (distance from sun in AU)" ------------------------------------

As part of my time in STI, we made an expedition to the wormhole.
Yes you can get there.
Eve Gate
What we did to get past the spacial distortion was to fly there in parallel tracks in 3 Merlins as a Gang.
You will find that space is curved and eventually you hit the edge of space. Along the way there are many sensor barriers which prevent warping ahead. Also, you may find you warp to places you don't expect.
Anyhow - we flew for 6 hours in all and did not take a secure can with us to prove it. I took this picture for myself. The word is Trust.
What I learned was invaluable. I learned to not fear low security. I learned that I was important. I learned to trust in Eve. I decided to make my own corporation after that and began my plans. Is the image merely projected by God? Some would say yes and be correct. But that proves God is there if you think about it...
In Eve there are so many who turn away and embrace Lawlessness and Piracy instead of Peace and Love which Eve holds out to each of us. It is a daily struggle.
When you are flying, keep track of your distance from the Sun. That is the key - knowing where you are and where you have been. The destination you will find is the Journey. In that Journey - you will find Eve.

....* What are you talking about? The word is "Piracy" In any event, I won't believe there are rogue drones, NPCs, an actual Gate, or anything until I see a screenshot or something. The reality of the universe we live in is that it is cold, harsh, and full of highly energized radiation. Scams and empty claims are as common as the endless stars themselves. There is a name for those who proclaim faith in the face of bleak reality: Amarrans.
Show me the money. He/She who posts a screenshot of the gate will claim the prize. ------------------------------------

I considered posting a prize for the event, although I have not the funds to. I like the idea of placing a cans out there with passwords, I would rather not populate the gate any more with bookmarks, so I can place a can with a gathering point as a bookmark for us to leave our bookmarks at. It seems if I leave a can out there someone always takes bookmarks without leaving any new ones. I understand not everyone can't bring cans out to leave, and that is its own problem since unless you own a can you can't place into it.
For those of you who can bring cans out, please bring a small secure of some type. Make sure you can anchor it so it can't be stolen. Set the password to 3v3G4t3. Make sure you keep the case the same. Name the can as EVE GATE XX/XX/XX
Note on bookmarks. Please label using the distance from the sun you are when you made it. "XXX,XXXkm from sun" For those who don't know how to copy bookmarks. Open your people and place, shift-drag you bookmark to your cargo hold, then move it to your secure can. If you are taking a bookmark from a can to use, take it to your cargo hold and then move it into a people and places folder. Once its in your people and places please use the method above to copy it back.
Thanks all. |

I realize you are doing this now, but by putting the community can closer to the starting point, people can spend the time they were using to get to your can moving closer to the eve gate instead. There may or may not be a gate when we finally get to where we're going, but given the depth of this game, I would be supprised if there was NOTHING in the EVE system. At the very least I'm sure there's a rare NPC, Agent, or destroyable facility there. In any event, I think this project is worth the effort...
Also see this thread. Rumors of a rogue drone hive along the way... very interesting if true. Can someone post a screen shot of it, or throw a BS flag on the play?
Sounds like the best way of doing it, though if the legends are true then any who venture too close towards the wormhole have their ship inplode upon them

The stage is set. Enter the system New Eden and find the can about 100km from the Promise Land gate that starts with " )r". It's set at a warpable distance. Passord is 3v3G4t3 of course. Inside will be bookmarks to the gathering point where we will leave the collection of cans with bookmarks. This point is beyond any point that can be reached easily except by participants in this forum. I have left cans out there already containing my latest bookmarks, again with the 3v3G4t3 password. Be sure to get the case right.
I will look to raise funds for a reward. 20mil ISK for a screen shot and can with a bookmark to verify the location of the actual wormhole and 10mil ISK for screen shot and bookmark for the distant can labeled "nothing is outside the realm of possibility". First post to the forum of the picture and has a verifiable bookmark will get the reward.
I may not be able to maintain bookmark copies for everyone, so please contribute by returning used bookmarks to your cans and dating the cans. Be sure to name the bookmarks with your progress.
I recommend building a ship that can sustain a microwarp for afk flight. Study up on Energy Systems Operation, High Speed Maneuvering for capacitor charge as well as Acceleration Control for speed.
Good Luck |

Update: I just ran a scan probe in system and warped to an object it found. I ended up no where near an object but I am even closer to the can and wormhole. I now read the can at 73,568,000 km from my current position. I am 0.768 au from the star and 9.279 au from the gate. I feel, the more of us out here looking for stuff, the closer we can get to our goal. |

If it is a secure can, then try to change the password on it. Just enter wrong old password and 2 same new password. Since you entered the wrong old password to start with, eve will give u the name of the owner of the can.
So is it a secure can or not???

Back in the days when we could dual mwd us I placed a can far far far further than any other can, it spent mwd'ing a few hours straight at 29km/s but I think my can is gone now
But good luck and keep it up! You can always try reach that hidden monument if it is still around (no not the station one, the other) I don't think anyone has been there yet.

I'm sure, as people have already stated, that any very far cans were placed back in the days when you could stack mwds - ships were stupid fast in the early days of EVE!
I'm almost positive that the eve-gate is just a part of the background for the system, and without multiple mwd you've never going to get near to where early EVE-explorers went.
However, deep scan probes are highly inaccurate - scan for a known buddy and you might wind up many, many, AU closer to the gate. Its a one in a million chance you'd 'miss' in the right direction but its probably the only way to get closer to the gate. Which, again, 99.9% isn't really there at all. ------------------------------------------

Hmm well i would still be very interested to hear what is in that can and what may be around it. I am sure there is a reason an object would be that far out. at 29k/s a ship would take 51.4434 days or 10hrs and 38minutes. i don't know many people who would actualy atempt that normaly unless they could double that speed to 58k/s and even then 25 days. anyone know the actual speed ships travled back then? im sure we could figure out the max speed ourselves. i like the idea of using drones and warping off target many au though i have never done it myself (would like to hear more about that). is it possible to launch a drone out in space and warp to it later. Maybe some one could do that and log off and their drone is still flying and then warp to it later though i havn't messed with those triangulation drones yet. noticed a lot of comments discouraging people from trying to find out what this object actualy is... interesting.

i would guess there is a note inside written in chinese. the writing will say. when the empire is figthing again, brother against brother, this gate will bring dead to neu eden.
an the empires dead can read the note because it is written in his language.
let us all hope that this gate will never open again to show us what is left from the terran empire. if its open we shouldnt forget that if terra dint fell in a dark age too, they will be in front of us thousnds of years.
sorry for my bad english

BTW - The drone hive is in the system BEFORE you get to the system which actually contains the Eve Gate.
Because you all are such doubters - I went back to my bookmark and dropped a secure can.
When you finally get to it, you can thank me for NOT sharing my bookmark.
(Spoiler: Yes - the background is just spinning and can never be reached and probably only exists on your graphics card memory. However, there is a spacial distortion to which you can travel. There is a loop in space. I have never seen the ruins near the sun though... Interesting... Do I think you can ever get to a place where your ship implodes - NO. If you go solo, there is no way you will be able to "SEE" that space is curved. When STI got to the "wormhole site" we all agreed that we were individually the "closest" when we compared our visual location versus the other ships. It is in this way we proved the curvature of space. (watch your distance from the sun as you progress) Is that just an effect of the disk shaped solar system? Hard to tell. The truth is out there.)
Trust - I guess we have to wait till the contract system is in place to see who you can and cannot trust.
*smile*
By the way - I am NOT asking for any prize money - The Journey IS The Destination.

Edited by: Tecam Hund on 29/08/2006 11:36:07 The wormhole is practically unreachable. When you arrive in the system look at wormhole's position in relation to the sun. Then warp to the sun and look at the wormhole again.
If it is indeed a physical object its probably at least 100 AU away from any object that can be reached by warp in the system.

That thing in the bottomleft is the star in the system, not a wormhole. The thing you can see in the distance (the eve gate) is part of the background, it's not an actual object and is unreachable. You did not reach it. As for the curvature of space, I just plain dpon't believe you and think you're a madman :).
If you're telling the truth, you would be willing to give some copies of your bookmark to the weird things like the "sensor barriers which prevent warping ahead", the places that make you "warp to places you don't expect" and to that spatial anomaly you mentioned. I suggest that they simply do not exist and you are unable to prove otherwise.

Interesting read...
Seeing as CCP, as far as I know, haven't supplied any statement saying whether its just a background image or not, makes me even more curious. And even if they said such a thing, I would still want to find out whats in that container, if its empty or not.
I also thought, wouldn't it be a great idea, if CCP made another server, and this server was infact the EVE gate. And in either to pass to the other server(An expanded part of the galaxy) you'd have to pass through the EVE gate. That would be cool.
PS:has anyone been getting weird messages of someone called Zinn saying the EVE gate will reopen in 7 days lol?? Maybe it was just a random message frm some nut

I did better than that - I put a can out there and dated it for you. Just look for my name when you scan.
Ask someone else if my can is there if you don't want to look.

actually at the other side of eve gate would be the milky way galxay(the one we live in atm for the dumb arses) we r in the promised land now but hopfully in the not to distant futre ccp may bring out a patch in which we can enter the worm hole back HOME but a war spirals outa control between the actual human race and the amarrians caldrians minmatarians and gallentians :P plus all the other races too http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/mythcorp/skylorduk.jpg[/url] |

I do in fact see Katrina Kirellii can in front of me on scanner, however there are more cans further then hers on scanner as well (hers shows within 10,000 km range, others show only at 100,000km directly ahead of where my alt is atm.

I know this is a necro, but I wanted to provide this tip.
You can achieve insane speeds by bumping yourself off of the sun. To do this you'll require a bookmark somewhere near the center of the sun. Warp to it with the most massive ship you have (Freighter preferably) and watch.
This may be of help in travelling such distances. ----- That glorious ship is a Templar-class fighter, the sword of light and purity which our carriers shall drive into the hearts of the Minmatar heretics! |

Just as a back-up to this, yeah. I've hit some decent speeds warping to bookmarks I've left in planets - "The Mains Created the alts They rebelled They look...and feel...human Some are programmed to think they are human There are many alts. And they have a plan." - Forumstar Galactica |

You guys do realize that at one point in this game a long time ago, a person could warp to a bookmark of the solarsystem, all this would accomplish was too make the ship itself expend its entire capacitor and warp in the current direction it was pointing, and there was no destination, the ship just stoped at the exact point where its capacitor was able to take it, so in say an apoc you could warp 500+ AUs in one direction of your chooseing, im thinking at least one person tried this and could get there, if there was some kind of great finale too it all then it would have been discovered already. Oh and pods doing this trick wouldnt stop warp since pods dont use cap too warp they just kept going, until you loged off too force warp to stop.

*Bump*
So did we finally figure it out? What was the furthest anyone went? # of Hours / KPS?
There is the post about 3 ships making a six hour flight to triangulate the things position... but somehow that just does not seem to add up. The gate could just be out of scanner range and be something like a parsect away.. who knows... But I did file a petition for an argument that players (in the ships) could still properly triangulate the distance of the Stargate using nothing more than an old fasion sextant and two known points (the stargate and the sun). From there it would be a simple matter of using a simple filter to mitigate the luminous Corona of the gate (welders goggles could accomplish this) and a fixed point on the edge of the gate. And VIOLA, distance to gate figured.
Only problem is we can't bust out our sextants and there is no way to get percise fixed point measurements with the current in game system. Hence why I filed the petetion. If I get anything back Ill post it. In the mean time, Im gonna start planning to assemble a scientific expedition ship to reach the gate. Right now it needs to be built for speed and sustainment. What would be the best ship/skill stack to accomplish this. Second, would any scanner upgrades possibly help in finding the other cans/deadspace pockets near the gate?
And finally, every time we go AFK we get warped in a random direction. Could this be used to potentially 'warp closer' to the gate to mitigate travel time? As long as you have a slow 'spin up' ship, you can easily cancel the warp back to you last know position upon logging back on. -Are we considered truly lost if we do not know where we are, but have little desire to return home? |

tbh someone should specifically make an alt and buy a crappy computer (im lukin at u dell)
then they should get a condor or sumthing and buy some rly rly rl;y expensive capaictor recharge rigs
fir ou an mwd and all the cap enhancing stuff u can fit on
point in direction of the gate turn the mwd on and go and play on ur rl computer
come back afew weeks later and if u havnt reached it then well....uu havnt

Infuriating!!! I want an answer! This is a great read though (aside from the preachy broad; I've never seen such an overwritten post. A tip, if you're going to shamelessly plagiarize spiritual axioms, at least use ones that aren't so cliche... ).
I would love to see this threat continued. I would suggest paying by the km, so if the current furthest can is 128,000 km out, and someone makes it to 129,500, a responsible member could pay something like 100 isk per km. My corp would be more than willing to donate to the cause.
P.S. - if you make it to the can, you'll have to take payments.

I was flying towards the eve gate, and it dawned on me, I have my alt flying to new eden with a scan probe launcher but what the heck why not run a short range scan with the onboard scanner, I did and I found a Drone area its 8.9 AU form the stargate but it looks alot closer on the map to the eve gate then the sun, Ill post if I find anything else with my alts scan probs, for a BM, contact me in game, via EVE-Mail subject: EVE GATE, or send me a convo.

Ok his is really frustrating, will CCP please let us know if it is a background image or an actual object, i dont expect a full explanation of it but just a hint as to wether ppl are wasting their time and gettin dissapointed or there is somethin there, just no1 has found it/made it? To think about it this would actually make for a pretty cool event, like say concord ships all over the system and stargate protecting the ppl in the system and preventing the event from gettin spoiled, and one of the NPC factions doing an exploration site type thing with an agent in space asking you to help them fully explore the eve gate.

Scan probes turned up nothing new in the system, just the drone area, the BMs in the can near the gate have been replaced with 1 unit of trit, I am 14,000 from the group of cans, I hope those BMs are still in place. if not then I will prob stop here, and leave more BMs to the group of cans in the first can, hopefully, they will be there, and Ill post how far from the sun they go. the goal isnt to reach the gate, its to reach the last can in the system, witch i dont see on my scanner but then again alot of other cans are in my way, might have looked over it. :)

Ok, I reached the cans, the BMs where still there, better yet, the can we are looking for is only 80,000,000 km away from the closest BM, I put new BMs in the cans for the drone area, witch is closer to the gate but not our can, I also added new BMs to the can at the gate, to get to the 2 cans in deep space, Jaidar wasnt kidding it took alot to get to his cans, if anyone needs a copy of the BMs to his cans bc thecan at the gate got looted let me know in game, Till then, ill be heading for the can till I get board, need to fit a faster ship for this, anyway, GL ppl, Ill be keeping track of my new fav fourm and pet project.

To accomplish this, you need to lure people with publicity and money. If enough people pooled ISK, someone would be interested enough to find out. With the large human resources available to the big alliances today, I'm sure an expedition could be put out. Or CCP can just answer, though I think they want us to find out. Anyway, if anyone finds anything symbolic, such as the gate, some ruins with weird text, a portal to Earth and the discovery of hotdogs, etc., can prove it with a BM and multiple screenshots, then I will personally give you 100million ISK. Stuff like this sounds really fun, I'm just 77 jumps from the system.

not a cheap setup so i wouldnt take it into lowsec without heavy defenes

Kind of sad really, that can is about 50 or so days away going around 15km/s so this is going to be a long trip. I tried to take advantage of the logout warp, but it only seems to warp you maybe 300 to 500km away from your current location, witch isnt far when your moving at around 9km/s.

Currently 2.5au from the sun towards the New Eden Warmhole. The Drone instance that was mentioned before does in fact exist! As I have run into the deadspace pocket that it is located in.

The drone infestation was a hidden complex that was scanned out. I do believe that it will repopulate again, but shortly after discovery it was taken down by 2 battleships, and (after reset) it then disappeared. The location is approximetly 2.3au from the star towards the wormhole. Upon finding it the speed of my Inty was decreased to a meak 780m/s due to the inability to use my MWD. After numerous attempts to pilot out I came to the conclusion that I would need to wait for the deadspace to expire. When it did I created a quick bookmark and was on my way further towards the gate.
Someone asked earlier about a setup. Here it is.

With the now Cosmic Anomoly option, I am currently 2.1 AU from the star, and 11.0 AU from the gate. I'm still heading towards the "wormhole". Who knows what I'll find. Most likely, nothing.

lol just eve mail support or any gm back from beta they will tell you what your looking for. Its a background image, there is a "special" place by the sun and that is about it guys. First year after beta there were people doing the same thing without reveal, the questions was asked and even a petition was made, the wormhole IS JUST A BACKGROUND LOL. But hey its cool thinking you might get there someday, and I still have a bm about 315 au from the gate there, back when you could point and click in the system and x out your cap by making Super Safe Spots.

interesting how every time the collective spirit brightens and warms to the idea of the gate being a physical object, someone coincidentally pops up to blather on about it being a background image. very suspicious how they time it so well.
whether you think it's real or not is irrelevant. just leave these people to their natural urge to discover and explore. Surely this is the reason for EVE? to explore yourself and your surroundings? Stop trying to discourage others, just because you feel otherwise. dont turn such an inspiring personal search for truth into yet another theological war. |

Or will the wormhole eventually swallow the galaxy when people stop playing the game? >_>

Edited by: Solje Mobar on 01/10/2008 14:28:40 I've been there today, it's nice but there are lots of things I don't understand (for example, who is Reveka Savant , why others say to show some respect for the dead etc...)
Also, the ")r" can that suposedly has BM's to the furthest object into the wormhole is empty. No BM's in there to find whatsoever. I really would love to hear more about this (if no other to warp to the can and feel like "bodly going where noone has gone before!" :P) so if someone can contract me the BM's I'd apreciate.
Also, I went there in a cov ops , and threw a few probes in there... I found a few drone plexes (4 of them) in a range between 0.5 and 2.2AU from the gate ... I lacked the fire power to even try to kill but I'd would have loved to do it with the moron that happened to be there today with me(but he reacted quite wierdly when I even said hi to him)...
I loved the easter egg feeling of the system a lot, I hope CCP makes more content like this.
Post-Edit: nvm, I figured out the "respect for the dead" thing once I inspected the can :-P -- Segmentation Fault. Core dumped. |

If someone can contract me a bookmark, I would appriciate it. I can then contract BM back when i have flown as far as I have time for each time I go there.

I've heard that the EVE gate has a construct surrounding it with words written in a strange language engraved on it and EVE marked at the top. I've never seen it myself though.

Didn't the wormhole collapse? witch was the thing that caused the isolation from the old world? are you guys trying to find the remains of the wormhole, or do you honestly think there is a wormhole?

Hey, checked )R can. Don't appear to be any BM's there. If anyone has an updated BM, could they contract it to me?
