I was reading up on galaxies today and I started looking through the nearest galaxies to Earth list on Wikipedia. I start to wonder that if the wormhole that was found had a limited range one of these galaxies would be the home of New Eden. So why not make a fun competition out of it!
Galaxy List
Feel free to look through that list and pick your choice of EVE location.
Whoever gets the most likes on their suggestion gets a prize of 100 million isk.
Do give your reasoning in order to persuade others to like your post. One choice per post one post per character.
Competition closes at midnight tonight GMT.
Good luck! |

Also, we have really dumb names for these galaxies. There are two many slow ones and not enough round ones and one more than too few of the bright ones. If I had designed this it would have been at least several times more pretty and slightly more useful.
Also again, I like contests. You had a good idea! Ferox #1 |

To be honest, I don't think the galaxy of New Eden is on this list, for two reasons:
1. The furthest galaxy listed is NGC 4945 at 11.7 light years. Conceivably with the advanced technology of earth's original exploration teams, it wouldn't have been deemed hopeless to return once the gate collapsed if we could've gotten back eventually. So I think New Eden is somewhere well beyond our current magnitude of measurement. 2. It's science fiction, so I don't think it exists anywhere. |

That's 11.7 million light years, in other words a very long way. And besides it's a bit of fun!

its not 11.7 light years, its 11.7 million light years... It would be almost impossible to travel across our own galaxy even thousands of years in the future never mind the distance between galaxies.

Phoenix Dwarf Galaxy. Has a nice ring to it, and not much is known of its features, making it a good candidate for fiction. That which always was, and is, and will be everlasting fire, the same for all, the cosmos, made neither by god nor man, replenishes in measure as it burns away. -Heraclitus |

P.S. edit - Im pretty sure nanobots/Jovian technology could do it. They do everything else that doesn't make sense.
That works out as 7.39904159 +ù 10 to the 11 AUs what's the fastest warping ship in EVE?
A ship warping at 3 AU/s would take 7,820 years to get back to Earth by my maths. |

Yup, thats only several thousand years longer than anyone will live. ;D Though if you're saying they would be willing to wait 8000 years in stasis you might as well say they would be willing to wait 80,000 years or 800,000,000 and then could return to earth from anywhere. I would rather just keep being an immortal capsuleer. Zoooooooooooooooooom

I say that New Eden is in andromeda.
What if wormholes were limited to their graviational neighborhood? A rip in space and time that is concentraited in systems only this was was on a galactic scale and the closest place for the wormhole is indeed our closest galactic neighbor. The new eden gate is/was huge. It is obviously different than solar wormholes (wormholes that go between systems) in which that it is just at a larger scale.

I seem to recall that for a long time the bright star in 23.346 AD was supposed to be light emitted from the EVE Gate's other exit (or entry) at its collapse.
However, history has changed and nowadays the lore seems to be dismissive of this notion citing player concerns:
how can a star appear simultaneously to all systems in EVE which are many lightyears apart from each others? http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/The_Bright_Star
if the light was from the collapse of the EVE gate we would be about 23.346 - 8.061=15.285 lightyears from its entry, which would probably still put us into the milky way and conflict with other lore. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_gate_(Location) |

Milky Way , ya i know cheap trick but i have this rare weird feeling the Original EVE Wormhole worked across time and not across distances.
The latest storylines about what the sleepers, Farjung, Tlalocan and all the old races bring me this dark feeling everytime i get access to a bit more lore from the EVE Fiction digs. |

My best guess would be Andrometa. It sort of has the same shape and not too far away, which of course would be totally ironic. |

I'm going with Triangulum Galaxy. It has the right formation, looks relatively organized, and makes a pretty picture. Also, it has one of the better names. |

I'm going to have to go with NGC_2419 for a few reasons.
First off, new Eden dosen't resemble a milky way type galaxy, due to it's size and layout of stars. For example, the center stars don't comprise of super giant stars. The stars are randomly scattered and dosen't form long spiral arms. There is a lack of super massive black hole in the center. There is only 7500 star systems, unlike the usual billions... The size of it is very small... If I was infront of a computer I could go into great details. BUT I'm at work on my Iphone wanting to stab it with a sludge hammer...
Anyone with an iPhone try...just try and write anything on these forums, then you'll know my pain! Make ICE deplete and re-spawn just like roids. That alone would stop botting. (It'll upset the goons, so that will NEVER happen) |

I'm adding a vote for Dwingaloo. It sounds like the type of name the MMO player who was in charge of the first expedition (And we would be, wouldn't we?) would pick. Probably so they could write back to their friends and say "C WUT I DID THAR?" replete with Beavis / Butthead type snickering. |

Milky Way - cluster on opposite side, same time scale as us, except 20 thousand years in the future (or whatever).
Please don't go down the time travel route, it's the toilet flush of Sci-Fi - you know it's over and the authors have run out of ideas with backward time travel and altered timelines.
Forward timetravel is ok - but never back
So the EVE Galaxy is this one, just a different part of it
