Baby boomers?
Clearly to keep our sense of importance for joining during the "dark and good old times" we need to be able to phsycologically place ourselves above these new players. Amirite?

Plenty of gamers out there who never buy gaming mags or frequent the gaming sites and just buy what is offered in the retail stores. This is especially true of older gamers who take one look at a gaming sites forums and never go back.

I hate to be a downer, but I still don't think the box will bring in droves of new players (at least, not all at once, though the extra exposure the box will bring will improve the steadily trickle of noobs, of course).
I still think Ambulation (can we PLEASE go back to calling it that? Walking In Stations is the lamest name ever) is what will bring in droves of new players - I hear on other gaming forums something along the lines of "EvE is great and I would LOVE to get into it but I can't wrap my ahead around being a ship and a picture" on a daily basis.

I agree with the first bit, even if it's released on shelves, I don't think we'll get a huge population stunt in a few hours or days, I think we'll see maybe a gradual increase over time, like we usually have.

Eve on March 10 will be camping Jita and using alts to attack newbs and watch them die and complain in the help channel. It will probably be a lot of fun, although some players may be banned for it...
I will just read local myself and perhaps steel their civilian Gatling guns from their wrecks for fun.

Sure, if they deserve help, i.e. ask patient, intelligent questions and show some common courtesy.
No stupid questions, just stupid answers.
Or who is the one who decide if it's an "inteligent" question? For sure not the 0815 canflipper/scamer/ganger/wannebe PvPler!

We should all help them, be nice to them as Wrangler says. Give them 2 months to get used to the game, get past the massive learning curve.
Then, once they finally have a grasp on what this game is all about, curb stomp them back into a noob ship and watch the newbie tears water our forums!

I prefer to call them diversion tacticians. Encourage them to fly a cruiser in lowsec straight away. They keep the gate camping pirates occupied for a few seconds while you jump through just behind them and warp off. Don't forget to PM them with thanks afterwards though or they won't do it for you again

Did it ever occur to anyone that if you bully/grief the hell out of "newbies", they'll quit before maturing into a soft/inexperienced target that has something actually worth taking in the future?
If you go on a can flipping or suiciding binge then you'll either make the player quit or harden them up to the world of Eve- if they're hardened to the reality of Eve then they're not going to do something stupid like bring an unescorted hulk or hauler into low sec, or open fire from their faction fitted BS on that lone frigate salvager that's invaded their empire mission.
People can't seem to get past their need for instant gratification & power kicks from picking on the extremely weak/vulnerable... speaking of which, I think that some of the attitudes being displayed in this thread are pathetic & laughable in the extreme- people acting & sounding like like a bunch of dorks, bottom of the social pile, who are nearly wetting themselves over the possibility of having someone to pick on instead of being picked on themselves like they usually are... sad

Some of you are so full of yourselves you should be considered bio-weapons (though small caliber). ;-)
Call'em whatever you want.
They'll only be noobs for a few weeks - then the 3rd that neither left nor carebears all the time will be in a gang and shoot you down. Just like all the noobs before - and we all were noobs when we started the game (I have a high charisma char and had no idea what bloodlines would optimize anything for me - so what? Didn't matter after a while).
I for one welcome the next generation of soon-to-be-ex-noobs.

You know, us newer players are not some kind of desease or infestation. Newer players should be encouraged because at the end of the day, its our subscription that will help CCP improve and expand the game you all seem to love so much. Some of you have even stated that it will be fun to grief the newer players, why for the life of me, I cannot comprehend. In laymans term, its like a 15 yr old picking fights with a 5 yr old Oh my hero!
I am well aware Eve is a pvp orientated game, but c'mon, grow a set and go pick on that 5yr vet sitting in 0.0 space rather than a month old newbie, give yourself that heart thumping challenge, isnt that what pvp is all about anyway?
I'll certainly give you your dues if you have played for awhile, amassed all that wealth and experience,..however all it means is that you have sat on your bum in front of that computer alot longer than us newer people, it may seem "cool" in this virtual world, but really, is that something you'd want to boast about?
Oh by the way, I plan to shout with the mass "kill the nubs" 2 years from now, when I am no longer a nub. This is just my save the nubs cos ......I am a nub. Viva la newbs!!!

I'll certainly give you your dues if you have played for awhile, amassed all that wealth and experience,..however all it means is that you have sat on your bum in front of that computer alot longer than us newer people, it may seem "cool" in this virtual world, but really, is that something you'd want to boast about?
Oh by the way, I plan to shout with the mass "kill the nubs" 2 years from now, when I am no longer a nub. This is just my save the nubs cos ......I am a nub. Viva la newbs!!!
at least your honest about why you want to save the noobs.
lets all get real here if we all log on to the forums for the next month or 2 even 3 after M10 are we going to be surprised to see whines etc about noobs getting killed. no were not going to be surprised at all. after all, this is eve where killing noobs is not only allowed but encouraged along with murdering, pillagaing, stealing, scamming and raping. err sorry not the last one, just everything else.
