Question : Is it time CCP created a new instance of eve universe (like Wow etc)
Reason : Eve has now become saturated pretty much, 0.0 is now totally controlled by the major powerblocs, massive napfests etc, resources drained etc. Its now increasingly difficult for corps/alliances to recruit just by the sheer number of new corps/alliances, almost impossible for new alliances, or smaller alliances to gain sov space without being crushed by the major napfests/powerblocs. Is it time to now give all the up and coming newer players/alliances etc the same chance 4/5/6 year old players had? To be able to build a new universe from scratch, the pave new horizons, alliances etc without out the constraints of the current situation? Me i think so...be interesting to know what people think...of course keep the current instance also lol, i dont mean remove the current one, just create a new separate one.
POST WITH YOUR MAIN
No. More space, particularly more NPC 0.0 is the answer.
All your request boils down to is "I WANT TO BE KING".

Originally by: Infinity Ziona I think the question is not "SHOULD IT HAPPEN?" But "WHEN WILL IT".
As I have said in many threads before this one regarding the same concept - There are already 2 EVE universes.
CCP will one day offload EVE onto a bigger content provider (SONY, EA etc).
Thats gonna be a good thing - right now I just had 2 clients crash 5 mins apart with a .EXE error and the other client is currently having a loop fit stuck jumping on a gate.
You're seriously contending that giving EvE to EA or SoE would improve EvE?

Originally by: Infinity Ziona Enough with the bull**** predictions (You don't know). Enough with the EVE is EVE because its single server (Its not single server anymore).
You're refering to the china cluster?
Yes to the chinese server. Its not only available in China, you can play it from Australia without too much trouble. I imagine the same with the rest of the world too.
So why aren't you, then?

They might actually fix some of the glaringly obvious bugs at least. You know like the one that makes you stuck on a gate forever, that appeared in 2004 and was patched out by a lame session change timer, and somehow made its way back into in the last patch, despite us still having the super lame session timer.
Yes of course, EA's noble record of fixing bugs in their games gives you this confidence. And by "fixing bugs" I mean "releasing 'EvE 2010' and by "confidence" I mean 'the chance to pay an extra $49.99 every year for those bug fixes'." |

Originally by: Queen Ba'Ku eves 250,000
+50k, the 20% of the last 6 months. So 300,000. Which makes it take the 2nd place in western MMO demographics in the $10-$15 category. Everything other than WoW has less subscribers and is falling. Unlike EVE, which is growing.
i agree..but very very very very slowly.....so it 5 years time it will have maybe 500,000 subs and 70,000 people online... Guy seriously i care about this game as much as you do...ive played for a long time..i dont want to see it die either, but you have to adapt..
So you argument being that because EvE is more successful than every sharded game except one, it must shard or die?
Hahaha... no seriously, we're quite well aware that you're just not up to the challenge of competing on the same turf as everyone else - in your own opinion. |

Originally by: Queen Ba'Ku
shard or die? not die as such perhaps just not really go anywhere, the new subs will unsub just as quick, that im sure is not ccp business plan..you get new people for them to stay, not go after their trial.. not true as been involved in many wars/space taking etc..but thats your opinion your entitled to it...
So, having seen 6 years of continuous growth, now being single-sharded will make eve stop growing?
Got any evidence at all?

Oh cmon dude, eve is saturated now..powerblocs, napfests show me your blue list...i bet its huge (NC Pets are we). Be nice to see Initiative survive without it
Ooooh, well, I can see you know so much about INIT., I hardly dare speak.
Wish I could say the same about your corp, whoever they are.

I know enough...no blue list then?
Shall we just cut to the chase where you admit you've lost the argument and are trying to make some kind of feeble ad-hominem ?
All spaceholding alliances have a blue list. INIT.'s is longer than I would prefer and shorter than you're assuming.

Originally by: Jack Gilligan IF they ever add more instances, I think they should be time zone based. IE: a Russian server, a EU server, etc.
Yeah can see how that would be convenient for ED right now...

Originally by: Fille Balle Meh, there's enough room on the server. There's just too many people in highsec, and even then they're just not spread out enough. Some more highsec might help, but it would only be a matter of time before the same problem resurfaced. No, I think the only proper solution is to make a "Carebear world" where pvp is optional. Let the "dreaded" carebears carebear it out on a separate server.
Make it so that you can move your current character TO the "carebearland" server, but NOT BACK to tranquility. No more whining on the forums, no more complaining that carebears have it too good, probably no more need for concord, or highsec for that matter. No more carebears ruining the economy, no more overcorwded highsec.
Just my 2pence
Heh.

Originally by: Queen Ba'Ku Edited by: Queen Ba''Ku on 26/05/2009 21:20:15 well if your happy with 1) Be pets/renters of either NC, Goons or Bob? Cos if you want to break into sov holding 0.0 you will have to be. Otherwise youll be crushed.
Provably false.

Originally by: badbush The game is how it is. You can draw parallels to the real world, as far as powerblocs" etc go.
All I hear is "it's not fair, I want sov but someone got there first".
Yeah, pretty much this. As far as I am aware, virtually every single sov system belonged to some other entity before its current owners took it away from them. Certainly the huge majority, and definately all the decent space. This "Vets got free sov just for being first boo hoo it's all so unfair gief new server NAOW!!!" rubbish is simply wrong.

And to imagine that valuable fresh space wouldn't immediately be claimed by the Big Boys is extraordinarily naive. Some people actually believed that minable moons in wormspace would have allowed "small corps" to get their ""fair" share" of moongoo, when it's obvious that the big powerblocs, being better organised and having more members and resources, would simply have got there first in most cases.
Oh damb how did I forget W-space?
Yeah so it turns out that a full 1/3 of the systems are a free-for-all that can't be claimed by the powerblocks... so obviously we need a new server.
