Hello there everybody. Been away from the game for about a year and just recetnly came back. I had a couple of background questions becuase after reading some of the post in the RP channel Im confused. I dont know if people just ignore the timeline and backsotry that the EVE developers have put out or if things have changed sence I last played.
1.) Someone was saying that they were born and grew up on a wormhole ship? And is now and adult and certified Capsuleer? I was under the impression that wormhole tech was about 1-2 years old. Stuff that was very new, NOT somthing that had been around for a generation.
2.) Ive read peoples Bio's that claim that there 100's of years old? I didnt think that capsuleer tech had been around that long. I thought that the Jovians gave the tech first to the Caldari about 10 years ago and that in the grand scheme of things its still a fairly new.
3.) Last and probably the simpelist to answer. Is Tibus Heth still the head of the Cladari State? Thought I read somthing yesterday that disputed that?
Thats all for now and thanks in advance for your answers.
PS: (IM looking for a RP corp if anybody knows of one out there thats recruitng)

Edited by: Dilaro thagriin on 04/08/2011 11:33:32 ok.... so, in order
1) i think i know the post you are referring to here, the player joined eve after apocrypha, and did not realise that the WHs had only been around for a couple of years, he is in the process of re-writing his history, at least he was the last time i spoke with him.
2) there are amarrians who are approximately 500 years old, though they are rare, and the Intaki Reborn Idamas (spelling?) are each several lifetimes old, having been 'cloned' multiple times. so there are methods of prolonging life. While you are right that capsuleers have only been about for a short time, that does not preclude those with extended lifespans from becomming a capsuleer.
3) as far as i know, Heth and the CPD still run the state.

Edited by: Wyke Mossari on 04/08/2011 11:50:22 'the RP channel', there are many not just one, which?
1) Yes you are correct, treat twinkers like you treat RL idiots, ignore or ridicule them.
2)Medical advances in New Eden mean that people do live longer and ages over 100 are not unusual in the more advanced (high-tech) societies. Some of the Amarr elite are hundred of years old without using clones (God Flesh). There is nothing in canon suggesting that people cannot become Capsuleers while quite old.
3) Yes Heth is still head of the Cladari State. What disputes that?

If you are interested in the backstory stuff, I suggest reading the Empyrean Age novel. I'm about 70 pages from the end and it is fantastic.

Thanks for all the responses. I compleatly forgot about the Amarr and the sacred implants they use to keep royalty alive for 100's of years. Its reasonable to assume that because of the advanced tech of the EVE universe that people life expectancy would go up and I dont think Ive ever read anything about age being a factor for Capsuleer training either.
The whole Tibus Heth thing..... Well I was reading something off a Wiki site.... I know I know, and I was doing from my smartphone while I was board at work. And the article didnt mention him so it perked my interest.
Yes I have both the "Empierium Age" and "The Burning Life" books and they are both very good and full of backstory but like I said Ive been away from the game for about a year and its probably been as long sence Ive read either of the books. Im re-reading them now to help familurize myself with the setting and backstory of EVE.
If I run across more things that dont make sence to me Ill continue to ask questions. Thanks again and Ill see all of your in game.
