Quick answer no

Why? this will split the playerbase, lowsec/null will become even more of a desert, will create more issues on the server side to deal with the splitting etc, etc. Want to play on another server, join the Chinese one.

One of the selling points and main points. ONE server ONE universe or have I missed something?

Go back to Alabama and get your GED. Then maybe after 30 years of advanced special ed teaching techniques, you can give a responce that is forward thinking and not dealing with the fact that you don't like being on an even playing field because your tiny boy nuts haven't dropped and the idea of you being on an even playing field and having to nut up and fight with skill, and experience is scary for you :)

it wouldnt change much, older players would stomp any hope of the new players to get anywhere. Before you know it you have allainces spiling over from one universe to the other.

Yes but they wouldn't have the enormous skillpoint advantage over everyone else, and they wouldn't be able to hotdrop 20 nyxs on you.

And thats going to matter in 6 months?

Well let me interate.

How long does it take goonswamr to replace their entire fleet? and membership from scratch.

Im not talking about a real allaince btw.

Its called the goonswarm effect.

Throw enough players at it and if ithey OP the idea its a bad idea.

A hypothetical allaince or gamer clan from another gaming community moves in, they're all hardcore and they number in the multiple thosands. How long would it take to make a battleforce similar to what is being thrown around on the current server. Answer is less than 7 months.

Then that leaves us the question what makes it different from current servers.

Any vet will tell you SP advantage only goes so far.

As a person who did some SP capping calculations its pertty much true.

terrible idea is terrible
first off, eve numbers are down cause of incarnage which pissed half the population off to the point of pressing the cancel button
next, what you want is everyone to be a noobie, which don't get me wrong, would be kinda fun but it would kill the eve credibility as an mmo.

most players who worked hard for what they have in game would quit
newbies would be put off, in 5 years would they be deleted and have to restart?

Don't neglect to see why growth of eve has been in steady state and decline, which makes your use of "selling point" redundant.

Growth does not form deserts.

"ONE server ONE universe or have I missed something?" Yes the test server and chinese server both undermine this.

Who wouldn't want to be on a even playing field?

The idea that eve is not an even playing ground is a fallacy. You can achieve anything that anyone else has achieved. You just need to spend as much time and effort as them. That you would ask for a new server tells me that even if you got it, you'd be as irrelevant on the new one as you do on the old.

However, its not going to happen for two reasons:

1. Eves biggest tagline is one persistent world, and its biggest asset is its unified community. Stating that the reason eves playerbase is declining is because its a single world is drawing a very long bow. You have no proof to back that assertion up.

Which brings us to my favorite latin phrase:

quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur

"what is asserted without reason may be denied without reason"

If you give me no proof when you say its the single shard thats lowering subscriptions, I need no proof to tell you you are wrong.

It could possibly be the lack of bugfixes and improvements and complete stagnation for two years, or anything

Secondly, setting up a second server would cost a lot of money, something CCP is allegedly short on right now.

If you did read what i put, these are also some of the reasons of it, patches over patches over patches after 8 years make for a crooked building, that shows signs of flaws and unbalances, but patches that change game mechanics in a 1 time mmo environment, it creates an unbalance for the old and for the new. The only way the one world thing would ever work for efficiency and for a game that is so competitive based on tiny changes to mechanics and fuelled by isk is for in a one server MMO format to perfect the mechanics first then to never change them in patches, which is what a new server could be subject to.

You talk much, but you say nothing. If you actually have a point to make you are terrible at making it. That up there is grade A horse turd. Give me PROOF that the decline in subscribers is directly and irrefutably linked to the single server environment, or stop posting.

Also, please structure your sentences correctly.

Eve sub drop or even eve small number of subs in the first place is down to a lot of reasons ofc

Thanks for making yourself look stupid :).

sisi is a test server, it's like a firewall for bad ideas and bugs so they dont come onto the real server. as for the china server they added that for a reason i forgot because i lost they article they explained it in. i think it was something about bots?

buy a character if you want sp, otherwise you can actually play to get isk, buy a plex, get some implants, and wait for some sp. problem solved!
