For those that don't remember, there used to be something of an EvE tradition in which players would fly to the New Eden system, anchor a can, and write something in the can description "(insert plyer name) was here!" being a common one...
I understand the need for speed initiative, and clearing of the space junk reduces lag... but the New Eden system was, as another player put it, a "living monument". I think it's too bad that the most widely distributed and biggest by far player built entity in EvE was removed. I wonder, is it possible to make an exception to the "cans leave space in 30 days" rule for just the New Eden system? Is that something we should bring back?

The last time I made the pilgrimage, I didn't see a single can.
Not a real answer. Just an observation.

Last time I was there, I saw no cans and no people in local.

The last time I went there, I saw a handful of cans and left one myself. But that was about six months ago.

The last time I was there... it was when we all came through from the other side.
Things went down hill from there...
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors.
If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Yeah, I remember doing that 'Rite Of Passage' in a Jump clone with a Tech 1 fitted Frigate hauling a small secure container for the trip.. It was considered a time honored tradition which marked you as no longer being a Rookie.
Wasn't there a 'Sightseeing Point' for 'Yodeling' or something like that which you could warp to within the system?

But then a abuse problem in advertising cans filling that particular system. Sure they can be blown up without recourse same with cans by pilgrims. Then they could be safe spot hid to be seen on d-scan and slowly dump more and more within the system tell CCP needed to purge the system.
Special case scenarios for system z y x shouldn't be needed. And could be better left to something that could be used by the community as a whole.
This is an example that could have been used by a new POS system. Or at-least new buildings you can plant anywhere, such as Billboards to perhaps list your own corps market orders, or contracts. or other services. Something that could replace the function of long drawn-out can messages. |

Why stop at that?
It's probably the most important site in the game. Entire place should be redone so people go just to see where it all began.

+1 for not clearing cans, last time I was there(a while back) the system had 2 or 3 cans.
It was saddening :(

Have been there also. Would be nice if there was some way we could leave our pilot names near the gate.

How about an agent and a billboard? Speak to the agent on arrival and go do something for him in system, and he lets you sign the guest book when you leave. 
Never been btw. Every time I think of it, I have a look at the map and route planner and it's one long string of pod kills.

Sisters of EVE should erect a monument in honor of the traditional pilgrimages in which people leave their names on to mark that they made the pilgrimage and an option to look at the names on the monument. Seems like it'd fit with the story, especially with the religious connections to the gate that the Sisters of EVE have. |

Grab an alt, park it in/near New Eden, and access all the cans once/month.
You want content, might just have to make it yourself.

You want a player built, "living monument." Why are you unwilling to maintain it?

No idea, but I'll be heading there myself. I've seen C beams glitter off the tenhauser gate, attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, but I've never seen the cradle of god. This must be corrected, the same way Amaar correct any mistake. BRUTE FORCE

We could do it together.
I am quite tired of doing things on my own.
Also... what? Tenhauser gate? Shoulders of Orion?

You can't get close at all. The EVE gate is not something you can warp to. And trying to get there without warp is pointless as the effect you can see in the backdrop is not something you can reach. People used to leave cans as a long trail towards it so one could warp from can to can and then continue where one stopped.
Sometimes I do think it would be nice if they added in something we could warp too, the Sisters of EVE supposedly have a station there to observe the EVE gate.

Well the lore of the EVE gate states that the electromagnetic storms and gravimetric disturbances that surround it rip apart any ship that dares to get close to it. Once in a while the disturbances lessen allowing ships to get closer to take readings and make closer observation but even then they still need to keep their distance. Traversing it or reaching the structure itself is impossible.

Any one else think that the most important landmark of New Eden being in low sec is stupid. Bot my advice for anyone wanting to make the trip is to take a shuttle or stealth type ship there. They are damn near impossible to catch at a gate camp. |
