This was one of the best stories ever told in EvE and I had a blast reading through it all:
community.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=370209
It details the adventures of Innominate Nightmare who, as a total noob (like an hour old), jumped in a shuttle and headed into 0.0 space with the rule of never being allowed back into high sec.
I reckon a new noob adventure through WH space could be pretty cool but writers like Innominate are rare, plus a true "noob" wouldn't be able to navigate WH space without at least some basic scanning skills. Still, with a few modifications to the rules perhaps a week old character could do it, or perhaps WH space is simply too incompatible with this sort of adventure.
One of the things that made Innominate's journey stand out was that, contrary to popular opinion, quite a few of the people he met were happy to help him out which made the idea viable. In WH space I wonder if this would still work since there are no stations or local chat and the residents are far more difficult to track down. |

Someone at CCP should turn those posts into a book. I'd buy it.
WH space is even more "frontier" like than 0.0 space was back then which is why I'd love someone to try it again. But there'll only be one Innominate Nightmare. |

In WH space I wonder if this would still work since there are no stations or local chat and the residents are far more difficult to track down. i have read this story. Quite nice idea. However i really don't think it is somehow real these days. Just one example: Innominate jumped into gates and found himself in big gate camp. He said "WoW, nice fleet" and found some friends around. Can you imagine such result these days? I only see one result: 80% of gang haven't seen his message in local and other 20 just want kills. So he insta locked, pointed and killed as long as he uncloaked.
Yeah, which is why I was suggesting WH space. True you get people camping holes but they tend not to be the crazy stuff seen in null these days. Do you really think players are just more uncaring these days? |

I hadn't thought about that. It would certainly make it more of a challenge. Either you would need to somehow trade with the WH dwellers or keep dropping back into null/low sec for supplies. I reckon it could be done though, although I'm not sure what my reaction would be if some noob announced himself in local space in my WH system asking for a shield extender. |

I suppose that if the rule was that you could not leave WH space then it would indeed be very difficult. But innominate was allowed into low sec when the need arose and so our intrepid explorer could perhaps do the same. |

It's a proper page turner, even now |
