Is it just me or has our universe become small? I loved the days when systems were still undiscovered, one or two corps romaing about in an area. Now its just a hodgepodge cluster of inconsiderate, ignorant, roid hugging, gate camping, and market monopolozing toons making you play the game they want to play.
There was once a decent community... and now I think the idea of bringing hope back to the universe is overshadowed by a bunch of meatheads who own way too much ISK and make billions by logging in 3 hours a week.
There is something wrong here... and I can't excactly put my finger on it. On one side you got people harping and whining about the "right" way to play... and on the other side you got people who just want to play the game they pay for. All I'm trying to point out is that we have too many people in this universe... myself included.
Is there not anyplace that hasnt been expolored and tagged with a huge can that annoys everyone? I'm wonderng what the intentions of the game originally were and what they became. How do we solve a community clustered together all doing the same thing over and over? I guess when if you look at it that way, thats the intent of any game.
What EVE doesnt need is constant new skills, ships, items... it needs space expansion. Give each racial region a new worm hole that sucks you in to another universe.
Ok... I think I'm done.

Honestly leave caldari space. There is tonnes of systems not being used in other races space.

I disagree. There are the rich and elite in Eve as in life. There are those who are so far ahead of me skill wise I might never catch up to them. Does this affect my Eve experience? Only to make it richer and deeper.
Just because I ain't rich and I can't hold my own in a fire fight against a veteran pilot doesn't mean the game is dead for me. I like knowing there are bigger fish than me out there. We need the Bill Gates of Eve as much as we need the front line grunt Ensign Expendables like me. One day I'll be the veteran pilot, the vet of today will be even more deadly although the rule of diminishing returns means the gap between us is smaller. Hopefully there will still be many new grunts, nuggets and noobs joining the ranks. Speaking as a nub I have to say there is a great community here. Perhaps you should spend some time with the proles?
I reckon it would be nice to add more and more systems to the 'edges' of space but I reckon CCP would like to see a bit more done with the existing 0.0 before creating more of it. There is a lot of life left in Eve as it is, add to that all the additions and it really is limitless.
Frankly it sounds to me like you have just gotten stuck in a rut and need to shake things up a bit for yourself.

its called having to interact with the people around you and not bargin in and demanding things. I'm sure if you put in the time to talk to people you could find a way to live in 0.0 as much as you want. Its never the super gankfest most people make it out to be.... I dont know alot of the problem I guess stems from the fact that when people first start the game, their told... DONT GO INTO <0.5 and ESP not 0.0 or you'll get WTFBBQED. For the new player this is pretty much true, but after 3-4 mths some basic knowledge of how to exist in 0.0 is all you need. Sure you'll lose a couple ships occasionally , but its not the total you'll get BBQed in 10s deal unless your stupid enuff to jump straight into a chokepoint/gatecamp.

Look at Players in Space once in a while. You'll notice that the majority of systems are still completely empty. Get away from the hubs and you'll have plenty of open range to play in.

Get out of caldari space if you dont want to be crowded.
Head for amarr space, it is a great place to mine where you know almost everyone's name in local. Seriously amarr space is like living in the peaceful country.

Not true. Absolutely not true. I for one have been living in 0.0 for most of my Eve-time (i'm playing for more than two years now) and lost maybe two or three ships in fights i didnt want to fight. You just have to act foresighted and considerate and you'll be fine.

I've been alone in systems 2-3 jumps off the 'highway' systems. High sec space (0.7-1.0), and only a few people coming in now and then. One place had alot of dense/concentrated veldspar, and some other mineral that was slightly better. But I hate mining, so I didn't pay attention to the name, and left because the rats there weren't worth the time. :/
I'm pretty sure you won't have a hard time being b yourself in some of the remote 0.0 systems.

Maybe not an option for you, but thousands of other players live almost exclusively in 0.0 space without much complaint. I haven't been to empire in 3 months probably. I'm probably safer in 0.0 then I am in low sec empire. Plus I get to shoot whoever I want, which is always a plus.

I think many of your forget the fact that to head to 0.0... you obviously have to run thru camped gates... then you have to get somewhere where you can develop... then you have to build and move your corp there... along with maintaining safety for you and your members... in addition to people claiming to own the space... alliances everywhere fighting for space... and if you are not in an alliance you might as well forget heading there... not to mention the huge bills and requirement alliances hand out to you... and lets not forget the wars against alliances then mean all flights thru empire are now forever screwed.
talk 0.0 all you want, but many dont head there, because many dont want to go there... simple facts. so if we are mostly in empire... until 0.0 is somewhat a decent place to go, the game will be based in Empire. ccp forcing those into 0.0 is not a game based on people doing what they want to do.. its then a game based on ccp manipulating players.
facts are... empire is getting crowded more every day... i'm tired of new content... we need a restructured space... more space... more empire.

And I think there are TONS of >= 0.1 systems with few to no players in them, it would appear that you want more >= 0.5 space to move a new freighter about in and trade.

now is there really a difference what character i use to talk? or is that an ego boost for you to think it makes me shimmer in my pants... LOL
I'm talking about new areas... new ventures... more empire for people to go to.. without dealing with the crap hacks in 0.0.... capeesh?
I think a wormhole in each 4 racial regions that allowe for 4 new universes is somthing that will eventually have to be opened up... and possibly even making each new universe ONLY accessable by that regions race. Now that will bring out a WHOLE new edge to EVE.

Your views will normally gain more support if you believe in them strongly enough to tie the reputation of your main to it.
But, forgetting that for now, at any given time there are at least a hundred empire systems totally empty, totally deviod of people and full of nice fat roids, stations and agents for you to utalise.Granted most of these are 0.4 and below, but if you want to be the explorer doing new things you have to be ready for risk.
As for your problems with 0.0, being unable to run through the camps and set up logistical support all in one day....jeez learn to walk before you can run. NOTHING worthwhile in eve can be accomplished in one day.
1.Negotiate access with a 0.0 alliance 2.Time your entry to co-incide with when the choke point camp is controlled by said alliance 3.Utalise said alliances logistical support, while building your own 4.After a long hard slog of building you own support, forming contacts,getting respect and learning the area roll the dice and go it alone. 5.? 6.profit (sorry had to be done)
It is THIS level of organisation,diplomacy and teamwork that is the next level of eve.If,as you wanted, empire space was suddenly expanded with new wormholes it would just be the same old crap your doing now, but with a different system name.
I hope that clears it all up

You can't be somebody in Empire space, you are just another face in the crowd. 0.0 is where it's at if you really want to build a legacy.
