Title says it all. I'm not really wanting to debate the merits of introducing new space or whether there's tons of empty null, etc. I'm just wondering what the technical limitations would be--"physically" adding in the space, naming the systems, setting up jump gates, etc.--of creating new space. For example, if CCP wanted to create a region beyond nullsec that was traversed by gates but unclaimable, maybe having no local chat but some other unique features, how difficult would it be?

What would the ramifications of new space mean? Would it make the universe smaller or larger? And then if it was unclaimable, would people still move there? Live there? Does CCP have to name each system or can that be done randomly?

Wormhole space?

We already got W-space.

Id rather see them shut down lots of systems and corral more people closer with the SOV areas so there will be more wars and more things to actually take over or accomplish in these areas than there are now.

*EDIT* I read what you posted but I didn't give a **** so I posted what I wanted to say regardless..

I was unaware that w-space is traversed by gate travel.

Stargate. Wormhole entrance. Apples. Oranges.

Folks who are not interested in such activities will not change their ways and dive in just because space is more crowded and resources are therefore more scarce.

They will most indeed abandon the game.

Get real.

this is your 3rth thread about this topic with a different alt. Will it ever end? Or did i miss a thread?

My alts have been posting without my knowledge? You really ought to get your facts straight before you start spewing nonsense.

That did not stop you when you started the thread

You really should stop posting. You have no idea who my alts are, and you definitely have no knowledge that any of them posted, since, surprise, I only post on my main. Your tinfoil hat isn't providing any meaningful discussion toward the OP, and your conspiracy theories will fail, since, again, I only post on my main.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to justify myself to you, random tinfoil hat poster, or anybody else on these forums who spew garbage out of their mouth in order to provide noise for otherwise constructive communication. I realize that this may come as a shock to you that Eve players--given there are thousands of them--may occasionally have similar ideas about how the game could develop.

I take your lengthy attempt to talk yourself out of this as a obvious sign that I was right and leave satisfied.

I was unaware that w-space is traversed by gate travel.

Beyond that, Null-Sec is already too empty as it is. I appreciate folks want to explore "new" space, but the simple fact is "old" space is simply not being used today as it is.

First, they take 3 midgets and dress them up as IT professionals.

It's the players fault

There are people who want to move into nulsec, but don't want to be renters, pets etc etc
They want independence, but the current regime squishes them every time they try

eventually they give up trying

First, they take 3 midgets and dress them up as IT professionals. Then, they get 16 hamsters. Then they teach the hamsters how to generate electricity. Then they have the midgets roll polyhedral alphanumeric dice to generate the names of the systems. Then they run the names through an Icelandic spell checker. Then they have a pub crawl. The last dev to throw up has to come in to work the next day and throw special darts at a blackboard to determine the placement of objects in the system. And finally Clyde the orangutang from "Every Which way but Loose" writes the python code while watching the movie "Snakes on a Plane". It's his favorite movie.

Waiting for a dev confirmation on that one, but they may not be allowed to comment as it is inside information. The second to last dev to throw up from the last pub crawl told me.
