So ... we haven't heard about earth for almost a decade .... what has happened, what is happening on Earth?
It would be interesting if CCP brought Earth back into the picture as another playable faction .... |

Except Earth (if it survived) had tech that was far beyond our tech levels, and that was thousands of in game years ago.
And bringing Earth as a playable faction is quite possibly the least interesting option of any of the current races they could add. |

Exactly, people always talk about "terrans" and "aliens" being "good to bring back/in", fact is, because of the flavor difference amd obvious lore/story implications of those factions, it woudl turn the game from a difference of human conflict, into a "us vs them" paradigm, which is overdone and detracts from the overall story of the game. |

Well, there are hints to it in the lore. For example, Jamyl I is speaking to someone or speaks to a 'voice' rather, which told her, to find lost terran technology, such as the Terran Shield Inverter utilized at the Battle of Mekhios.
Use of this weapon is dramatized in this trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKdTJjDnYzE
Her Abaddon is able to annihilate the entire elder fleet, using a shield inverter to cause their own shields to reverse-energize, collapsing into their hulls, then cascading across the entire fleet.
Mind you this is technology that the Earth-people/terrans LEFT here, before the gate closed.
Their technology, by now, would be so far ahead of us.
At any rate, at some point they will come through again, or perhaps in the latest trailer "Prophecy", we are opening a gate back home. |

I have it on good authority those guys are mostly harmless.
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'Hodor'. |

They might have had their own exodus and are currently behind or on equal footing with New Eden.

When we blew up their expedition fleet by collapsing the wormhole, we made sure Earth got fried by a gamma ray blast. They're not doing anything anymore, they got it worse than we did. At least we're alive and free.

Its hard to say, it could have gone both ways. While we are behind based off of time, we also got help from Jovian and other ancient tech that could have expedited our advancement moreso then Earth. Not to mention it is unknown the repercussions the Eve Gate collapsing had on Earth, it could have devastated them more so. Not to mention the exodus plus the internal fighting that was going on could have caused them to slow their advancement down, or annihilated themselves.

Doubtful. Reason: Voice speaking to Jamyl I, Terran Shield Inverters, etc.
We don't have anything like a shield inverter that could wipe out a capital fleet in one shot. |

I imagine they're waiting for another wormhole so they can come back and exterminate us.
As to their power, imagine this.
The Jove's power makes us look like children. But the Jove are nothing before the sheer, unstoppable might of the Terrans.

If I recall my lore, the Jove never reached pre-wormhole collapse Terran Tech. Jove Tech is considered Tech level 5, Terran Tech was Tech level 10.
Even if the wormhole devastated earth, as long as they survived, they'd likely still have the knowledge to rebuild. On this side of the wormhole, most of the colonies weren't even fully terraformed, and had no industrial/manufacturing base or knowledge to build off. |

You know Jovians are primitive even compared to the post collapse terrans right?

Wasnt the wormhole to New Eden discovered pretty close to Earth? Look how the eve gate collapse affected New Eden and it was what....4 ly away? Destroying life on Earth would certainly not have destroyed the entire civilization since at that point they had a higher amount of colonies and infrastructure than New Eden did.
I wouldn't mind seeing them become an enemy later on, but we have so much to explore still in our cluster...Jovians are still somewhat of a mystery and interacting with them, even as they are dying off, would be much more desirable at this point. |

I haven't payed much attention to recent lore or novels. So I have no idea what you are talking about. Last I remember from a lore standpoint was that there was no contact post collapse.
If you could link that would most helpful.
Now that I think about it, I should really get the novels.

It might have been several solar systems, even regions away.
The collapse of the EVE gate only affected nearby solar systems, the thing that killed off alot of the civilisations was the fact that their suplies were cut off, they were not self sufficient enough yet to survive without help from across the EVE gate.

Ahh yes, it was supposedly discovered in the Canopus system which is approx 313 light years from Earth :P |

Haven't heard for a decade? More like a millennia
In any case, if you watch the introductory animation to the game, it explains that Earth was pretty much forgotten about.
Most people in New Eden have no clue about the existence if Earth at all I would suspect.

Doesn't anyone read the lore. It's been 2100 decades since we last heard from earth.
EVE's only legitimate ISK halving service. I have 500Billion to not give away. It's easy for you to double my money. Just send me some isk, has to be 100Mil or higher, and I will send you back half. I can't lose. One guaranteed winner every round. Do it now. |

I look forward to the reopening of the wormhole to Holy Terra, and the slaughter of false prophets and puny DUST soldiers by the glorious might of the God Emperor's own Adeptes Astartes.
Or who knows, maybe the Amarr and Terrans would hit it off well, get an intergalactic bromance going on, lord knows it'd be hard to tell the difference between them. |

https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Timeline
AD 2730 The Old earth solar system fully colonized
AD 3691 Warp technology discovered
AD 4224 Warp drives for ships invented
AD 7987 The wormhole leading to the world of EVE is discovered
AD 8061 EVE gate collapses
Then EVE's humans experienced an 8,000+ year long Dark Ages.
There were ~3,700 years between when ship warp drives were invented and the EVE wormhole was discovered. The EVE wormhole collapsed 74 years after being discovered.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Humanity spread pretty far across the Milky Way galaxy and that the EVE wormhole was a blip in terms of population migration. Plus, does anything think that 74 years is enough time to bring the EVE colonies up to to same tech and industrial level as Human society in the Milky Way?
tl;dr - Terrans are gods. Don't let the Amarr tell you otherwise.

Doubtful. Amarr was settled by Catholics. I think the Terran Space Pope is going to be unamused by what the Amarr have become.
I, for one, welcome the Space Pope's attack fleets.
edit: Well, okay, fringe Catholics.

Right-click on a star some time--you'll notice that some of them are older than the age of the universe. What this means, of course, is that the Eve gate led to a place distant in both time and space, and we are in the far future.
Ergo, Earth was consumed by Sol billions of years ago when that star became a red giant. |

Reading the lore just makes me depressed about all the stuff they don't finish and put in the game.

After the gate collapsed, the terrans had to start all over again, just like the humans in New Eden.
Except Earth's progression was slower, and they are no more advanced than we are, right now in the 21st century.
In fact, we are Earth, the ones playing the game EVE Online, and New Eden is nothing more than fantasy.
And then you wake up and it was all a dream.
