Yes I know Ill get majorly flamed for this and called every name in the book, but wouldnt it be nice to start fresh with some of the major issues fixed. The unlimited bp copies has imo crashed the market beyond repair. I liked it better when a thorax cost 20 mil isk rather than just a hair over production cost, not to mention the probs that have been caused by everyone in the game owning a battleship. I know that Eve will never be perfect, but am i the only one who would give up all their progress to have a clean start? |

The market hasn't crashed, it simply doesn't exist yet.

Well, so did people producing Thoraxes - but guess what, it's the same old song and dance. Supply and demand. With 80 corporations making ships and 20 people looking to buy one, what do you think happens to the price?
Quote:

What problems are those? That it's not so cool anymore because they're becoming more common? Please. They're the best ships, hence the longer the game is out the more there will be. That's how online games work. Remember the first person who got platemail Armor in EverQuest? Do you think he was upset when "everyone in the game" eventually had it?

If the market dosent exist yet when exactly will it start to exist? When tech 2 comes out? I dont see how releasing tech 2 is gonna fix the market. Itll be just like the rare loot market or the implant market. only the richest peps and corps will be able to afford tech 2 because itll be so expensive at first leaving the average players even farther behind than they are now. If we started from scratch only corporations who are serious about manufacturing would get the high $ bps instead of EVERY corp owning them just to outfit their members. Imo battleships were meant to be the flagship of a fleet not the ship that everyone uses. CCP has already said somewhere that players advanced a lot faster than they had expected (not a big suprise there) so all im saying is that it would be nice to restart with everything going at the pace it was meant to be going. Lots of peps are complaining and even quiting because theres nothing left to do, so whats the harm in a restart? Ive been here as long as most players (since beta) and i have a ton of skill points and cool loot and isk but id give it all up to keep Eve from going down the drain that it appears (at least to me) to be circling already only 6 months after launch. |

BeefStu... Taking your thoughts a little further... Why not just make changes to the current system instead of WIPING OUT MONTHS of invested time and emotion*?
If you honestly think people would accept this you are dafter than you appear.

No i dont think people would actually accept this idea but i just want to know if im the only person who thinks that its the only way to REALLY fix Eve. Of course everyone would quit and sue and some would probably have to check themselves into some kind of rehab clinics, but i just wanted to know if anyone else out there shares my views. |

Not really. In beta, most were carefree because you could get a player wipe or lose a ship to a bug at any time, so most didn't bother about any serious "work", but just went around having fun. I know I did :-)

Player whipe = I dont have the skills and money you have and I am mad.
Just realize some have seen the gold rush and are going searching. This game is very fair. Everyone plays the same rules. Its true that the longer you play the better your char is. But the changes that can/will occur will make those choices a consequence/reward.

Joshua,
I said if indeed it could provide a solution, in some way, to the serious problems EVE is experiencing... i would do it.
Hypothetical Question:
Would you prefer to keep playing a game with serious problems in important aspects of it, even if you knew that a Pwipe would be the quickest most efficient way of setting it straight?
BTW Time spent in EVE is material gain.

No you arent' the only one that thinks a major game rollback is in order if the fundamental flaws in this game can be fixed. I have already recycled my main char(with its 3mil plus skill points) the thought being if they fix the game so it works starting over won't be a problem, if they don't fix it then I've eliminated the only reason to continue playing a game that doesn't work.
EVE has so much to offer I can only hope that in time the dev's will understand the basic flaws and take a bold step to Fix them and give this game a chance for a very very long life. If not I'll find I time sink that is just as pretty but I actually enjoy playing.

Look at the thread entitled "The way things should have been". IF, and ONLY IF, the game was restored to the original design and implemented along the lines of that thread, I would accept a pwipe, and/or instantaneously move to a second server. Anything less, and the answer is no.

They say a 2nd Server would be required if they hit 15,000 concurrent players on a regular basis. We appear to be running around 4000-5000 so a long way to go.
It would be nice to start again, have done it many times on other games but only when I have completed them. As this game as no "end-game" in sight I would not want to lose what I have achieved since game release.
I see where your comming from but in reality too many people have invested too much time in Eve.

Unless your posting under an alt, your full of BS since the character avatar's on the boards worked a while ago.
IMHO you just started this game and want it reset so your even with everybody else. You got nothing to loose compaired to the ppl who have been here long.

Would have perhaps (no promises) gave you more respect if you would have had the courage to do the post with your main. No ammount of people saying "I know his main and he has alot to loose" will do justice as its thier word against any hard fact.
For any future postings of such idea, I'd strongly suggest doing it with an avatar that people know you have alot to loose, not just a joe-blow alt or n00b.

I would opt for a server reset. Money and items, skills, it's all relative. My gripe is that the beta testers had a HUGE advantage over everyone else ,mainly because the ore was not redistributed for weeks after the game went live. Those that knew where the Ark was were millionaires inside of a few hours. Maybe a 2nd server should open, those opting to start on a level playing field could join. Flame away, flamers.

I wouldn¦t have any problem with a wipe. It¦s not like they¦re cutting your right arm off or something. They¦re just deleting a few 1s and 0s. No need to get all upset about something like this.
But a wipe is not needed. It wouldn¦t fix anything. The missing content would remain, the bugs would remain, the ship-balance problem would remain... so IMO a wipe wouldn¦t make a difference besides maybe the BP situation.
CCP would have to fix the game before a wipe, and if they¦ve fixed the game a wipe isn¦t needed anymore. Know what I mean?

The real problem would be if they wiped everything and then found that all the fundemental flaws hadnt been addressed. This may set a dangerous precedent for them to wipe the data a second time for similar reasons.
And lets face it, eves player base would be crippled if that happened. It may be a game but alot of ppl have spent alot of time getting to where they are now to go back to nothing.
maybe if they refunded the rl money ppl paid to play the game prior to the wipe I would consider it. I would see anything else as a waste of my own money.

Well,
A player wipe? Maybe... lots of things are impossible to fix unless they do it, and as such, im for it...
BUT
The root of the problem is, that the current system rewards time spent online instead of creative ideas, and as such, no matter how ingenious you are, you'll never be able to reach the ones current on top, given they keep playing... you simply cant advance faster than them.
The game would need some ways to make a difference compared to the others. Things like the personalized research on blueprints would be a good start, but the game would need a lot more, to give latecomers a chance in the race.
Otherwise, its an "once first, always first" game, leaving a lot of players without goals to fight for. (Why fighting, if you have no chance to reach the top?)
Bottomline:
Once they made the changes necessary not to get the same problem again, im all for a fresh start. Not b4 that.
Sadly, im also sure they'll never do it, as they'll not risk losing the short-sighted majority just to make the game better.
ps. no, im not a new player, been here since B6. yes, this is my main, no, im not rich, but yes, i have a nice collection of assets i would lose with a pwipe

Player Wipes in beta test were expected.
Within the first few weeks of release, would have angered a lot of people but they may have got away with it.
Player Wipe now, six months after release.
The game needs a lot of balancing, fixing, new content added. a player wipe wouldn't fix anything.

Let's say they did fix ALL of the bugs in the game, balanced out the PvP problems, fixed the market, got the agent system and courier missions working properly, factions worked as they were intended and player-owned items were obtainable. If CCP accomplished ALL of that and took it down to a wipe - minus skill points and training skills/levels - I'd consider it, but not before then.
If they did a wipe at that point the mad rush for ship and weapons production, slugging it out for prime areas of space, regrouping of corporations and alliances would be a madhouse! Now THAT would be worth watching

Actually, if they do it RIGHT and have the full faction system in place, AND no Highways and all the other things in the thread "The way things should have been." then a wipe INCLUDING skills would be required, because a lot of the cross-Empire skills would be either not available or extremely hard to obtain.

Although it would be kind of fun going through frigates and cruisers again, and have economy start afresh, it wouldnt change anything since not that much has changed, and we would be looking at the same thing in the near future again.
And it would probably cut the number of subscribers down to record lows.

What the @#$% does it matter if someone post under an alt or not? It is stupid to discount someones opinion simply becaue they choose to remain anonymous. With the number of rampant idiots playing this game and trolling this board, I don't blame BeefStu. He is not abusing his alt by flaming or spamming the forums, he is simply stating an opinion.
So many of you have this knee jerk reaction to seeing a post by an alt. "Ooooh, oooh, it's an alt, he has noooo credibility and he's a chicken!!" Just stupid.

READ THIS! LET'S SEE SOME FEEDBACK. AM I CRAZY?
By the way, this is my main and it has been in the game since the first week. I have tons to lose. But for me, the best time in the game was the first few weeks trying to figure out how to beat everyone else at making money. At the time I didnt realize there were beta testers just raking it in because CCP left the world pretty much exactly the same as in the beta. These beta testers are the most powerful in the game now, and filthy rich. If resetting the server meant a shuffling the world around, redistributing ore, moving good spawn locations, basically putting a blindfold on all of us and spinnind us around a few times, I think it would be great. The problem is that the people that started on day 1 will ALWAYS be more powerfull than people starting now, or even a month into the game. This is a major turn off for new players. It is even a turn off to seasoned players, because we get bored.
I think this game would be better played in "cycles" that lasted, say 6 months. Dismantle, start over. Then at least people would have some tangible goal. Right now the universe just seems to stagnant. We have Techell making everyones ships, SI and Biomass are the big bad pirates, all the Ark is gone, etc, etc.
A 6 month lifecycle would motivate people. There would be more action because the next cycle would be around the corner. Different layers of Tech could be used after each reset to make things interesting. New Races, bonuses, ships, weapons, etc. Not better, just different.
Newer players need a chance to get to the level of the people that started on day one. I recently signed up my GF. She loves the game. But she has asked me "What's the point? I can never even be half as powerful as you or anyone in your corp." What do you tell noobs? "Yep, too bad".
Just my .02 isk.

I like that idea Adliger, except that having your skills wiped every 6 months or so would suck, but i see where your coming from. I still think however, that a playerwipe and implimentation of features the way they were suposed to be from the start is the only way to fix the damage thats been done. |

It wouldn't be suicide Jash if the changes made created a game people loved to play.

Yes, skillz would be lost, but if you think about it, the entire skill system needs to be rethought. Right now the skill training system falls prey to the "Law of Diminishing Returns". Who is going to train for 30 days to get an extra 5% projectile turret damage? Skill bonuses should be stepped. Example=
lvl1 = Ability to use item
lvl2 = 2% damage increase
lvl3 = 4% damage increase
lvl4 = 8% damage increase
lvl5 = 16% damage increase /plus random super hit +%50 damage.
You get the idea. There is no reason to train to level 5 in anything unless it is required to start another skill.
That said, I LOVE THIS GAME EVEN WITH ALL OF ITS FAULTS!!!

I would support a player wipe for one reason alone. Most of the beta testing involved game mechanics. For beta testing to occur for an economy simulator there has to have been a real trial run with the economic foundations in place. This is what has been occuring in EVE since its official release.
Can the dev's look at the economic model in place. Make large sweeping changes to bring a better overall balance in the game. Of course they can. But to bring it off and put all players on the same footing a wipe would also be required.
I guess the biggest question unanswered by the dev's: Is EVE an economic simualation or a combat PvP simulation? You will always have an element that what a purely PvP, BLOW EM UP, game. Yes eve can be that. But to be an economic battleground direct PvP fighting isn't even necessay.
I applaud the dev's for the ambition toward the overall scope of this game. It can be a lot of things to many people. Since you cannot possible satisfy all desires at once how about providing a better road map regarding the games conceptualized long term development?
