What's everyones opinion on the idea that CCP would open up a completly new server, an unexploited galaxy. It could come in the form of an expansion, opening up a new world for EVE, and giving everyone a chance to start over again. Perhaps even skill training would be performed faster, or at least a little, to encourage people to start playing there. And also, if you could train both characters on the same account, at the same time, so you can have two 'main' characters on both.
This has probably been discussed before, but let's hear some fresh opinions. Could it work? Would EVE have a potentially big playerbase for it? If released as the form of a new expansion on the market, more players might be brought in the process.

Yea, this idea comes up on the forums every once in a while.
It is a real bad idea, sorry. One of the great things about EVE is that everyone lives in the same universe. Multiple servers would destroy the EVE spirit.

Hmm, although, what if the other universe ran on another storyline? There are a lot of people that does not take overly much attention to the storyline, the "spirit" of the universe if you will have it. Never had much encounter with it in game to be honest.

Forget it man. Bad idea, honestly. Check the forums for old threads discussing this idea.

It would be interesting to see how another different universe would pan out, but it won't happen.

Take a look at the Chinese server. They have done almost exactly what TQ have experienced, just at an accelerated rate, because most people know what to do.
Another universe would very quickly end up just like TQ and Serenity are now...

The reason that wouldn't work out is that most people would just start training a char on the new server but never play it until they could start using t2 toys and such.

I can see how they add in another galaxy that is tied in with this one..(just more regions?.. lol)
"Oh look , the eve gate opened again!!!!"
ahhhh EARTH IS INVADING NEW EDEN!!!!!
Terran Invasion! lol
that could be something after factional warfare (assuming one side got the upperhand) ..then to kinda reset the balance of power, the invasion plotline...then all of new eden's faction have to join together to fight the invasion....
lol
but... yeah, not a new server though...(heck our eve world is made of many many servers..)

Tbh, it should never happen.
A single universe, single shard, where everyone interacts with eachother and shares the same game environment's resources is the fundamental concept of Eve.
Strating from it would destroy everything that Eve has become.

If they released another server cluster and didn't allow you to transfer accounts, I'd agree.
Eve 2.0 new server, new accounts, the whole deal...

Some friends and I were actually talking about this a couple weeks ago. My idea was not an entirely new server, but maybe a new wormhole opening up somewhere. Maybe it couldd appear in, say, Jita, with catastrophic consequences of biblical proportions. BOOM! And make it a little wormhole, so only frigate-sized craft can get through it. And presto - a whole new galaxy, still no sharding, Jita-lag eliminated, and it will take at least a little time before the POS's start sprouting up like mushrooms.
The main benefit would be space. Let's face it... 0.0 is effectively spoken for and that includes the new regions. It was only a day or two before the new regions were choke-camped. A place where newer corps and the smaller alliances could actually get into and stake their claim. I am not knocking the big alliances we have now - territory must be protected. We can all agree on that, but if CCP wants to keep expanding the player base, there has to be somewhere to let them go.

A second server wouldn't be too bad if CCP fixed some of the problems found on Tranquility, like alts, the T2 BPO distribution, a few other things that aren't on the top of my head. Otherwise there isn't any point I think. It would suck to have to train up capital ship skills again while deathstar starbases are put up left, right and centre.

I am generally against this idea, but have been wondering what will happen if the current Empire space becomes too crowded to be viable? I know that many parts of Empire are currently sparsely populated, but given expansion rates is there a point at which it becomes too crowded for current resources?
Not enough roids? Not enough offices? Not enough labs (doh!)? Not enough...? I guess ultimately it will be feasible to simply increase whatever resource is running short, other than perhaps Empire space itself.

I think its a good idea but I would tie it to this one with a wormhole. In this way you could jump for a price back and forth.

The wormhole idea is very flawed.
Can you imagine opening the wormhole in Jita (or any other system for that matter) on the first day?
30,000 pilots trying to get into Jita...
If this idea would ever work, you should put one wormhole in each of the the 4 different race regions.

not at all
News at 10: with Gone'Postal
Eve podders rejoice today as a Wormhole was found.
However Conkord basic testing has showed that our subspace thrusters cause the wormhole to become unstable with each ship in close range to it, Conkord has contained the system and is allowing ships into the sector in limited ammounts. More testing on the wormhole is to be confirmed.
Skip ahead 2 months (ingame time)
CHAOS IN SPACE.
100's of Podders were stranded today as the wormhole callapsed, the wormhole became unstable after a pirate faction tried to gain control of the Conkord control center for limiting the ammout of ships in the system.
90% of the testing on the warmhole was completed and a detailed report to the four race's committes is due shortly.
Skip ahead some time
REJOICE!
The data collected on the wormhole has givin rise to another era in subspace travel... The data collected will allow each race to create wormhole's using existing jumpdrive technology. each of the four races is said to be building the massive stations needed to power the subspace gate's to rescue the stranded brothers.
On a side note, caldari is said to have theres built and is already setting up lvl4 agents within the new systems, raven production has doubled and demand for missiles is draining supplies.
Something like that ??
Forgive the really bad grammer and spelling i was doing it fast.

Never ever at all.
The best thing about eve is it's all on one shard, splitting it will simply kill the game.

no, i dont like the idea of another, seperate EvE Universe. But i would like to see a realy larger EvE universe. Min 3 times as big as it is now, with some good design in routes and a good mix of save and low sec systems.
I would like to have a capital refining ship class :-)

If u want to split something then let the new regions be isolated again.
Lets see how the corps / Alliances deveolp those regions over the next 6 - 9 months, maybe even with a little help from the jove

One question - in this new galaxy, how would there be any jump gates, if only frigates could get through? Your idea means we have a wormwhole to 1 system.
The alliances in 0.0 have fought hard for their regions, and 2007 will see the rise of new alliances and the fall of old ones, just as 2006 did.
Your idea seems to stem from a belief that one pilot, one corp or one alliance cannot make a difference - but EvE's history contradicts you.
This is the only MMO where you can really make a difference. Please, don't seek to change that - you have imagination, use it.

AK.

Yes, this have been discussed so many times. Most likely is it the most discussed of all the horse beaten topics on EVE forums. There is really nothing more to say about this topic then again ..
NO!!
Not yesterday
Not today
Not tomorrow
Ever
Amen
ALso, a wish for the new year is that people to check the forums for existing posts on the topic before posting. I see at least 2 posts a week about this topic, and I get sick of it tbh.

Eve is special due to its one shard implementation. Go down the OP route, and no matter how many hypothetical subscribers you get, EVE loses that bit of uniqueness.
I hope it never happens.

What they could do is this have multiple galaxies on different Shards but make the accessible to eachother via a wormhole....
