All great points in this thread. Any character after 2 years can be "maxed" if they were specialized, anything else is just for variety.
Seriously, if you want to go having a good chance of killing anyone else in the game, dont ask for new 'realms', just accept that you are going about gaming all wrong in the first place.

Originally by: Malcolm Gerwulf Much of the advantage in EVE is not from skills, but from an established powerbase and/or economic base. Can you say with a straight face that none of the past patches since release have been to correct ISK or corporation exploits?
Starting a new server is a great way to start a universe the way it was meant to be played, with the new patches from day 1 that enforce the balance that was supposed to be present all along.
If CCP is committed to a single shard operation then I admire them and what I see as their outmoded ideas. There are lots of us that have money just as green as the vets, and we are looking for a fair shake in a semi-new environment.
You must have ignored every post against sharding. Most of them explain to you how that big multi-billion player doesnt care about you. He won't go after you. Most of the things you do will probably be aided by his participation in the economy.
The trillion dollar corps and alliances don't care about you either. They definitely provide the need for minerals and hauling an manufacturing though. They help support little guys like you by making the whole economy move.

Originally by: Malcolm Gerwulf Actually, I read every post in the entire thread and took it into consideration before posting. Thanks for making assumptions though.
It may be that the biggest corps don't care about me, and if so then I'm glad it's the case. I think this entire issue is more about jealous veterans guarding their income, afraid that they won't have anyone to sell Merlins to if a new server is begun. It puts more control in the hands of the players when a new server is opened. Imagine if you were fed up with BoB or the Privateers you chould simply boycott and create a new chracater on the new server. Instead of voicing empty complaints on the forums that I seem to see so often...
Everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion, I'm just saying that multiple shards is the way of the future, and that EVE is free to remain a "quaint" game with it's few loyal 5+ year subscribers. Cheers.
There will ALWAYS be someone better than you in something. Are you ALWAYS going to move on to a new place to try to be better there ?? Should We create a new shard for every new player, or every month so that no one feels too behind?
Your whole argument seems to stem from the numbing thought at the back of your head about how there are single players with 1000x as much as you and entire corps and alliances full of these guys.
Countless sharding does not solve the "problem" you want fixed. It just provides many separate universes with their own "problem".
Wow has so many "players" yet most of them never interactive with each other, I do not care about wow. This is EVE How many dragons can you slay? You cant slay mine. |

Originally by: Malcolm Gerwulf And where would the CCP employees play on their time off from work? Granted I'm playing the devil's advocate here, but it would demostrate where the company's loyalties lie: to the players that want an honest chance to start fresh, or to the established players that have seen it all and want to keep doing it anyway.
And it's not true that you will "always be a smaller fish" because somebody has to be bigger!
There is always someone playing more than you, better at what they do. You will not be the best on a new server unless you spend your life in eve. You really havent given any good reasons for a new server except "I want to be at the top as well!".
The rest of your post goes off on a tangent.

I still haven't seen any good reasons for a second server.
-New players can't catch up -Can't compete with old players -It is no fun getting owned
NEWS FLASH !!
You will be left behind when all the experienced players come on the new server. Players that quit will come back and they will still have more knowledge than you.

Originally by: Avon This whole arguement revolves around there not being a level cap to moderate the gap between older and newer players. However, there is such a level cap, and so the whole discussion is pointless.
There is an absolute maximum potential in any one path, older players are just able to diversify more.
Malcolm read this out loud 5 times.
