Hello,
I was wondering if CCP ever plans to create another realm, or world where everyone must start from scratch?

I have been playing Eve for exactly a year on 4/20, and although I have enjoyed the game immensely, I have decided to cancel my accounts, once, and for all. Though I have long been a member of the 0.0 community, I have experienced a serious concern, which is that whenever I try to do something, anything, in Eve it seems there is always someone doing it a thousand times better than me. This is because the players that have been playing since release have a HUGE advantage over newer players, and unlike many, if not most other Massively Multiplayer Online Games's (MMO's or MMOG's), in Eve you cannot reach the upper levels of game play by simply playing the game more often; however this is not my 'beef' with Eve or CCP, the issue at hand is that the rift between the upper and lower classes (in terms of numbers of Skill Points) of Eve is growing far to large; newer player are far less likely to enjoy Eve, because it is impossible to compete with other, older players. The fix other MMO's makers use is a level cap, but this would absolutely ruin Eve.
The place where this is most evident is 0.0, where the very best aspects of the game are to be found: PvP and Wealth. For example, even my account and character that has always been 100% combat skilled has yet to have any success what so ever without the help of corp members that have been playing for Eve for much much longer than I have.

This is a huge frustration for me, and the only fix I can think of would be to create another realm, where any user of the realm must create new character's, and character transfers would not be permissible from realm to realm; or another option would be to create a maximum Skill Point transfer limit, say between 3-5 million SP, and offer free transfers to those that wish to move and meet the requirements.
This would work well, because the gap between the upper and lower classes would be far less severe, and eventually character transfers could be made available based upon whether your characters' Skill Points are below a median number. This way people could enjoy the buoyant market and playerbase on Tranquility until they are ready to move to the new realm.
This brings me to my second, and minor gripe regarding Eve, the lag, which is horrendous at times, a second realm could fix this issue.

I would highly encourage and appreciate your input.

-Jan
