I have been reading the boards for quite some time now and I have noticed (as all of you have too im sure) that about 95% of the boards are flames and/or kiddie talk (we are l33t, we will pwn u, we're so uber, kewl, bla bla, and the list goes on and on).
I don't know the demographics of EVE, but I'm guessing there are a number of people that play who are older, like above 25 years old. I'm guessing a good part of this older crowd would like to have a more mature game experience. The type of crowd that would want to check the disrespect, name calling, kiddie talk, and chest beating at the door and play like mature adults. Same game with pirates, alliances, PvP, and economy but without the kids that seem to be inventing new ways to convey the most disrespect in the shortest sentence possible.
So, all that being said I propose 2 EVE servers. One for the l33t, uber kiddies and one for the mature crowd.
Everyone starts in the mature server, but after 3 offenses of disrespect, local smack talk, or any other idiocy you get booted to the kiddie server for at least a month. For the first few that make it to the kiddie server, don't worry....it will fill up fast and you won't be alone.
I'm absolutely sure this topic will get locked, but hey it was worth a shot. I'm sure that I'm not alone in this feeling.
Flame on! |

I personally think all stupid ppl should be imprisoned in the Polaris system.

I realize my post was laced with sarcasm, but the idea is actually pretty good. Not realistic in an online game but it sure would be nice. |

Can we also include those people that have disfunctional personalities? After all not all immature people are under 25. I know quite a few 16 year olds that are more mature than alot of people.
  
Take comfort in knowing that its probably some pimply faced twit, or 40 year old virgin, who gleens everytime mommy offfers to take them to needle point lessons |

Edited by: nether void on 04/03/2004 20:32:12 Although I haven't seen a lot of "wtfownage n3wb!" on EVE (only had an account for about 5 days), I have seen it on a LOT of other games. It's really annoying. I think you could just have two servers: one with no age restrictions and another for 22 or 23+ people. That would be cool.
Doubt this will ever happen in EVE. It would take a lot of juice to set something like that up, and I don't think the ROI would ever even out or go black. ---------------------------

Of course...that's why I based the whole thing on actions, instead of just age.
As for the last poster, I must say I think the smacktalk has been getting better since when I started playing EVE but you will still see plenty of it here too. Stick around a while, if you can get over that aspect of the game, it's very fun.

Some of us like to behave like kids while playing EVE. Why would you like to take that away from me, don't you have no heart, do you think the whole world is about you... (this is where I burst into tears and run to the phone to tell my mom) __________ Capacitor research |

I have no problem with Polaris, some people just want the rules to apply to anyone but them.

I personally have been lobbying hard to get an entrance exam installed as part of the account signup process. This would be used to separate "normal" people from the dimwits, dullards, dunces, dolts, nitwits, nincom****s, dullheads, dumbbells, dummkopfs, dummys, idiots, morons, simpletons, and those that generally lack reasonable common sense...
Initially I wasn't going to let them play period, but since I view myself as a fair, nondiscriminatory and impartial person. I have decided after careful consideration that this idea of a second server would be ideal.

Only problem is, with a 2nd server for the 1337 kids and immature others, the server totals would be misbalanced. Instead of Tranquility being 7,000 people, Tranquility server would be 500 people and T3h1337r0x3r server would be 6,500 people. So anyone on Tranquility looking to have alot of people to interact with that are mature, are SOL.

I don't know if you have played many other mmorpgs, morpho, but compared to most, EVE has the MOST mature crowd of people I've ever seen. This is because the majority of players are older. Another thing, having everyone on one server makes it that much better!

People seem to think that servers come for free nowadays.
A second server means twice the contribution from all members to have both servers running. End of the/your story. ------------------------------------------------- Lying Scumbag |

this is a stupid idea, smack talk is a part of the game, whether you like it or not, if they made 2 servers i would bet that at least 75% of the population would quit instantly

It is currently part of the game, yes of course, we all put up with it...my suggestion was to make it no longer part of the game. As I said a few times it's not practical at all because of costs/administration so of course it would never happen. It would be nice if some would grow up and be civil though, would make the game so much more fun for all. I find it funny how much smack talk is on online games and the intenet as a whole, and how little there is in real life. That tells me how super tough people become when hiding behind a cloak of anonymity. |

And to comment on this subject. Although this is a good idea there are no plans of making this happen. And there are also some serious complications about implementing this aswell so, donŠt expect this to happen. ____________________________

The great part about this game is you can choose your Corporation you work for. You dont have to read and local chat. If you are not able to play this way you only bring the grief on yourself. Heck how can you work and live in RL if you accept everything everyone who says something stupid. --------------------------
Garsh ma it soo cool killing people in there space thingies |
