Nachshon

Yes. In some ways, I might benefit. I'd be able to avoid some mistakes I made early on. I'm a loyal EVE player, and I'll be around until the game dies (which would include CCP doing something to make it unplayable).
I'd lose something - the backstory of my character - but I'd recreate some of that. The reborn Nachshon would be a Caldari dissident, fleeing his homeland for political reasons.
I will admit, a server reset could be interesting. After some thought, I doubt that there would be a mass attempt to reclaim old territories. Hell, many of the old factions might not even reform! Goonswarm would, of course. As would the tight-knit roleplaying groups. But looser groups might never exist.
Not that I think CCP should do it. It would represent them destroying the existing world. They'd only do it if something happened to screw up the cluster irreperably. The only possible scenario I can think of would be a bunch of devs blatantly supporting one side. Something like mass deleting the characters of entire alliances, allowing one faction to take over most of EVE. Even then, I can't see CCP doing this unless they have a fallback in case EVE dies - ie, if World of Darkness Online is out and doing well. If they could survive the destruction of EVE, then they might reset the server. Once they drop the evil devs into a volcano, and declare open war on which competitor paid the devs to do it. ____________________________________ Caldari by birth, Minmatar by citizenship.

Only if EVERYTHING were reset:
-Regenerated maps -Redistributed regions -Rerolled moons -Relocated Agents
I would hate to start all over but just have everything the same.

Originally by: Jinx Barker It simply will not happen, sorry. Since it will not happen, it is waste of energy to consider it. Since it is a waste of energy to consider it in the first place, then there is no reason for me to make the decision regarding playing or not playing, if the server is reset.
I embrace logic.

It can happen if someone at CCP sabotages the EVE database and backups. You could probably recruit someone like that for 100,000 USD

EVE has a unique history created and designed with the help and efforts of the Community. Wiping the servers and restarting the history would cast aside the effort the Developers and players have put in the last five years. Each player has put a little bit of themselves into EVE by taking the time and effort to create the EVE universe as they see it should be; this much like the characters makes EVEÆs history unique.
New players will have to take that same time and effort in developing EVE just as the seasoned players have done. EVE is harsh dark world and resetting the servers erases the unknown dangers lurking and waiting to attack.

In other words:
they can't be assed to reset becasue all their Mega-Alliance pals are happy as is. Can't even be bothered to increase many more systems for that matter to the size per capita it used to be. Use what you got n00b, who cares if your ME/PE wait is 2 months, who cares that all the LowSec prats are in empire flipping your cans, wardeccing your 10 man 1 month old Corp, salvaging your missions and suiciding your Badger because LowSec is broken and useless.
You will just have to be happy with much much more crowding, fewer rescources, gigantic Alliances which will mash you into paste or absorb you, oh and Cap Ships Online slideshow warfare.
Enjoy!

They just need a new 700 system empire across from 0.0 to be discovered and join concord. That will split carebears and give alliances more pew pew to shoot out while they move... |

The only way I could see CCP and Eve possibly surviving a reset would be if CCP relaunched Eve as Eve 2...Neocron style.
Course, the game as we know it would be gone.

Edited by: Sharp Feather on 19/04/2008 18:39:06 Im a new player and the problem, well its not really a problem is just something that bother me a lot, is that I will NEVER be as good as the older players even if I play 24/24 7/7...
So far, I find PVE pretty boring and I want to PVP. But Im scared that I will always be crushed because I simply cant catch up.
edit: so yeah related to the topic. I would want a LVL CAP instead of a server reset IMO.

Sharp Feather, all you have to do is specialize in a certain ship. I already PvP characters years older than me, and can be as effective as anyone else. A LEVEL CAP is totally fascist.

Probably not - too much time invested in the character to start over.

No, because i the game would be different with everyoen so evened out from start. and racing to get the ebst space..etc. It will be mayhem.

The more you have to lose, the more likely you would be to not continue playing.
Imagine, pvp going back to tech 1 cruisers and frigates, with the occasional BS.
Id certainly do it differently the second time around. Start out with 2 accounts, one to go straight for tackler skills ala goonswarm wiki.

As interesting as it would be to see frigates and cruisers as the main combat force again.... two words summarise what would define a reset EvE.
Moon Rush.

Not necessarily, I assume this is to get the best moon minerals? Seeing as T2 trade is likely to be minimal at best for many months I doubt players would rush that much to get to the best moons, unless they have people willing to ice mine for them, or they'll be running POS's at a loss until the playerbase starts to catch up again.
Also, thought of one more thing. No thanks to a server reset, cos everyone would have an even playing field and then goons would be just as good as everyone else numbers would win the day and we'd all have to hide in empire till the first battleship is built

Imagine this:
The Eve gate has opened!
The only ship classes that are allowed to be flown through or built on the other side of the eve gate are: All tech 1, non-capital ships. Interceptors Assault Frigates Elite Mining Barges Blockade Runners
Flying any of these ships on the other side of the eve gate, as well as the modification of a ships base functions (riggings) would be deemed a terrorist threat, and would be CONCORDOKKENED upon ejection from station. Even in lowsec and 0.0
Terrain/Earth tech 2 weapons only require their weapon size trained to 4 in order to be equiped and used. They do not require any training in lower tier gun skills.
Terrain/Earth logistics ships only require Terrain/Earth cruiser to be trained to 4.
Terrain/Earth universe does things a little differently. They do it simple, you violate rules, they blow you up. Security status only effects where they will protect you.
Only Terrain/Earth towers may be anchored in Terrain/Earth universe, and they can't fit as many guns as the other races.
Terrain/Earth moons would yield simple compounds, in addition to being reacted into complex reactions, could also be reacted into extremely high density tech 1 minerals.
ISK would not be recognized in this universe's market systems. It would have it's own.
The intention behind this new universe would be to create an area where new players could develop and thrive in relative fairness, while not taking away what older characters have earned, all the while removing all of the stupid BS in eve's current PvP.

Originally by: LetsDoThis Imagine this:
The Eve gate has opened!
Actually, that's one of the most interesting ideas I've heared on these forums. Although I see it a bit different.
EVE Gate Opens and it's a one way ticket to another server (ie. once you go through, you can't go back to new eden).
The one thing I'd change though... I wouldn't allow any t2 ships, t1 battleships, or industrials through. Also, I'd make either a skillpoint limit (eg. you need to have 5 or more mil SP before you can go in) or a skill to jump thorugh, if only to prevent newbie alts from bringing through new eden items through the gate.
From there, the possibilities would be endless... New ores, new ships to develop, either from existing designs using new technologies or completely new terran designs. Some of the skills would be useless (so you would probably effectively lose significant percentage of your skillpoints). But also, new politics, new rules...
It would allow all those burnt out people, such as myself, to do discover something new.
And back to original question. I've been playing for over 4 years and I tried leaving EVE 3 or 4 times. I even sold my main once. It's never worked. From time to time everyone wants to play a game of some sorts. And my only game is EVE. Even when I try other games, it only lasts for few days. There is no other game with such dpeth and fun to be had as EVE.

I would think Titan builders and pilots would be a bit annoyed at something like this no?
I don't think I'd bother playing and I'm still a noob. I have too many skills and plans in the works and too much time already invested. Plus the world has a history that I've started learning, which would be meaningless in a new one. |

Who says Earth is still in existence? ;)
I'd probably have a hard time continuing to play if it was reset. Despite my being relatively new (character only), it would break the trust that it wouldn't happen again. |
