More to the point, what if CCP completely wiped their bottoms?

If they wiped the servers it would suck cause there'd be too many people racing with each other to maximise their sp gain. We could do without way way way above average new started achura characters that even set their alarm clocks in keeping up and following their concise calculated skillplan while rushing to manufacture +5 implants.
Whereas as it is at the moment noone cares too much as there's no way in hell they can catch up to the sp's of the oldest vets.

Whilst it would be a total drag if they did, I think I would still play.
Put it this way, it would still be the best MMO out there, and the only real option if you like internet spaceships.
Additionally, think of how crazy the rush for 0.0 would be. Also, suddenly loads of things would become viable... like invention... etc.
Actually... heres a thought:
As an academic exercise, I'd quite like to see a parallel Eve online server with slightly different rules (which would need to be fleshed out), which gets reset every month or so. Could be fairly funny!

Are you implying that anything around me in fact isn't real, even tough I can touch, smell and taste it?
So we ARE living in the matrix, aren't we?

No it doesn't... because, as I understand it, the resets are just forked copies of the TQ database at the time.
I'm talking about a proper server, with thousands of people, reset every couple of months, which may be much less stable and much more of a rat-race. I expect no-one would be trying to hoard money for the future any more - it'd be all about the PvP.
I'm not actually advocating it, just saying it might be interesting to see how that affects the game. |

It would be fun, people rushing to grind ISK to secure the names of every major alliance that has ever existed and try to sell them. (WTS: Band of Brothers & Red Alliance!)
T1 production and mining would be huge initially, 0.0 very empty because it would take months before anyone could afford any major POS installations let alone outposts.
People would immediately start several alts to train for capital ships, and buy blueprints and start researching them asap for the great capital rush that would occur after approximately nine months.

I'd wait for them to retrieve the DB info from thier COB data haven and reboot (maybe 5 day downtime...) Then I'd ask all the ppl who "quit" for thier stuff.

It wouldnt make a bit of difference if they reset the servers or not.
The people who suck at this game would still suck.
And the peope who rock this game would keep on podding *****es back to empire.
But thered only be like 10 people left. And 1 would probably be raping the other 9 the entire time. |

Not saying this is what they're planning or anything like that. This is simply a "what if" question.
If CCP wiped everyones character data and restarted EvE fresh and new, would you still play?
No.

They'd have to scramble the moon minerals or the old maps would still work. This would mean a massive effort to probe moons, spam POSes, and establish T2 production. This would be very difficult though because there'd be no battleships for sale, and no ice for sale, so it'd be pretty damn hard to "rush" to L4 missions to get the 100M isk needed for a small POS tower, not to mention the countless millions you'd spend on moon probes and on modules.
And even then, who would buy the dysprosium from you? Who would you turn around and buy ice from? In fact I think you'd have to mine your own damn ice and stockpile your dsyprosium.
Basically it'd be a big challenge because there'd be no money and nothing on the market, everyone would be grinding L1 missions or mining in rookie ships working on building themselves a bigger ship.
With massive manpower, you could get ahead quicker than everybody else.
It'd be kind of fun.

No.
Primarily because if it happens once it'll happen again. So the whole point of the game is lost. Eve wiping its servers would have the same effect as changing the gameplay mechanics had on SWG.

In all honesty I would probably stop playing.
Not out of rage or anything, it would just be a good end point.
Without that happening I fear I am doomed to be addicted to Eve forever.
