BUT the argument of “it worked for WoW” is not really applicable here, WoW really went downhill, the community is really separated and totally different.
You can detect people in TBC that never played by their behavior, I just deleted everything and my happiness improved.
I understood, finally, it’s not the game, it’s the community. Once it’s lost, run for your life.
EVE still has a large portion of the original community, it’s EVE best and worst feature. The technology is just the mechanism.
To prove I’m not a bitter man, I gonna say this: CCP got all the last patch ideas right.
Sometime I go to far on my ironies and some people got triggered, it happens.
Now, putting myself in your position, trying to understand what makes you want trinity back, I can only suggest don’t be nostalgic, be objective about what needs to be changed and enjoy while it lasts.
Sometime we get what we want, sometime we don’t. And sometime we regret getting what we asked for.
We could have the version from exactly when wormholes came out. Apocrypha was a state of perfect EVE. It had a lot of the crucial quality-of-life updates already in place, but nothing from after the game was screwed up by stuff like FozzieSov, Crimewatch, incursions, skill-farming, and Upwell structures.
Yes it is EVE in name only. It is not the same game.
Just because there is one shard for China and one shard for the rest of the world doesn’t make it a multi shard world. Being multi sharded would imply there is some sort of cross play, which there isn’t.
We should totally have this option I would go back in a heartbeat and leave traq behind. They have messed with so much the game I wanted to play and started to play has become a bit of a joke. Let yourself amass wealth like never before seen and live within your own destiny come on pilot, has changed into only do what we tell you and if you have fun we will nerf it so you can’t. Has gotten a bit silly in my mind, so this idea of going back to POS’s that work and 80km kites oooo and mining ships that had there own specific roles would be awesome
Could you remind us what the one thing you could buy with these Game Time Codes was?
Then maybe compare that to the hundreds of things you can use PLEX for?
Perhaps use these two things to show the huge disparity of player ISK generation between the two? Even lean into how CCP pushed them. One with no real advertising and the other waved in your face everywhere you look as a get rich quick promise.
im ok to just erasing the events of the horrible triglavian invasion content and beyond
but anyway there is no reason to EVE classics
people will come here to cry about losing a ship
people will gravitate to the most popular crabing null sec block
people will call other players psychopaths …
same old same old
i dont like some new content but eve is ok imo , its a sandbox, the players are more important than the lil bits of game systems
Inferno came after FozzieSov, after incursions (historically one of the worst ISK faucets to be added to the game that also spawned the game’s most toxic community), and also was the first major patch to screw up empire wars, setting us on the path to the crappy system of high-sec aggression we have today. No thanks to anything after about 2011/2012.
Going to be repetitive here… As far as the WoW comparison goes Classic has taken precious dev time and the recent expansion shows it, and WoW is far more funded the Eve. On top of the player split it would make Eve and Eve classic almost unplayable.
Maybe they could set up a group of players to oversee what outstanding issues from that build would get fixed and what quality of life improvements would be allowed.
Maybe call it the Committee for Server Maintenance.
