Fair enough, but I doubt many people who have trained more than a token amount of SP would agree to have their characters wiped.

TBH, this is cool and all, however I highly doubt CCP even has a properly working code base from that far back, or even programmers from back then that can handle their spaghetti code.
One of the biggest aspects to EVEâs development in the last decade is cleaning up badly written code from the early days. I doubt anyone wants to go back to any of it.
Have fun telling that to the judge right before PAâs elite team of lawyers rip you a new one and you end up with a major fine for wasting the courts time.
Come to think of it, perhaps I too would be
As long as there were cameras in the courtroom and you were testifying.

Their lawyers mightâve finished fancy colleges, but my $50/day expert in Bird Law is hungry and motivated.
Also, thatâs not how lawsuits work, lmao. You donât get fined for filing a legitimate lawsuit such as âI paid hundreds/thousands of dollars for a product/service and then it was deleted/removed without letting me utilize it.â
I demand trial by combat.
Exactly what a poor would say. 
For real though, this would piss a lot of people off and make a lot of them leave (player progress is known in the industry as a âhookâ, because it keeps players invested, and helps draw them back when theyâve left). And if it doesnât kill eve outright, wealthy people would simply rebuild their wealth even faster now that they are more knowledgeable and experienced, and many of the old powers would just reform along the same lines. Iâm sure theyâd fight amongst each other as they try to reestablish themselves, and this will probably allow more room for unafilliated alliances for a time, but I assure that the blue donut would reestablish itself sooner, rather than later (assuming the game can last that long).
You donât need a server reset to build wealth, catch up to the vets, be competitive, or claim space. You just need a modicum of brains, a can-do attitude, and a healthy dose of determination.

No idea what youâre talking about, but I find it funny you assume what you do. This wouldnât be so little me could be powerful but to wipe for the content. I find it funny players in Ark would welcome wipes despite years of breeding lines and effort because of the content, but the EVE community would all just quit. And Ark players are the ones who are considered soft, but okay.
I think you all just donât like the idea of the rug getting pulled out from under you cause you like the power you have and are perhaps addicted to it. Maybe the whole âitâs for contentâ is a charade and you really are all just too scared to lose what you have.
Ark doesnât have a subscription system that equates payment directly to character skill progression.

So, it has nothing to do with you? Because youâre not the first person to suggest a server wipe, and the people who have come before you have always cited things like not being able to catch up to vets, it being impossible to claim space, or others having an unfair advantage.
No. Like I said, I would be able to build up ridiculously fast after a server reset because my knowledge and experience wouldnât be reset. So, I simply think itâs a terrible idea, and one that has historically been proposed by those that with defeatist attitudes and inferiority complexes. That doesnât apply to you? Okay. Still think itâs a bad idea though.

I donât think all these derps understand how a server wipe would look like to prospective players.
âSo thereâs this game where players spent money for nearly two decades to build empires and grow their characters, and then one day the developers decided to erase everything because some people complained they couldnât catch up? SIGN ME THE â â â â UP!â
lolno
It sounds like a really swell idea âto help the newbiesâ on paper, until people think about it for a bit and get that âwait a secondâŚâ moment of clarity.
This is the most selfish idea to be proposed. The people proposing it are doing so purely out of the selfish desire to take away from the haves to give to themselves, instead of out of any concern for new or potential players. I bet most of the players proposing it arenât even new/poor, theyâre just jealous of those who have more.

It should have lead to eve players getting into dust matches.
Personally I donât think you know what youâre talking about nor have you spent enough time in the game. Those of us who have been here for a long time have worked hard for what weâve accomplished and we value all that weâve accumulated during that time.
This 100%.
Iâve been here for 13 yrs and the last thing Iâd want is to restart again.

Skills have a limit. All they really do is diversify what your character can do. Even newbies get kills man.
Well they do provide an advantage, but yes, skills increase options, and yes even nebros can get kills and make meaningful contributions. Iâm not quite sure why youâre bringing this up though. I mean, I didnât think I said anything that would imply that I believed otherwise.
My bad I misread your post. But I still stand by my statement.

Which is literally all just worthless pixels. I think you guys are too attached to worthless junk and thatâs probably limiting the pvp content that could occur, but to each their own. The achievements in these games are superficial and mean nothing, because in the end it is just a game.
Nope⌠not interested in an EVE Classic and not interested in a server reset.

Not the pixels but the time invested. Thatâs priceless because you canât get that back.

No youâre definitely missing the point.
EVE before - single shard pvp sandbox.
EVE now - instances and âdont interfere with peoples themeparkâ.
That doesnât matter.
If we had an âeve classicâ tomorrow. Itâs not like people would say âwere not allowed to have an npsi community because Minted said it didnât exist and therefore its bannedâ
And planetary interaction has no player to player interactions. They create items that are sold in an already existing market. But there is no interaction between players that comes just from PI. It was MEANT to when it was originally conceived. But it was never finished.

Older versions of eve would not work. Not only would it split the already dwindling player base, but it would be the start of years of training, just to get back where you were now.
Wow classic works because the player base consists of millions of people. Splitting the population isnât a huge problem.
That being said, wow classic consists primarily of mediocre players that want to be the cream of the lame crop. There is nothing new, nor will there ever be. Itâs rehashing old content for the sake of rose tinted goggles.
Can we at least get a PvE server then?
