OK chaps, I don’t follow the forums really so I have no idea if this has already been suggested. But hear me out!
EVE’s greatest strength is its a living, persistent universe. It is sacred and the defining feature.
But what if it had a side mode?
Games like Rs3 and Diablo have had (or are about to introduce) seasonal game play. What if EVE did something like this too?
A separate Universe - No skills, everyone can fly and use anything at maximum efficiency - no time grind. But we all start at zero again in every other aspect. No Concord, just Low and Null sec and an upscaled economy.
The Universe exists for 3 months, in which time there could be a leaderboard on who has the highest Killboard, made the most ISK, biggest industry titans etc. There could be some kind of reward incentive like unique skins, titles, monuments etc.
Potentially, this could inspire new players, create hype cycles and keeps Tranquility king since this proposed universe would vanish every 3 months and re-appear again at the very beginning.
What do you think?
