Strongly agree. We are getting excitement, drama, new opportunities, who knows what else, and some people just can’t help themselves. ---

Agree, i’ve been playing EVE since 2007 and these changes are going to make the game more exciting, more like the real world where countries (read for systems) will only be accessable to certain people who meet certain criteria ---

Also special filaments. They can take up to 5 ships out of T-Space and into the “nearest” Triglavian Minor Victory in K-Space. ---

Stupid pandering to what amounts to rewarding forum trolls. They have their 21 systems, why not just teleport all Pro-Trig players and their assets there and let them enjoy their “victory”\* in this closed region. \*Only earned because CCP deliberately gimped one race entirely so their special new-snowflakes would eventually get those 21 systems. If that had not been done, Trigs would still be grinding against Edencom. ---

All gates in Urlen are currently down. I waited on a gate for 17 minutes, then logged off. What an excellent feature. Instead of 3 hours of playing, I think I’ll go and get some chores done around the house. ---

No, you just think you know their desired playerbase … … and don’t want to recognize that you don’t. Might be, because you’re part of this actually unwanted, so called playerbase. ---

More players, more activity, more buzz. Setting new records, a growing player base again. I mean it isn’t all perfect, but man there is more excitement and energy in the air then in the last half-decade. I mean, come on: ![Screenshot 2020-10-12 at 22.22.58](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/5/c/5cffef125d5ba860558f485e0e1b4fb76622773a.jpeg) \ > [@Solstice\_Projekt](#): > > We missed an opportunity for a massive disco fest right there, @Black_Pedro. ☹ I know!

CCP playing “Bring on the Wrecking Machine” on loop when the freighters were bouncing off the Jita gates was pure genius 🙂 A perfect moment 🙂 ---

Yes! Amazing! The gates are already back up, and I guess will be flickering on and off until tomorrow’s downtime. Enjoy the event people. The fireworks are a perfect way to bring in the biggest change to New Eden since the Apocrypha expansion. ---

Interesting. So I guess the idea is to keep players logged out until the downtime, and then after this new region is rolled out … it’s one more thing to ignore, basically? I guess what’s not clear to me is why one would bother with the newly cobbled-together Trig region, given the risk profile there. Trade, perhaps, but the risk profile makes that quite unattractive. ---
