It's Time for an EVE Online Hardcore Server

Well you won’t get it. It’s that simple. You are basically asking for independence from TQ and that’s fundamentally detrimental to TQ and as CCP built EVE on the principles of one shared universe sandbox where everything kinda goes and scaled from easy to hardcore depending on where you go. You are basically asking CCP to abandon its core principles.

It might be what you want. It might be what 5% of the entire eve subscribers want (not a small number) But unless the vast majority want it so that it would make sense for CCP to abandon their fundamentals it can’t happen.

You are simply asking for the impossible as far as EVE currently goes Hell just go look at SISi and the controversial place that holds. SISI has been contentious for years. less so recently but there was a time it was considered dangerous to TQ. Because too many pvp centred players were just playing on sisi exclusively for cost-free pvp. Imagine if that had taken a different path and SIS had evolved into a pvp server and TQ a PVE server. EVE would not exist in its current form. It might not exist at all anymore. It would probably have burnt out it’s replayability a decade ago and gone the way of so many other space mmorpgs. EVE’s longevity it down to its unique mechanics.

Besides Im not sure what exactly more you want from EVE. If it’s not hardcore enough for you already maybe its not the a game for you. Like if you find living in WH space, Thera and Pochaven too easy then maybe you are just done with EVE?

This never happened.

Idk, hi sec ganking would be the easiest way to erase players from the game IMO. For me, ganking alone makes this idea a non starter. Too easy for low SP pilots (multiboxers) to kill high SP pilots and large ships with almost no cost to the gankers.

Assuming you could even kill their pods which would require setting a defensive trap just to play the game, it’s still such a low impact to the gankers that they’d be back in a few days at most.

Doesn’t work with the eve framework

While it is an interesting request, ultimately I believe it will fail because there won’t be enough people building things to support the player base on such a server. No one is going to want to mine or research BPOs when there is the real risk it could all be lost in a few moments. What does end up on the market will be priced according to the much higher risk involved in producing it.
