Open sisi server under subscription

[Elathy_Maricadie]

Access to SISI (test server) is already being discussed here: Help with learning how to play Eve Online.

I saw it implemented in another game (Escape From Tarkov) where the option is offered to players, for an extra price to the cost of the game ($ 20 in a single payment) you are allowed access to play on PVE servers, without access to other pvp players allowing you to play poorly against the AI, complete the missions, and enjoy the game without the pressure exerted by the rest of the players, the game is exactly the same, to enjoy the game without the pvp requirement and the disadvantages that it has, and I said to myself, wOw, it would be incredible (remembering the times where sisi is always open) that ccp gave us access through subscription to sisi, we could test the fits, visit the lore sites, fight against drifters in whs, test mechanics and places that we cannot do on the real server because it is unsustainable, understand how the anchoring of structures works, help new players, train them, enjoy the parts of EVE that we cannot enjoy due to the nature of ourselves, the players, if we want to They think, there are hundreds of parts of eve and content that we never tried, we are hundreds or thousands of players who would like to experience and try eve online content that is not possible to do under alliances, corporations and players control certain areas.

You are comparing EVE to a game that is fundamentally different - Escape from Tarkov is a FPS Battle Royal style game. What works for one game does not necessarily work for another. Having a “PvE” server of EVE would simply not work, mainly due to EVE’s 3 pillar system (Resource Gathering > Production > Destruction) which requires asset destruction more or less equals the production otherwise the Economy would fall apart.

I UNDERSTAND that ccp closed access because the test server reveals a cost, and that cost increases with more players, also, I imagine that when it was open to everyone, the players hindered the developers and made their work difficult, just as the resolution of conflicts required support, etc., in short, everything would be problems.

It’s not about the cost of running the test server. Access was cut off mainly due to Test Server (SISI) being mirrored from live server (TQ) and for that reason access to it was being exploited for gathering intelligence on structure locations. Thus having access to SIS, by alliances/coalitions, it had major impacts on activities taking place on TQ.

As has been explained in the other thread on the subject of SISI, it exists only for the benefit of CCP testing new features before they go live - not to the whims of players.
