Hey,
Thanks a lot for bringing this up!
We have many gamers trying EVE Online every day, and some of them are not making it past the character creation process. As we are working on improving the early journey and reducing the information overload, we have been reviewing the number of choices new players face when creating their first character.
While Ancestry is a relevant choice that introduces more depth to the lore of a character (to make it abundantly clear, we are not removing the concept of ancestry from EVE Online), it is not a decision that has immediate gameplay consequences and has often been indicated to be among the ones misleading new players to thinking that this will make a difference in their experience.
Each test we conduct gives us more data and information that we can use to increase the number of new Capsuleers successfully starting their adventure in New Eden. We need to get players in so they can have a chance to experience the wonders of EVE Online, at which point, choices like this will mean much more to them. This is but one part of the journey to set a stage for a third thriving decade for EVE Online!
PS.
We have seen reports about some players still having the modified character creator with Bloodlines removed that was tested last year. This is not intended, and we will be correcting that in one of the upcoming releases.
