Why? And why would you want it to?
I forget if I answered without trollingā¦
#1 Make CCP a neutral third party.
#2 Remove War Hqs and structure requirements for war.
#3 Add in a member count limit for war ineligible.
#4 Eliminate monopolies and create opportunities for competition with a path to power for all.
#5 Get control of all the free omega accounts for multiboxers. <<< lets make this #1
(free after buying 3month omega and selling back LSI)
#6 Actually ban the bots, script users, and third party control of accounts
#7 Never allow the concentration of all power for the purpose of tax collection again.
A new golden age?
Ancient Earth finding a way, after thousands of years, of reaching New Eden.
What would such an exploration bring? War between New Eden and Earth or a new era of collaboration?
If thousands of years of unknowns exist for ancient Earth in New Eden, then thousands of year of unknowns exist for New Eden on the other side of the Earth built super gate.

If there was a complete reboot it may bring in new people who are intimidated by bitter old vets for the first week. But once it was clear that the big power blocks hit the ground running and quickly established themselves as the dominate power blocks again, all the people who felt like they could not compete before would sulk off and go back to Diablo 4.
It would also permanently turn off a group of people who love the feeling of building something, and never again invested time in EvE for fear that after spending years of building something it would just get wiped again.

Classic case of equality of opportunity vs equality of outcome. All the lazy people want the same rewards, status and power as the people who put in active effort and capability which just isnāt going to happen. The fact that these people donāt even realise this is the case just shows how extremely dunce they are.

Hi guys.
I have returned after 7 years of hiatus - much has happened, and Iām glad to be back. Slow but steady.
But lol, wtf happened to original plex? It has quadrupled in price for some thing called Omega. Had to wrap my head around that one.
What would make the game better?
Make me CEO so I can actually get the teams to work on something.
But in seriousness, I wanted to make a new topic to discuss my disappointment that in 7 years what has progressed? The fact that some games CCP made have been turned off? Wtaf?
So, hereās what Iād do:
Movies
No, they donāt have to be 2 hour long Marvel cinematics, but come on. Where are the 5, 10, 30, 60 minute movies of stories in Eve? I donāt mean the Scope either using 80% in game footage with overlays. There are tonnes of lore, from the small to the large. Why not show a day in the life of a station habitat scavenger? A pirates day of barely getting by? A day in the life in the grand palaces of Amarr? The rise and struggle of the Caldari state? The aftermath of Caldari Primeās citizens with the fall of the Shiigeru? So many more, just not involving capsuleers - or maybe even show events from the planet that seem mundane. There are soooooooooooooooooooooo many opportunities, and like with Disney, they have asked artists to contribute. Could you imagine giving Ā£5k or Ā£40k to an artist and saying āHey, make us a story based around this gameā. Obviously theyād have to know the game, but Ā£5k versus Ā£500k a year for a studio over many years? An artist would jump at the chance tocome known. Seems like a no brainer, and a win win for everyone
Games
Okay. What in the Shiigeru is going on CCP? Whereās Dust 514? More specifically - why on Godās grey Caldari Prime have you not put this game on PC. Whereās the sense? I donāt genuinely get it. Thereās so much opportunity to make money here as well:
ā¢Port Dust 514 to PC
ā¢Fix any bugs, glitches that come with it
ā¢Release game
ā¢Make it F2P, but linked to your Eve Online account. If it has Omega, so does your Dust 514 account, give Omega players bonuses like different weapons like some games. Not very OP, but just unique for certain playstyles
ā¢No Eve Online? Still offer premium services anyway. If World of Warships can do it, CCP can do it for Dust 514 and Eve Online
ā¢What about the spinoff games? What the heck? Racing, Drone Fighting, FPS games. Imagine a murder mystery in Jita Station, the most popular station ever. Thatād be wack, but also interesting, or you are on a Nyx mothership and having to board an Avatar titan and fight your way through and claim the ship. That in itself could be a game with the scale of it! What if it was like Dead Space and an infection got on board a freighter? So so so so so many possible spinoffs on just little things. Racing planet side, in space, through stations and through moons. There are literally thousands of planets, let alone hundreds of set pieces per system.
Music
I know thereās plenty of music already. Why not make songs regarding great stories in Eve? Imagine Sabaton, but for the Eve universe. Mate, thatād be sick. A new song per epic war would be so inspiring. Again, you could pay some artists to come up with this, you donāt have to do it yourselves.
Books
Iām told there were books. Were. We need more fam. There are possibly tens of thousands of books you could make. What about the slave that became a general? The typical doings of an Amarr accountant whoās life was turned around when he became involved with doing the math for some dunce in the Guristas? So so so so so so so many opportunities.
Animations
Kinda fits under movies but, these are probably more appropriate for shorts. Iād say these are great for 30 second up to 10 minutes, which could just feature short stories or random happenings.
Toys
I know you guys have done merch before, but I think if you made some cheaper versions that could be sold in stores, youād make a good chunk of money. Especially as people can now play the game for free completely and use Omega for other things, youād definitely attract attention.
If you like CCP you can just make me CEO and Iāll fix all your problems lol.
Random ideas for stories/movies/games:
Being a citizen on a keepstar while itās under attack by Goonswarm (if theyāre still around idk)
Murder mystery on Jita
Invasion of a titan
Ground racing game like an Eve mario kart, featuring hovering and wheeled vehicles over various terrain (city, outlands, wastelands, moons, etc)
Tower defence game
RPG/Single-player campaign game like the Star Wars battlefront series (new or old, take your pick)
RTS game based on factions and what their ground units might look like (think Supreme Commander)
Fighting to save Shiigeru then escaping death on Caldari Primeā¦or not?
A slaves rise to power
A generals fall to piracy
Exploring ancient histories
City/fleet simulator (imagine Cities: Skylines but playing as different factions and trying to maintain cities, stations, armies, citizens, supplies, manufacturing, etc with Caldari, Gallente, etc as themed factions and their own challenges and needs
Factory simulator
Fighting in or against a rebellion
Zombie/Infection survivalā¦station, ship? Imagine Left 4 Dead in the theme of Eve Online. Imagine surviving being in a Raven, a Rokh, a Keepstar, an Avatar, a Wyvern, fighting for your survival, with a massive range of tools and weapons. Thatād be pretty sick.
See how many ideas there are? The list keeps coming. I used a random game idea generator for a couple of these but most were just off the top of my head. There is a massive potential for an Eve Universe set. Maybe not everyone will play Eve Online, but you can certainly spread your wings and provide better income. If you attach some of these to Eve Online itself, it will help support player numbers in some cases. You wanted Dust 514 to affect Eve Online and vice versa - why not help players that donāt want to play an MMO and would happily play an FPS? Make it so they earn 4x the XP for unlocks or something, or even earn PLEX if they get involved in player actions and choose a side, a bonus if they help win the battle.
There are so many opportunities and it actually is so painful not seeing any of this happening, except just limiting yourselves.
Why was there a massive amount around 2010-2014 versus after? Was it because the games you brought out were left alone to die? What happened to Eve Valkyrie?
I need answers, and Iām really upset that not more has been done. I have kept up to date with The Scope over the years but more definitely could be done.

Sheeshā¦I just flew 250m worth of ammo and stuff through Dodixie. I must be doing something wrong for those gankers not to pay me any attention.
Nice write up, imo youāre 100% correctā¦
Also, welcome back to Eveā¦

If by āgolden ageā you mean more players. The only answer is BIG change. All MMOs go though a cycle and eventually plateau at a committed player base. EVE being a complex and difficult game means the plateau is lower than other more popular games. Having said that, 20 to 25k logged in whenever I log on seems pretty healthy for a 20 year old game. I have to guess the game is at least breaking even if not profitable so the long term future seems pretty secure.
As for the a new āgolden ageā. I see 3 options.
-
CCP reworks and updates the game and come out with an EVE 2. That would stir the required attention to get other players interested again.
-
CCP creates another server that has a different universe and slight tweaks to the game play to keep it fresh. Then the PR dept. can run a āfor the first time in 20 years, explore unknown spaceā campaign. That would probably do the trick.
-
Have a cataclysmic event occur where most of the known universe is destroyed and occupied. Hence a completed rebuild would be required. Iām sure this would cause a lot of veteran tears but Iām willing to guess they are more tasty than noob tears.
Having said all that, EVE is stable and doing just fine the way it is imho. Some things are just too complex and difficult for the masses. So having a solvent, stable game 20 years on is quite an accomplishment.
Yeah, that worked out really well for World of Warcraft.

It was also written that warp core stab, was illegal to use but we found then using then on cats to travel because we kept pulling them out of fleet.
Good times and hypocritical times.
But on topic fix wars and make them have meaning
The players lost nothing. Blizzard just freshened up the map.
This does not apply to New Order Enforcement Agents.
You though, @Githany_Red of the NEPF, your punishment for false accusations of hypocrisy is to become a miner-bumper. You must continue to bump miners for an indefinite period of time, after which you will become my pet doggy whom I shall call SPOT.

I honestly wish times like this I could just smack someone and ask, āWhat are you doing?ā and show them this post.

Never really bumped miners, bumped a few freighters away from gank fleet balls, thatās funny to watch the gankers all die together alone. Some times they try to follow their speeding target for a bit,
What do you think would bring eve into a new golden age
Personally I think CCP should have all Devās create a new character and play it for a few weeks (without any Dev hacks) before they submit any ideas for changing, updating or adding game content.
As for CCP themselves:
- Hire competent qualified programmers.
- Focus Dev work on removing / fixing all bug issues.
- Complete / finish and or update all current in-game content.
- Run all changes / new content on test server first before implementing it in-game.

Had been thinking about sacrifice and using pilots ability to capture the jetcan to rake it away from the crime scene to hopefully another pilot with fast warp and cargo space to steal from the gankers.
we do not have 21k players.
we have, at most 10k- and even that is seriously questionable.
For example- I have 8 accounts.
Every person I know in game have more then one.
There are 21k of accounts daily, not players.
For another example- I opened more then 40 accounts in my time.
And that is the reason CCP can say that they have āhuge amountā of players each year.
So no, we do not have 21k of players.
