Originally posted by Plagueshot So I am a little confused. When I first read the article awhile back I had the impression they would be making a new server which was really exciting for me as the biggest thing keeping me from the game is the fact that you can never catch up to someone who has been playing for a long time, but after reading it again it seem like they are just adding more servers to support the increasing number of players on their one shard or server cluster whatever you want to call it. I enjoyed the game on the trial but like I said what kept me from subscribing was the fact that I could never catch up to long time subscribers. If they opened a new server (shard whatever) I would subscribe the second it opened.
Honestly you would fall behind just as quickly, because total SP means sweet F**k All when it comes right down to it. You would be saving up to buy your first cruiser while organized groups of players are already producing battleships and establishing thier bases in 0.0.
The only thing holding you back from succeding on the main server is your attitude. It has been demonstrated a million times that you don't NEED to catch up to vets to succeed in the game. Hell 75% of the population has less than 15 million SP, that's just over a year of training and once you have gotten to that point you will have maxed out one skill tree and will be free to start working on another one to diversify your skills..

i also am confused. could someone that believes the above explain it to me please? how EXACTLY is it that you feel that if you made a toon, that you could never catch up (i.e. be competitive) against toons that are two years old?
i mean, throw me some numbers/figures/skills/whatever that shows you've thought it out and not just shrugged your shoulders because you imagined something.
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?
To the folks who are wandering about why you can't get out of pods or ships and wander around, I'm a little put off by that as well, but if you check out the blogs, it looks to me as if they're actually planning on doing something like that really. It's going to be in a long while really, but they've said that they'll allow you to go on the planet with your ship, I think they're being a bit tight lipped about it though because it's only concept, but it still makes me wander about the reason they're upgrading the game engine's graphics in the first place these guys really seem to know what they're doing, and they're getting a loyal player base (including myself) Just give it time and i'm sure things will work out, they're listening to player's and talking with them too.
Quoting people doesn't make you clever, in fact, it makes you all the more stupid for not bothering to read the quotes you post in the first place.
