Edited by: Grim on 15/05/2004 16:23:34 I'm not sure the purpose of this post, i just wanted to write something.
It seems that people who started from day one are neglected. Yeah, ok so we have 9Million plus skill points and a battleship but. Noobs nowadays (god i feel old) get so much support and even get tutorials. After all, we had to wait 4 months (thats a guess) for implants and the like.
Its all well and good getting new players into the game but surely there must be some incetive to keep old players as well.
What are others feelings about this? I've submitted a idea in the idea forum for a few things but no result as of yet.

This game is already difficult to learn if ur a noob, noobs = CCP profit. CCP wants them to stay, so they make everything easy to learn as possible and make it the most interesting game they have ever seen so they will stay. We are at the top of the chain, we know how to play, we know what to do, we know alot. ---

I think alot of us would like to see some reward once we get to 1 year of from eve or something along the lines... My main account/Character has been around since 6 June (took a while to get the game) and it would be nice to see something only old players get on the 6th June in my hanger.

Only old players get 9 million-plus skillpoints.

good idea, one year old get a free makeover done on their main.
I wonder if they'd consider giving them a new name and erasing their corp history too Not that I'd want to but some of us must by now feel like starting a new char to get rid of their history... _______________________________________________

I'd like to grow some hair, maybe a nice quiff or perhaps a mullet.
Oooo! And instead of this nasty armour perhaps a slinky over the shoulder number would look nice. Something in purple perhaps....

It's nice that CCP is attracting new customers, but if it they don't smarten up, they're going to lose the people who have been around 1 year and are getting sick of playing.

My suggestion, which is absolute genius and should be obeyed immediately:
Annual stat resets.
I know that my main character has a pretty stupid statpoint spread. I'd like to redistribute it to give myself more perception and willpower. How about letting people move their statpoints around once a year?

Wish i was old, i've only been here a little while since u could download it coz it wasn't available here.
It would be nice if those older players got something simple but unique to celebrate 1 year anniversaries and such, i mean hey u guys celebrated it on the main page, why can't the players seeings as they've been here from the beginning too.

Not that I think that gifts are needed. I mean EVE itself is a gift big enough to last several years for me :)
anyway...

I would like some cosmetic changes, finaly finish my turn to the camera, some grey strands in my hair. But a simple change in my char pict would result in everybody who has my picture rendered ingam to have that image replaced aswell.
As for the get rid of you history. Already lost mine, due to some unrecoverable data loss somewhere along the road as the support responce stated.

Orriginally, WAY back (some of you old timers might even recall this), CCP spread around the rumor/promise that as characters grew in skill points/age whatever, they would get access to things that would alter thier portrait.
For example, for a fee (they used to say) you could alter your portrait.
After a certain level, you would get new options for customization to use with that portrait alteration.
Including, but not limited too: Implants, new hair styles, special background portraits, jewelry, tatoos, and a host of other things.
Considering however that the portrait is one of the more useless peices of EVE ATM, it's understandably something thats low on the priority list.
I doubt I would qualify for any special treatment from EVE/CCP myself since I quit for 5 months and just got back recently...
But if I did, I would probably want something more or less honorary... I don't need ISK or modules...
But something that lets other players know I'm an old fart, and know my way around EVE pretty damn well even despite my 5 month hiatus.
But really it's a tricky question of how I would exactlty want that to be displayed.
and leads me again back to the portrait... But I don't really think thats needed...
Though to be totaly honest I would like to change my portrait a bit... I made myself look altogether too friendly and innocent... Good for selling things, but oh well, can't win em all.
Maybe though, old players should get an improved chance at getting involved in new content/GM events?
Oh well, Who knows... I wouldn't say we're really being ignored...
Remember the majority of the coolest new content will be designed with us in mind.
I can't think of a single noob who will be able to buy a interceptor after a few weeks without a major gift/donation, let alone a station

E&B had such feature implemented at one point. The "Home Stations" gotten 2 terminals to change character and ship appearance for an ingame credit fee (limited choice though). Prolly could work for Eve as well.

ditto all this...
Game-wise i'd like to see some more high-level content...
Veteran wise, it'd be nice to have some way to say "Yeah, I was here since 9am on day 1" and for people to actually believe me... even if it is a little medal or something

Edited by: Buggs on 16/05/2004 11:35:21 Think they should do something in the form of a chevron or a stripe (whatever) in the corner of your photo for evey 6 months or year, which you have the option of turning on or off.
