EVE Online

I don't mean this as a flame, but anyone who thinks EvE will work without PvP haven't a single [i]clue[/i] what the game is about.

Mining is PvP, the market is PvP.  Everything apart from missions & ratting is PvP & who can honestly say that's what they want to do all day, every day?

Another server would destroy a core and vital component to EVE, the unity of the player base and the experiences that go with that (namely, everyone is on the same page in player news and actions). Separate that, and the achievements of the players are reduced.

Also, and I'm speaking as a player that is more industrial in character. A player must come in here with the acceptance that they may lose their ship.

It's happen to me before, and I've gotten upset, but usually, I learn from my mistakes and repeats of that mistake are quite rate.

This game, it require a hardier gamer than most, a gamer that can accept mistakes and the losses that ocme with it and grow from the experience.

It is harsh sometimes, but the rewards of victory are all the sweeter as a consequence.

Eve with out PvP could work but it'd be rubbish.  It'd be a lot like most of the other 1/2 rate Sci-fi MMORPG's if it did.  The forced PvP is what makes Eve almost like a world unto it's self, anything goes and anything can happen.  It's this immersive experience that make the game what it is.  If you don’t like PvP then don't play Eve as it makes up a large section of the game, as with all the good MMORPGs. I can’t see why so many of you people don’t like PvP. PvE in eve sucks big time if you ask me but it still better than some PvE in some area’s.

The carebear attitudes of people in Eve are great; with out you guys we wouldn’t have the diverse world that makes Eve, Eve. If we all went around ganking, pirating and genially role playing an evil psychotic murderer the game would suck. It’s the balance of both ganking pirates and carebear rainbow lovers that make Eve an even more life like experience, as it clearly shows the portrayal of our democratic society and views with in this futuristic fantasy world. Except it being a land of make believe it means we can be meaner, more mercenary, we can make believe at being our very own Eve Vader, or make believe at being our own Han Solo, or even Princess Lair! Good, bad, ugle...umm I mean neutral. 

With out PvP Eve would lose this dynamic and the game would slow down get very boring very fast and die out a long and slow death. Add to that the community is too small to try and divide up and you’d just be killing a game with a lame attempt at trying to make it more…something I’m not sure because making something worse seems to me to be madness and that’s what a pure PvE server would do to this game, kill it off slowly. We as human being thrive off of conflict weather we are the ones coursing it or the ones reacting to it; tying to show people how wrong or insane it is. This aspect of human nature is reflected in Eve and that in its self just show how great a game it truly is, with Both carebears, gankers and all the in-betweens.

yes i am for pve server

nope

That is completely insane. Eve is a massive environment that relies on low security space. If you don't want to fight be carefull and stay in high sec space. There is more in high sec than you can see in years, believe me. But trust me, you are gonna wanna try it  out and mix it up sooner than later and faction warfare has made PvP accessible to even the newest players.

If you want a game you can wrap your brain around not some idiotic grinding garbage give EvE a try. 

would it get space dragons to fight against the space whales?
