The SF-MMO EVE Online plays with the idea of making it easier for beginners to start.
As PcGamesN reports, CCP, the developers behind the complex SF-MMO EVE Online, are considering easing the “new player experience” by providing some more skill capital. Nothing has been decided yet, but at CCP they tend to grant new players some skill points: one or two million feels just right. Two million skill points correspond to roughly what a player could accumulate in one or two months of playtime, it is further stated.
On reddit, the community is discussing the pros and cons. While some oppose the “this has always been the case and has always worked” method, others advocate for such a starting bonus. After all, with each passing year, the advantage of veterans becomes even greater. An EVE veteran wouldn’t be impressed by 1 or 2 million skill points anyway.
EVE Online is currently facing some upheavals. The AEGIS update will be released in two parts. In particular, AEGIS 2, which will be significant on July 14, will see changes to the Sovereignty system implemented.
