History Isn't Done With You Yet
I'm just reading the latest issue of EON (number 20) and was just thinking to myself what a great community we have in Eve Online. Despite many ups and down we have a large number of Pilots who have grasped fully the ethos behind Eve Online and really shaken New Eden by the shoulders and screamed “Look at me!”.
A point that is sometimes missed is that Pilots are supreme beings amongst humanity. As Zapatero points out, from a sea of billions only 300,000 or so are chosen to be Pod Pilots. Think of it in those terms and a sense of perspective starts to dawn on you.
He mentions in EON 020 about the hope of a crew being introduced into Eve and also better use of the human resource in Planetary Interaction, These are great ideas and something I would like to see too, perhaps DUST514 will be the answer here or are we maybe hoping for too much? You may find out in EON 020 where this is discussed!
Regardless of that, even at the more basic player level as a member of a small corp or even playing by yourself you still have the potential to be so much more. There is nothing to stop you from doing what others have done already with your own twist. You could be the new Molle or the new Dianabolic who are both mentioned in EON 020. You don't necessarily have to be better, just confident enough to try.
Why do we need to settle in stagnation when we are all powerful? What is to stop you from achieving these aims? What measures are put in place by CCP to prevent you from being a New Eden Celebrity? Absolutely none.
The only thing that prevents you from achieving your potential is you. So go out there and be you. Make a website, start creating social events, launch a new channel catering to segments of the community, start a new competition theme. Do anything. Whatever you do though, don't fade away. That is not what New Eden needs right now. It needs you. After all, history is still being written.
