LEAKED: EVE Online to Open 'Fresh Start' Server

Big news for the popular MMO EVE Online. After nearly twelve years, the game may be finally opening a new server. Below is a photo that has purportedly been leaked from CCP Games in Reykjavik.

Leaked photo from "Project Renaissance" meeting

Dubbed "The Renaissance Project," a newly leaked photo shows that in fact CCP will be opening a new server where all players will have to start from scratch. The photo, obtained by GCD News, shows what appears to be a slide from a meeting at CCP Games never meant for the public's eyes describing the new server initiative.

Reasons for the decision appear to benefit newer players of the game who feel burdened by the overwhelming skill point and ISK gap faced from EVE veterans. The good news from the leak is that all current subscribers will have access to this new server. It is speculated that players will be able to train skills on one character on both the Tranquility and Renaissance servers, allowing long time EVE players to try the Renaissance server as well.

Since there has yet to be any formal announcement, the new server mostly likely open no sooner than Q1 2016.
