We know what Dust means, we don't know what 514 means. We know in the lore that 514 came from the first generation of immortal soldiers that straight up used the Sleeper implants, eventually driven insane and writing 514 on the walls with blood. People hypothesized that the Sleeper conscious was still intact with the implant, so there were two consciousnesses competing for the single body. Or perhaps the Sleepers used the implants for an entirely different purpose. No clue as to what the numbers actually mean.

It should be DUST 3:19, then, methinks.

Eh who knows, could be something to do with jump coordinates? I have no idea how warps and FTL work in EVE though

They devs did make a pretty big push awhile ago to clarify that it is not "Five hundred fourteen" or "Five One Four" but actually "Five Fourteen."

Its the birthday of the CEO of CCP.

prize pls

What a Debbie Downer

Supposedly one EvE player has managed to figure it out but was forced into secrecy. Unless it gets figured out by the community at large then we may never know. Best bet would be to look through Chronicles and the books.

Since CCP Logibro got hired, I might be the only one outside of CCP who knows.

I wouldn't quality for any such prize though, because I cheated to find out.

No spoilers!

My only advice is that you've gotta be pretty damn handsome and know who to flirt with

Has anyone else entertained the idea that DUST may, in fact, be an acronym?

Just a thought: D____ U____ Sleeper Technology? Or something similar?

Seriously this is a thread?

Dust was released on May 14

5/14

514

A dur, I thought everyone knew this

EDIT* Linky

From the other speculation thread:

If you wanna go the Christianity route Mark 5:1-4.
Talks about the demon possesed man who could not be contained or stopped.

it has to be a bible reference

There are 5 changes to the controls listed for patch 1.4.

MYSTERY SOLVED

The only reason I can come to such a conclusion is that there is an officier among the Sleeper ranks that causes nothing but fear and dread; and unboundable , unstoppable man hell-bent on destruction. Perhaps he's been slighted in his past review, maybe he himself has witnessed the fall of the Sleeper race, slowly and painfully watching his entire family, his entire people, his entire lineage vanish into the vast empty dark that is the unfeeling space. In the effort to protect his people, he volunteered to be the guardian ai, watching those who still have survived the madness, who linger in stasis with the faint hope of finding a cure. You can only remain sane for so many years before the isolation breaks you, until the madness seeps into every fiber of your being. And since it's transferred into everything you have grasp on, even the dead pilot sitting in his craft in an entry hanger isn't escapeable from your reach. Hidden deep within the neuro implant used to relay info through out the dead empire you wait, until you're thrown into a fresh body, able to move, to feel, to react. And then, is when you strike, swallowing unknown fools consciousness left and right. The only thing they can do, is scrawl a message, a code hidden long in their own minds, warning the others that you are no longer dormant.

... the Sleepers have awakened.


Of course thus is all speculating that The bible holds the meaning to 514.
And I've been drinking. Fun story tho!

Anyone else?

Bit of a shot in the dark, but would it have anything to do with the recombernation of genetic material? I.e.

DNA repair protein RAD51 homolog 4

That would at least explain the double helix we see in our rooms all the time. Have a look and see what you think!

I'm going to guess its part of Ephesians 5:14.

GÇ£Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead..."

Unlikely but hey.......

This is my guess...

Didn't read the entire thread. Simply wondering if anyone brought this up yet.

So the Sleepers are early Jove, Architect faction. On top of that they are cloned. Now the Jove disease is caused evidently by errors in their code from the thousands upon thousands of years of genetic manipulation.

https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Jovian_Disease

Unfortunately, I don't see it. Since the Jovian Disease appears to be mental and not related to tumors, or the organs that the protein in part has a hand in. It'd have to be something in the brain.

What date was dust released? Enjoy.

No seriously the devs even stated it, sorry to **** on this massive bonfire lol.

I'm not digging through dev blogs, but this is very old and confirmed.

Anybody with a EVE character want to go and have a look at this here moon?

I think it's because the coordinates for the place they found the implants that make us immortal was 5,1,4

But that's just a random guess

Wow great signature. very deep. I love it. because well I would accept my thoughts as reality. thanks.
entertain is the name.

back on track: why 5 1 4?

one of CCP's cats ran across the keyboard and BAM
