CCP 1: "Guys, 'Dust' is a boring title. We need some arbitrary numbers to give it mystery and meaningless complexity."
CCP 2: *walks in* "Hey guys, when's Uprising gonna launch? I forgot."
CCP 1: "That's a great idea, you're getting a promotion!"
See, I think it goes deeper than that. Especially since 514 was there long before the official release. Someday the devs will enlighten us.

ok. so I haven't bothered with Dust 514 for a long time, (and only messed around here and there after the rouge wedding), but I used to be on a lot on my main account and all the numerous alts I made (although, now, this is my main account). For awhile I even ran a "lore" survey team corporation. btw, most of our findings were deleted, thrown away, or we just stopped caring.
Dust 514 had a couple of uses. Several were just slang or codes the development team used (and most will remain in obscurity forever unless a dev bothers to respond).
It was also used as a promotional event, as the official release of Dust 514. Also, and I'm not going to bother looking up the dates, but if memory serves, it also had something to do with the release of the ill-fated Legion.
Story-wise, and it's been so long since I've destroyed my notes, so sorry if I can't remember the proper names, But!!!
the races (I think the Amarr did it first) figured out how to make clones using alien technology that they found from a highly advanced race of beings they called the sleepers. The sleepers had given up their physical life and entered a different form of existence (can't remember if it was something spiritual or some sort of VR world).
What we were doing was harvesting their body for an implant that existed inside their brain. This implant allowed the use of our minds to travel large distances in an instant, making clones possible. That's why, when you die, you instantly "wake" up in your new body. Some theories point to 514 being a reference to this implant.
Anyways, without meaning to, we were actually doing mass genocide to the sleepers. But also, we had inadvertently opened ourselves up to the "one" (lol. I don't know what it was called, but I'm just going to call it the "one" because it is spoopy).
This being might have been a sleeper at one point. Or it could have been created in the alternate world. Or have been something else entirely. But it could body hop and take control of people who had this implant, and it was the enemy (satan?) of the sleepers.
The Templars were created and they were the first clones. Everything was going well, until the "one" decided to exert control over some of them. The sudden "psychic" backlash the clones had resulted in them going mad, killing everyone around them, and scrawling "514" in blood on walls and stuff and then they either killed themselves or were killed. The 514 was the Templars trying to warn everyone what they had just experienced, but having gone crazy, it was the best they could do.
Lots of theories on what 514 actually means. (also some nice biblical verses coincide with it) but generally the survey team came to the conclusion that the 5 meant something to do with the implant/ or the sleepers, the 1 was the being, and the 4 were the four remaining races that were in danger now, because we opened pandora's box.
Then the game happened, the Empress cloned herself, got possessed, and Legion was supposed to take off with (possibly referencing the One, now exerting control, and essentially making itself "legion").

I always liked to believe it related to two primary lore points. The first is a verse from The Book of Mission which goes like this....
Which test reveals more of the soul - the test that a man will take to prove his faith. or the test that finds the man who believed his faith already proven? If you know this answer, then you also know which of these challenges bear the greatest penalty for failure, The gates of paradise will open for you one time only; woe to the soul who dares to knock twice.'
-Book of Missions, 5:14, The Scriptures
As a reference to the perceived sin of Immortality amongst the Amarr as well as a nod to the 51st Exploration Corps of the Amarr Empire who discovered the first of these implants in ruins in orbit of the Ni Kanno homeworld of Mishi IV.

it's also that too. lol.
tbh, and my personal opinion too, I think the Developers thought 514 sounded cool, and had a few interesting coincidences that already existed in-game, such as the Amarr verse (and a few bliblical verses as well) and decided to run with it.
Everything after that was the developers trying to find more things to connect to the possible meaning of "514" in the event that any of the players cared. It would sort of become its own "meta game" with false trails, misinformation, coincidences, a spoopy story, and real world applications.
The problem with Dust 514 though, is it barely had any story in-game (although the Eve story itself is pretty big and deep), so most players didn't have a reason to invest time and effort into finding the "truth" behind the numbers.
and you're right, it is a sin to be cloned, which is why the Empress did it in secret (although it opened herself up in the process, making herself, arguably, the most dangerous being in the Eve universe)
when she was good, she was very good indeed,
but when she was bad she shot you in the face.

Copy and paste from an old thread I made about EVE Vegas:
"Now the other question-answer that every player wants to know; my question from the Lore Round Table:
Q. "After the party last night and especially after the Pub Crawl, I woke up in a strange room with '514' written on the walls in blood. Would you please tell us what the hell 514 means?"

Caldari heritage... Hmmm...
So backwards, 514 is 415. If we add it, it is 4 + 1 = 5. As in there were 4 races originally (Gallente, Minmatar, Amarr, and Jove), +1 race, the Caldari, stemming from the Gallente, making 5 races.
See? Not very interesting and has to do with Caldari heritage.

I was thinking the samething. 514 can't just be meaningless digits. Since digits are symbols of numeric values or have a nominal purpose. Maybe 514 means something to do with a time line or the the number of crew that worked on this game at it's first time launching. It can mean anything, the closest I can assume it has to do with the book called Templar One.

Actually they kind of did. Caldari Prime being as harsh as it was hadn't allowed the Caldari to progress to a respectable technological level. The Gallente you can argue shaped that modern Caldari through their inclusion in the Federation.

The closest thing you will ever find (as far as an explanation goes) is an old chronicle from 2013 about the Battle of Caldari Prime. The first generation clones were created using Sleeper implants, and quite a few were defective. Something would trigger the implants, and like a switch, the soldier using them would go insane and go on a mass killing spree disregarding whether they were allies or enemies. Eventually, they would all die permanently (either through self-inflicted wounds or by being shot by another) as they would not be able to transfer their consciousness to a new body. But before they died, they would write 514 with their blood. Clone soldiers who were triggered were described as "Going 514".
Or something like that.

This helps to explain why CCP blows. Some people feel guilty when they do you wrong, so tthey try to make up for it. CCP blows all of the players off (that spent so much money and time into a game that was supposed to be indefinite) and gives you nothing. I mean, what possible reason could they have for not telling us?? It isn't like they are going to keep the name.

Maybe they will still use the lore of it in Nova.

Foehammerr wrote:The closest thing you will ever find (as far as an explanation goes) is an old chronicle from 2013 about the Battle of Caldari Prime. The first generation clones were created using Sleeper implants, and quite a few were defective. Something would trigger the implants, and like a switch, the soldier using them would go insane and go on a mass killing spree disregarding whether they were allies or enemies. Eventually, they would all die permanently (either through self-inflicted wounds or by being shot by another) as they would not be able to transfer their consciousness to a new body. But before they died, they would write 514 with their blood. Clone soldiers who were triggered were described as "Going 514".
Or something like that.
The message likely comes from the sleepers who had these implants, or at least the core of the tech for them. They probably still had their consciousness within and suppressed going mad after being ripped from their simulation universes. I think they were breaking free and taking control of the clone bodies.
The new tech that is based on the original tech is safe because it doesn't harbor original sleepers still trapped within. The only question remaining is "what were the sleepers trying to say?" Within their simulation universes they were like gods running experiments over eons. What did they learn and what were they trying to say? |

It seems as if 514 was only added to give flare to the game title.
Because who would want to play a game called "Dust"?..... |

As I understand it the truth is both so spectacular and equally mundane that it can only be shared with those equipped with neural implants capable of consciousness transfer at the moment of death, who also happen to have their own cloning facilities, as to negate the risk of blowing their mind.
Either, you're saying it's so incredibly bland that it will bore us to death, or you don't actually have a "meaning" for it and just made up the saying.
My jeans are 514.

Iv reach the point where I'm assuming 514 is just an in joke used to troll the communty and does not actually mean anything at all.
Which given the original development teams attudude towords thr communty makes sense. All talk and no payoff :p

You do know that being instantaneously vaporized means its at the same time as death so before something would be able to transmit, therefore it would stand to reason that the clones and the implants are being remote controlled via a (consciousness, living matrix), this would insure true deity god like powers over death. Nothing like overriding the living mind with another  Blah eve lore

Its about as mysterious as you spending time trolling us instead of staying in those empty Valkyrie forums.
Its embarrassing.

Seriously, it clearly doesn't mean anything at all. Otherwise someone would be able to say something about it by this point.

I made a post ages and ages ago that was never confirmed nor denied, so I think it might be right.
To summarize, In Chinese numbers have symbolic meanings, and when we look at 514 we can get a couple different things out of it that fit Dust 514's lore pretty well.
My personal favorite of the guesses is that 514 is a homophone in Chinese that sounds like 'I Will Die' or 'I Am Dying.'
Also, you could get 'blessings create death or great misfortune' from the individual numbers themselves.
Taken as 51-4, because 51 symbolizes desire and wanting, it may be seen as 'I want death'.
And as 14 symbolizes guaranteed death, so you may see it as 'blessings guarantee death'.
There ya go guys. Enjoy the actual meaning of 514.
