Im betting a Jovian Region. There's like enough stars for 3 out there (may explain why genolution is selling and buying and of course allow the immortal soldiers to mass exodus into that space since none of the four empires want us.)

Well they did say this next expansion is going to be like apothrica in how its going to add content for everyone.

An Amarr region, then?

Additionally, the soldier swill be segregated from the general population on colony worlds where they will receive treatment from the best doctors and scientists of the Empire, while being allowed to pursue worthwhile work on behalf of the Empire. He stated, GÇ£Those who are willingly Reclaimed shall not be slaves. We will allow them to live freely within their colonies, alongside their caretakers.GÇ¥

So another possibility is all of this Civil war results in a lot less High Sec space...

My bet is Metropolis given the info we've received from the Dev post.

Everyshore has 11 planets.

CCP can easily create another off limits region. Or a wormhole sector without wormholes.

Black Rise is a frontier region of the Caldari State, and the latest area of space to be colonized by them. Previously, the region was classed as an inexplicable black void, believed to be without mass or dimension. There were attempts by both the Federation and the Caldari during the Gallente-Caldari War to establish travel routes through Black Rise to try and outflank their foe, but all such endeavours failed. Ignored for the most part, it was only recently colonized in secret by a coalition of like-minded Caldari megacorporations, despite the poorly-misunderstood stellar phenomena that plague the somewhat unexplored region. In YC 110, the eruption of the Empyrean War forced the State to reveal the region to CONCORD, and wartorn Black Rise is now a key front between Federation and Caldari forces.

I've highlighted the important bits

If you'll check Dotlan, neither of the two faction warfare fronts have any Genesis systems in them.

filtered for region for your convenience

Being minmatar, I just naturally assumed that one of the two minmatar regions in the warzone would have the "first region" for Districts. Metropolis has more space in the warzone than Heimatar so it would make sense to me that of the two, Metropolis would be more likely.

Ooooooo whats this.... a thread of people attempting to figure out what the first region will be! :D

I will save you some effort, because I am a nice guy and all, no planets outside the FW regions even have districts on them, so no need to go looking. :P

And now, time to wander off into the sunset!

I saw noticed this after exploring a few regions. -_-

You couldn't make it easy on us could you?

Considering this:

Empress Jamyl I announces Empire intent to welcome clone soldiers with open arms

My guess is now Amarr low-sec and most likely Aridia. The Amarr can go kitten themselves if they think I'll move into their territory. My time will be spent in Devoid and The Bleak Lands saying hello with my mass driver.

Been focused on the dev blog feedback thread.

I can't imagine it being in any faction space because this would affect the standing of EvE ships supporting Planetary Conquest.

I also think the Amarr thing is a big red-herring to throw us off. It's just obvious that they don't care about our clones.

I think it'll be a case of us finding our own unoccupied/non-faction region and trying to forge our own clone empire.

Another Black Rise situation is possible but CCP have already done that, so maybe disinclined to repeat themselves.

It makes sense that this space will also need to be adjacent to a large area of nullsec, since the plan is eventually to expand PC into 0.0 space too.

Dibs on new region yet to be discovered. I called it first!

Lonetrek all the way. It's right next to the FW blackrise space and it has as ton of low sec systems and pockets.

Correct, we seeded the high sec planets with districts as well.

Been focused on the dev blog feedback thread.

Out of sheer curiosity if based on recent events why not something up in Caldari/Gallente space?

In Eve, whoever controls an outpost can set the name. Can we name districts? Forget districts 1 through 5. How about:
Freedom's Landing
Brown sinkhole of Kitten Doom
Cloneslayer Gulch
The Kingdom of Bob
and
This is Not the District You're Looking For!

What's the region where Naguton/Sahda is? Is that a FW region?
I approve of your selection based on where I started my eve career as a pirate.

Genesis is NOT a FW region. It is primarily controlled by CONCORD with a few random others including Interbus.

No, planetary conquest is a separate feature from factional warfare. We do have plans to completely change how FW battles are done, plans we will be talking about later but that will launch with planetary conquest.

To do orbital bombardment for factional warfare battles yes, you need to be in FW.

To do orbital bombardment for planetary conquest battles, that is corporations fighting to own districts, you need to be in the corporation or alliance.

My guess is still Aridia as the front runner, Molden Heath as a second and maybe Genesis due to its location and being somewhat neutral due to CONCORD.

In this thread, foxfour notes that they only have districts in FW regions; that's the hint I meant. They can change it, though.

1 low sec region that is not a FW region.

whats the over/under for dev trolling on this?

Now if we just could get into test server, that CCP uses, and see the population distribution in systems...

awesome.......so which is it

Genesis?
cus its where eve gate is...

Now if we just could get into test server, that CCP uses, and see the population distribution in systems...

was this on sisi?

have you verified that this is the only one with districts?

You know nothing says there is a max number of planets. I mean yes there is an upper number of districts and a min number of districts per planet , but nothing saying that all temperate planets that fit the criteria in the region will be used.

Why would this be a "Tyrannis" level screw up? Because the secret was leaked or because Molden Heath is a terrible region to do it in?

The fun thing about districts, changing which region is active is awesome easy. Takes one line to make active or deactive a region. Great for testing.

Entirely possible that they're running it on an internal server rather than holding it on Sisi. And just trolling on Sisi.

HA! My theory of it being in Jove space still holds up!

FW space has expanded on sisi?

Can you give more details on this please...

Changing which region is active is awesome easy eh? A friend of mine say's this about it.
"Yes, I'm aware that it's "Super easy" to change which region is active ... but all the other regions with Districts are Faction Warfare (on sisi, not TQ) so in order to switch the PC Region they would have to Build Districts (not super easy) in another Non FW Region before they made the switch."

basicly claiming you have not even bothered to build the districts anywhere else?
hurm i wonder.....
