Rolling a wormhole is the act of intentionally collapsing a wormhole.
Rolling a wormhole is the act of intentionally collapsing a wormhole. This is done by sending large amounts of mass (in the form of either multiple Battleships with Higgs Anchor Rigs; Cruisers, Heavy Interdiction Cruisers, or Industrial ships with 100MN afterburners; or capital ships) through the wormhole.


Static wormholes are often rolled in the hope that the wormhole replaces it is "better". What does better mean? It depends. It may be that the previous wormhole was "EOL" (End of Life) or "crit" (critical) and you are looking for a new wormhole that you can safely move ships through without getting stuck on the other side. It could be that you're looking for a K-space connection that is closer to a particular system. Or maybe you're just looking for a wormhole with a higher chance of PvP or PvE. Continuously rolling a wormhole to find one that matches certain criteria is known as "Rage Rolling".

Dynamic wormholes are usually rolled because you just want it gone. Usually this is because you are worried about what is on the other side. But sometimes you may want to trap someone inside. Maybe some fool just jumped a nice ship into your system and you want to cut him them off from backup or keep them from escaping.

Either way just treat it as an "Unwanted Wormhole" and proceed acordingly.
