Guys,

Simple argument really, I checked online numbers for the past 5 years. Its clear that amount of players is no longer growing and even showed slight decline in 2014-2015 compared to previous periods.

So, certainly EVE is not dying, but judging by those, its confusing really, WHAT IS going on with eve?

Arrow Its just stuck at current "level" and stagnating?

Arrow It really is dying?

Arrow Its actually growing, but older players keep playing subscription but no longer play actively, whereas new players DO play, so thats why we have pretty constant online?

Arrow Technological limitation prohibit having higher online numbers?

Question Perhaps we can have a word from CCP economist? What are his thoghts on the matter?

And what are your thoughts - I'm asking ALL - NOOBs Bear, newbies, seasoned players, veterans, LEET guys - whats your opinion on the matter?

Trolls please do join conversation Lol - your opinion is still an opinion. Perhaps we'll find out that EVE turned into huge troll condominium, which will be a finding as well.

But really, I would really very much would like to get some idea where EVE is moving, and whats the current state of EVE. Whats happening with the one of the (if not the most) unique online games in the world?

Quite right.

Thread locked.

The Rules:
5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.


32. Rumor mongering is prohibited.

Rumor threads and posts which are based off no actual solid information and are designed to either troll or annoy other users will be locked and removed. These kinds of threads and posts are detrimental to the well being and spirit of the EVE Online Community, and can create undue panic among forum users, as well as adding to the workload of our moderators.
