EVE General Discussion

"Oh god, when Eve gets too popular it's going to die."

How ******* dumb are you? Seriously...

It is easier to build defend and destroy castles with friend.
It is natural state of being in a sandbox

Yes, because hopefully there'll be more people out & about in certain parts of 0.0 Dont like the increased competition in hi-sec? Well you'll just have to move out of hi-sec, or live with it.

Plus, if they have that many subscriptions, then thats quite a nice bit of revenue going in to CCP, and so hopefully we'll see some expansion on the universe by that point Remember theres all of the wormhole systems already that are not on the 'map' that can be populated more as well.

Good point about the wormholes.

To reach 100.000 active players every day CCP probably have to invest a lot money for commercial and promotion EvE on TV and some big internet portals, like top games portals and information portals like BBC, CNN etc where a lot people visits popular sites, twiter facebook etc

Eve is unique is game for long therm gaming, here almost no place for casuals, eve is 9 year old, meny people dont like start in (old online game) for multiple reasons. Maybe after dust relase console comunity want try EvE and see ( other side of dust) here probably large number of new potential EvE subscibers

I believe I read somewhere that EVE Online has roughly 400 subscribed players (that is players, not including alts). This would roughly translate to approximately 10% of the player base being online at any given time (server Pop average about 40k).

For EVE to have 100k server population, on average, they would need to have at least 1 million subscribers! That just sin't going to happen, and that is a damned good thing.

This will cause some to scratch their heads and say "wtf are you smoking" ... get rid of gates and change travel mechanics, seriously. More people can run around out in null and low sec more easily. Would also help reduce large sov holders being able to control vast areas they don't use.

Also make better use of existing space, there's tons of empty space never used for anything. Also, make use of some of the space further from the star. It is a huge area, all kinds of room for content.

There is nothing wrong with being a solo player or a lone wolf.

But there is something wrong with being irritated that you cannot have a whole system to yourself or that the number of players online when you log in is at a certain level. You have a weird stereotype of a corporation that was probably told to you by some losers in an NPC corp. They. Are. All. Wrong. Corps in EVE do not tell you what to do. They don't tell you what to train. They don't force you to camp a gate or mine veldspar. They talk to you and see if what you do matches what they do and you join up. What you like to do is what they like to do and by doing that in a group you get to have fun and the corp will provide you with many benefits that you will not be able to achieve solo. Most of the time in a corp you are free to do whatever you want solo and no one gives a &$%*.

Eve was fine at 5k players, was fine at 15k players, is now fine at 50k players and will be perfectly fine at 100k players.

See, like is said in my first post, most people in EVE are quite friendly.
This was exactly the kind of discussion i was aiming for.

More nullsec would indeed be nice, provided that the established alliances that already own large portions of nullsec now, don't get the chance to take the new area's with to much ease.
I think that, by increasing the number of alliances fighting over sovereignty in more pieces of nullsec, will ultimately result in a much more vivid experience and for a lot more players.

The idea to put highsec regions right smack in the middle of a patch of nullsec systems, is also quite amazing, don't know why yet, but i just like it somehow.

Also very happy to see that I'm not one of the very few who prefers to do things solo.

btw, i said the thing about more people in "my" system, to get a general idea of growth, cause if it would keep up at this rate ( and i know it won't, but hypothetically ), the system that i call home, would be inhabited by 2000 people in 3 years time ( and yes i am exaggerating here, but you get the idea ).

Cheers,

Mark

I went down to the monolith to make a wallpaper and passed through a **** load of empty systems.
