It's actually quite relevant.

Compare the EvE Curve to the likes of Warhammer Online, Age of Conan, or Rift.

And this is relevent... Why?

Because, in case you have not been following this thread, I have heard a lot of "WAAAAAAAAAAAH EVE IS DYING"

I suspect you are confusing your avatars with their stance on this issue.

The point is....

EVE needs to grow and get extra subs cos other games have millions of subs....was claimed earlier in this thread


Followed by lots of stuff about how CCP are beholden to their investors who will have a shitfit if they do not exponentially grow....

So...the point my very confused friend, is that Eve, by comparison to pretty much every other MMO, is doing fine, and in fact is growing.

I'm not confuzuled. I know EVE is fine - I just have a really heavy hand with sarcasm.

Or maybe you're confused - This is my main, not someone's forum alt.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Oh well, I am a bear of very little brain, and confuzzled by many things, including whether I made a cappucino or hot chocolate just now.

Luckily, I only do market trading, what could go wrong...right? :p

I suppose... Except I don't give a rat's backside about whether or not other games are succeeding or failing.

According to the Forum Rules:

Quote:
2. Be respectful toward others at all times.

The purpose of the EVE Online forums is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, and a venue for the discussion of EVE Online. Occasionally there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Forum users are expected to be courteous when disagreeing with others.

3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

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.

22. Post constructively.

Negative feedback can be very useful to further improve EVE Online provided that it is presented in a civil and factual manner. All users are encouraged to honestly express their feelings regarding EVE Online and how it can be improved. Posts that are non-constructive, insulting or in breach of the rules will be deleted regardless of how valid the ideas behind them may be. Users are also reminded that posting with a lack of content also constitutes non-constructive posting.
