Is this game stagnating, or for lack of a better word, dying?

I haven't played for a while due to busy work schedule. But I'm seeing much lower activity on the forums these days. Is the game dying?

I do believe the cause is a crack down on **** posts by the isd. Rather much like this one.

Why would you equate forum use to game use? Especially as there are many sites dedicated to eve so it makes it even less of a reliable indicator!

Maybe something remotely related to user numbers would be a better idea?

Quite right. Never understand how people don't know this exists before they think of posting. A very quick google would bring them to eve-offline.net.

If he thinks 'stagnating' is the same as stabilizing, then yes. If he thinks stagnating is the same as dying, then no.

Vague notion -> OMG reaction -> extreme conclusion -> extreme statement and added a questionmark for show

After 10 years everything has been said.

The time for talk is over but fear not, we still have the option of resorting to VIOLENCE!!

Reality has an almost infinite capacity to resist oversimplification.

Then how can you tell if it is dying or not?

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

Technically speaking, yes. But so is the sun, and you, and me....

What possible connection could there be between Forum activity and the state of a playable game itself ??

None. None whatsoever.

Man, not ANOTHER one of these idiotic posts...

People aren't posting on the forums so that must mean the game is dying?

What stupid logic...
