EVE General Discussion

yea I noticed that lol

Don't get me wrong, I do try other games, and I know that some games do bleed off subs, and some people will get mad at a change and leave. Some got mad at crius, some got mad at hyp. Some got mad at the drone changes in the day the day (I miss my damn 8 ogres in a thorax damn it) some got mad at the original missle nerf (I missed my cruise kessie for so long!) some at the titan nerf, the list goes on and on. But often a lot return as there is no other game out there like eve, and honestly never will be. SC is not going to do it, ED won't, nothing will. People come and go, the point is, we just don't have the tools to be 100% sure CCP has suffered any huge dip in subs. Its more likely that Dust failed.

+1, stop being so miserable people

Even when things are slow there's enough to catch up on and a squillion things to try. Honestly, I think when people get bored they are just being a tad lazy (I am) because no-one else is providing them content. That's a mentality issue, and it's really unfair on the people who do put in the effort ingame for others. Sov is broken, yup. You can still skirmish for lols, just make up a reason. Don't burn people out of game through exhaustion just to spoonfeed content, play for yourselves fgs.

It's really hard to keep people cheerful when things are slow ingame, and the forums seem to emphasise it (but often unhelpfuly). The Devs who remain (who are not management, don't lose sight of that) are putting the effort in, and it's not unreasonable to acknowledge that once in a while.

ISDs love EvE too I'm betting. I'd change that OP to something more along the lines of "EZWAL, DRINK THIS -*Snip* Gladly! But please refrain from personal attacks. ISD Ezwal.

ps +1 for will be here til they pull the plug. Being a fan doesn't make you a boi, and doesn't mean you can't be critical. No need to be a **** about it though. Unless you're an entertaining ****.

This, right here, is the very definition of 'EVE is Dying". Your very own sentence just summarized it.

no, mothballed and unsub are two different things.

Mothballing accounts, and going to long skill training, while you wait is not eve is dying, its mearly eve is slowing down. Its a normal cycle in games as in life, you hit points where thigns are slow and drag on, only to have them pick up later. EvE is not on her deathbed, she is merely watching tv alone on a sat night not feeling like hitting the club for the 100000000000000000th time. It happens. Big changes are coming, some will scare people who don't wan tto adapt or who see changes as bad. But in the end, a shake up will awaken the player base that is still chilling, which will cause the ones that remain to be active and bat phone there friends. There is a difference between rest and death.

I don't care what eve-offline has to say, be it proving me wrong or right that EVE is substantially less active than previous years, I can ask my friends and get a good idea of how the games going. Almost all have unsubbed at least one account if they run more than a single one, more than a few have quit the game entirely.

Personally I have unsubbed 5/6 accounts, latest to go was my offgrid booster. My 'main' is currently not resubbed and now I'm just waiting out the next month or so.

as asked already, why are you bouncing?

What, just once? I've quit the game entirely at least five times, get on my level.

That will be me.

And I will blow you up with my yet to be created faction titan.

The game is boring. The map is stagnant. The largest alliances are completely immune to any form of disruption. In this I guess art has successfully imitated life. Well I play games to get away from reality not to be reminded of it. Also too many kiddies peeing in the pool. Acting like a total and complete phallus is the only way to play. It's funny the first couple times and after that it gets tedious. I'm also not particularly attracted to being a jerk all the time myself, so I have no motive to continue.
