EVE General Discussion

I hope EVE has huge PvE content expansion prepared for this or next year (like WiS or new type of space with procedural encounters and systems generation) - otherwise present 3 space quasi-MMOs + 1 MMORPG will continue to devour EVE player base because the only distinctive feature of EVE - territorial tribal warfare - isn't that interesting to the most players while everything else can be found in subscription-free games.

P.S. One of the games will have real exploration in just 1 week (though it's still in beta).

I'd say it's because of the hardcore players getting their voices heard a bit too much, people quit because EVE is too hardcore.

By now we could have had a functioning Incarna in place which in my opinion would have opened up EVE to alot of players who prefer to have avatar based interaction.

In the beginning hardcore fans were useful but now they only bring drama and butthurt feelings if CCP aren't creating the game THEY want to see, which is a very conservative, outdated game.

It's sad to say but hardcore players are destructive and EVE would be happy to see them gone.
Subscribers pay for EVE, not those salty basement dwellers that play 18 hours a day.

EVE needs to evolve and if the hardcore fans disagree again like they did with Incarna they can go back to playing runescape 18 hours a day and bury themselves alive with pizza boxes in their moms' basements.

Next time CCP decides to do something innovative, let the customers vote. Not everyone reads the forums, a matter of fact, many dont.

Spawn a window when you log on that allows you to vote. Should we do this or that? I'm pretty sure the casual majority of EVE's players would have loved to see Incarna happen.

You mean the single-shard, nothing-is-instanced environment that exists nowhere else in gaming?

Most interesting response to the 'ol EVE is dying thing.
Also, I think the amount of alts and multiple-account players are dropping rather than the amount of players in general.
And yesterday there player count was somewhere near the 38K mark, which is not bad for an early week day.

The idea of the pvp slider could safe eve!

Dude,
he can't hear you over the chanting (and screaming),
you know he never checks the forums when they're feeding the volcano.

Every year at fanfest, CCP sacrifises a virgin to the volcano gods and allow EVE to stay alive for another year.

They never have a hard time finding someone to sacrifise at fanfest.
