eve is realsing a big content update as well.

No where near the scale of wow.... but eve is nowhere near the scale of wow..... nor does it want to be.


Where the hell would we even PUT 10 million players.

Jita, then destroy the stargates, then allow all stations to be destructible. Battle royale time!

The allow the survivor to take a wormhole back to high sec where he will promptly lose his ship and pod to gankers.
Or he will land in a wormhole system without a probe launcher and/or no wormholes to scan. Lost for all time in space.

eve online in 2007 average 50000 + players mid week in the evening

eve online in 2014 average 20000 players mid week in the evening


CCP knew what they were doing when they changed the game mechanics along the way and messed everything up...Eve used to be fun to play but not anymore.



DODO is probably just round the corner.

So watch the trailer again and pay attention to the number of things that promoted group play and the number of things that spoke to solo play. CCP did a good job representing both. Overall a good job on the trailer.

Hopefully the next video promotes a new type of gameplay to attract a broader audience.

Maybe it's just my own experience, but holy hell, bomber FCs are some rather excited gentlemen when their runs go well.
Between the BB FC, and DBRB, I'm not sure who wins the "woohooooo and ****" award. Different styles of giddy, but about on par with each other.

n+1 > n. In its current form if eve ever had 10 million players online at once it would need to be able to support 1 million of those 10 million in the same system at the same time. To alter that preposition we would need a drastically different sov system or to change the sandbox.

This is a good quote for people who don't understand nor how to truly play the game.

I'm not saying that to be insulting or mean. It's just that, from the 10 years I've played this game, I've never really played well with others. I've mostly always been solo and yet, I still manage to get into any content I want.

I mean, yes, it's difficult if you're not invited to the party, but that's what EVE is all about -- crashing the party if you want too. Who is going to stop you? Surely not the developers in almost all cases.

The problem is that so many players are used to game developers holding their hands and saying, 'Yes, you should have access to this content. Let me make you a private instance and virtually remove all human interaction from your experience unless they are apart of your approved list of course."

That's not EVE. No hand hold here. You get a ship, some guns and a nudge in the right or wrong direction. And for that, that's why I mentioned you don't understand nor know how to truly play this game if your only come back is, "you are consigned to high sec."

No, you are not.

pretty much this.

the best fun is when you crash someone's party (3-way yo!), and break their toys and bathe in the tears of both sides.


it's glorious.
