I think Kidd reported two people, including Indeira, earlier for calling him ugly. I can't find the posts but I remember reading them so I guess a moderator removed them...

@Kidd, I can't believe you actually reported a person and then did the same thing several hours later...I would call you a hypocrite but I don't want to be reported. DO NOT report me! I am NOT calling you a hypocrite! I said I was thinking of calling you a HYPOCRITE, but I wont go through with it because you have a history of reporting people and I don't want to break any rules.

Again for the record you are not now nor have you ever been a hypocrite as far as I am concerned.

Oh yeah, you guys remember how Eve died when Star Wars Galaxies came out?

Or how [Star Trek Online/Jump Gate 2/Infinity: The Quest For Earth] became the ultimate Eve Online killer?

Maybe, just maybe, people are busy working at the moment. I mean WoW lost 300k subscribers.

Well whatever CCP does, this year is 2011, a lot of new games are comming out, if the Winter patch doesn't make it more fun, which it won't, it is simply more nerfs and more capitans closets and large patches, that is their last chance really.

I am playing out my isk as gametime, yearly sub cancelled, currently I have more isk for gametime than eve has lifetime, and my isk is always going up.

No new money from me, that goes to the new 2011 MMO's and Games, and telescopes and accessories :)



wait i think i remember you when your main said you were unsubbing in a year... did not care then and dont care now... i am having a blast in roaming pvp in pirate 0.0 space... so screw it left side to right for all i care... how about instead of waisting your time with plex for time go fit some ships and loose them in a blaze of gloary atleast then i would care more then a year of b&t(H fest

When the server crashed last week and had ONLY a 3 minute reboot.

26,000 had been on, and after reboot only 12,000 came back and it took 10 hours till DT for it to CREAP up to 25,000.

I refuse to believe that 14,000 Players got the 'give-ups' after 3 minutes.

That tells me it was 12,000 people PLAYING and 14,000 BOTTING.

There's a Metric fer ya.


Or it was the 14,000 that said "Yea i really should got to bed"

I used to have two clients running whenever I was playing. Now, with the changes since Incarna, I can no longer run two clients on my machine. Even with the station environment turned off. So I cancelled one of my accounts and waiting to see about the winter expansion for my remaining accounts.

The multiple client nerf (I'm calling it a nerf) is significant imo. A lot of the logged on population might have been semi-afk market players while running missions/fleets/whatever on another client. If it becomes more difficult to run multiple clients on a single machine, then less pilots will be logged in at any given moment.

Also, Incarna is a failure.

I used to run two accounts too, then when everybody was raging about poor performance in Incarna I dropped all rgaphics to low and used interval 3 to keep the clients running.
After a while, i thought, wtf - let's try this : and i changed graphics back to med/high detail. Guess what, two clients run fine, 60FPS each.

So, bottomline is: you want two clients? Get a box like mine (Core2Duo@2900, 2GB Ram, 9600 nVidia). See? Not very hard to get a box like that, is it?

lol, exactly my point mate - this box can run two clients, so what do the people complaining use to run TWO CLIENTS? and what do they expect with worse boxes than this?

It has happened before and it will happen again, your gain players, you lose players, but at the end of the day, Eve isn't headed backwards, its still steadly gaining popularity.

Yes CCP are annoying with their one track mind to release new features rather than address existing problems, but be thankful these problems aren't major enough to drive people away.

I used to play DarkSpace, that died a quick death, still has a few people around, but nothing like the old days

Self-fulfilling prophecy anyone? Let's talk it dead until it's dead.

The new player experience has actually improved a lot in the last 1.5 years. The game itself hasn't really changed at all in the same time. It still provides enough things to do to keep people busy for a year or two or even longer until they have seen and done everything that can be seen and done. And I can't really understand how anyone can expect a game to be continually interesting for half a decade or more...

The only things that indeed kills this games are ****** lag protests, ******* annoying "we are all doomed" threads, constant whiny complaints, complete lack of constructive or at least somewhat reasonable criticism and the whole negative propaganda **** that comes along, all generated by a good part of YOU.

CCP might have handed out knives, but you are the ones stabbing the game over and over with it.

Metrics I have noticed that measure the decline of Eve.

1. Market activity declining - Jita actually more expensive for items than other systems (Rens)
2. Player counts dropping
3. Ability to type a full sentence in Jita before the window scrolls.
4. Free AUR handed out like candy
5. PLEX bulk offers (overpriced) desperation bundles
6. Local trolling non existent, even the rats jumped ship


What have you noticed as a metric that shows Eve is in decline?



I CONSIDER MYSELF IN CCP'S CORNER, HOWEVER IM STARTING TO SEE SIGNS OF TROUBLE

Mostly the market, it has slowed significantly. Im a trader so i know first hand. 2-6 not that important, the market shows it all.

Eve isnt dying yet, but because of lack of new playable content, players are logging in less, and doing less. This explains why my trading strategy has slowed.

New content is needed to get things rolling again, new playable content is crucial.

i think one of this games weaknesses is that there is absolutely no "replayability"

you have 1 character that you can train skills on.

your other 2 are essentially mules

progression is based on longer skill training times, skills that yield diminishing returns.
