Similar to other MMOs merging servers when the population declines. Eve is quickly becoming too big for the current playerbase and burning through a vast amount of empty space to find a fight is no fun at all. Unless the current trend is reversed I believe the expansion after citadels should focus on shrinking, streamlining and polishing the world of Eve.

I don't think I've ever witnessed a playerbase in so much denial. Shutting your ears and singing la-la-la won't help.

-2 for the most stupid idea posted today. We need more new players, not repel those, who are still here. Eve now has same numbers like in 2012. If it was small enough back then, it is small enough now. You want to find targets quickly? Go FW, Dotlan is your friend.

It would be great if it did but eve now has the same numbers as 2007, before wormholes were even a thing.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

You could always use the map to see where the ppl are..just a thought..

But that would require some effort, something many people appear to think is unacceptable.

Shrinking space I'm sure is not the answer although somehow merging the Chinese server would shake things up πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

How about no More Adding space untill we got more people ,but I been waiting for Jove for ages 😩

Every time I look up some neutral or fleet is in my space, and we aren't even that close to empire. It's damn annoying as I am usually trying to kill rats in anoms when people come calling.

If it's taking you so long to find a fight, you are simply in the wrong space, or your group has too many blues.
