EVE General Discussion

After having a drink concluded that eve follows RL, starting from tribes, medieval age, modern wars and ending in a complicated political game with few conflicts. Needs more religion.

You say that, but i think there might actually be too many rules and laws....

I thought earlier that that it's the lack of active systems that is a threat to EVE, but now i see that there's 2 more things - An overabundance of rules, and a universe which is a bit too small. Maybe not necessarily in map size, but in details.

The recent sov overhaul is littered with rules, more rules and exceptions with their own rules. Same with pretty much every other system in the game.

High PLEX prices is a symptom, not the root cause. Eve is is bleeding subscription numbers, which translates to less people engaging in PLEX trades, which in turn means higher PLEX prices.

If Eve is to become the "elite members only" club that some wish it to be, then it will need to trim a whole lot of fat. I suppose the good news is that we're now on the fast route there. Now we can only hold on to our hats and hope that the other side is as pretty as some say it is.

Aint dat the damn truth. You gotta spen mo time gettin in this game than to meet damn Jay-z at his club. Dem ol money boys been writin da rules since all along. Run up one some bigass group in gankin ships in highsec, run up some bigass country cub in zerosec, run up some gangstass pirate club, they all the same damn ppl rite? Been in this thing since aint no tell how damn long, got all the thing figure out strait up, and still dont wanna let a newboy have nothin.

En den they come out wonderin how all this aint no new play tryna buy them some PLEX? Mofugin anint no reason to be buyin that junk when you caint do nuthin with it! Whachu gun do with a bil in dat wallet newboys? Gun buy a bigass titanship and get that **** shivved in the parkinlot by some 50 ol boys done had that thing on watch for a year? Gun buy a bigass chara bazaarboi and join up some countrycub show and get kicked cuz you aint strait with the thugs on top wanna shine dem shoes?

I tell ya strait up what gon be on da othe side of dat bridge, ain't no pretty club boy, it's ol nasty oakland. What you gunna get is the dam samn ol junk that they always been upto with all this gripin about aint no nothin fo us ol boy money to do an CCP come on giv us mo ppl to kill. Everyone gunna get tired of killin the same folks they dun killed for a damn ten spot worth of years and wont be long befor nobody left.

Anyone in da bisness world know better an all that. You ain't gitten new fiends on the block then you aint gittin no new bisness. You can count ya money all night with da fiends ya got, but when they drop thas yo bank with it, heard? Boys upstairs yall need to hear dis. Git keen wit dem newboys, git em comin. Yall thinkin you gotta keep these ol fiends but boy they be gone no matter what yall un do after a while now. Erbody got they own thing and nobody keep doin the same forever.

There were multiple changes. The most obvious isnt always the cause. Less subs could be the cause of high plex due to a loss of plex supplying peeps and needing to sell fewer plexes with the higher cost.

I'm amused .

Although, it seems more likely that as the game evolve and requires more hardware to run, that the number of multi-client lowers.

It makes it harder to run multi-client at the same time, and so the numbers diminish.

That is another option for how the numbers decline.

I do not get less accounts though, I get more, even though the risk of ban for even posting on the forums increases.

I think that closed or inactive accounts do not count towards active member.


Edit:
The worst thing that could happen is that CCP banned 60% + of accounts for no reasons or no good reasons.


Edit 2:
On a side note, I could or should make a killing offering understanding courses.
(Not like it is ever going to happen.
~You can't post in the next 19 seconds.)


Edit 3:
It's the 80 20 rule,
Pareto principle.
You can't always get more numbers (in active and online ingame pilots or accounts or players)
if fewer or 20% of those mass of players pay 80% of the admin intake.

The rest of the 60% decline in number or 80% only covered 20% of the cost,
although in this case, they may have provided to buy more PLEx, raising the cost.

I can hardly see how 80% of the player base would only cover 20% of the cost.
I think it is more likely that the same 80% (yes, not another 80% of course) covers 80% or at least 60% or 40% of those costs.
Even if they were more likely to pay their activity with more PLEx at 300m ISK or 600m ISK or 900m ISK / PLEx purchase.

Skills:

All new characters will now start with approximately 400,000 skillpoints rather than 50,000.



thank you

Apart from being a completely arbitrary number I think CCP could indeed do worse.l Like banning 61% of accounts. The ultimate worst situation being CCP banning 100% of accounts and not allowing the creation of new ones. I think that would equal a dieing eve.

Interesting. What kind of religion are you thinking of ?
