Im a fairly new capsuleer, only a few years (on and off) but already EVE has a hold on me. I look forward to the time I plan to invest in EVE but whats next? With games as ambitious as Star Citizen on the horizon, what is CCP going to do to maintain its fan base? Already Ive witnessed a pretty large decline in players which saddens me. I wonder if EVE will ever get a massive overhaul or something

Thank CCP Falcon, thanks to him, I discovered that the game better Eve, where is not present Martina. And where I can in any way protect the the ruler. (and not just watch as are killing.)

I sometimes post "wat?" as a bit of a joke.

But I'm serious this time.

Vollhov is a common sight around the EVE fiction area and RP locales.

He has some very strong feelings regarding EVE's storyline and is rather unhappy about recent events with the Drifters and death of Jamyl. He often posts quite passionately about it and English isn't his first language.

:Vollhovpost: notwishstanding, Eve is the midst of a serious makeover. Game mechanics have changed left and right over the last two years and will continue at least for the next few releases. There's talk of an unprecedented overhaul to PvE, but on a multi-year scale that I'll believe in once it starts to be implemented. Meanwhile, we in the Imperium are doing our best to generate additional content in other areas of this game.

Eve is and has been delivering. SC and E:D may technically be delivering, but they've barely made it to beta. It's too soon to say how the Eve fanbase is reacting to these games, and for the life of me I can't rationalize why a change in Eve subscription numbers could reflect, right now in December of 2015, a migration to SC and E:D.

when SC is actually out and working then it might be worth worrying about. until then I'm convinced it is a giant ponzi scam. Also who knows if it will even be fun? I also imagine the server crapping out on a "fleet" battle. anyone know what a "fleet" is in that game 20, 40, 50, 100?

I think eve has a lot of good ideas on the horizon, and if they get executed well I think we should be alright. Seems to me that null needs a bit of work but past that a lot of the rest of the game is pretty decent. Also there is the whole Valkyrie thing that sounds awesome, that could get people in.

Honestly, I find it baffling that anyone thinks SC (or Elite, for that matter) represents a substitute good for Eve.

Things they have in common:

-They're space-themed video games.

And... that's about it.

You may as well say that Chess and Checkers are in competition because they're both played on an 8x8 grid, or that Marmite is a substitute good for peanut butter.

Agreed.
Star Citizen/etc talks a big game, but sandbox gameplay is not a thing where you can simply hop right on the shoulders of the giants that came before, and refine on their work. The depth, balance, and potential of Eve is the culmination of over 10 years of working trial, error, and iteration, all in an area of knowledge that few others are working on.

At present, these newer games speak in broad terms about their features, they describe things in general, conceptually. But if Eve has taught us anything, it's that the details are what determines if the big picture is actually any good.

If these newer games touch even a portion of what Eve has already achieved, without a long period of iteration, I will be astounded. Until then, Eve stands alone, without competition.

Unless CCP deletes null and supers, you're right Star Citizen will usurp them.

Really dude? Your a promoting a game called Elite Dangerous? I think your Google Translate needs to be fixs. But serious promoting a other game inside eve forum good job dude.

For the confuse people he is talking about this game https://www.elitedangerous.com . So in short words he says this game is better because CCP Falcon says so?!?!?

That game is better than eve ....... Yah i have seen plenty "trying to speed up eve online copy games" and all die or get lost in the thresh bin. Or the promote it because wow it is a first person action flick. 24/7 adrenaline rush. And when you die you spawn back after 8 second... Yah great games for a month or 2.

Those games are made for kids that have zero PATIENCE and PATIENCE is a thing than many people seems not to have. See clash of clans people spend tons of money in it because of zero PATIENCE. And thats why the fail at eve. And eve stands out of a PATIENCE game. One of the best to say it.

All CCP needs to do is to stop worrying and to stop copying what others will be/are doing, and instead to keep to what they're good at (pvp centric sandbox). Sadly over the past few years that hasn't happened and slowly but surely the self fulfilling prophecy becomes more of a reality with every change in the wrong direction which is kinda ironic because they made those changes to battle any perceived loss of customers and now, because of them, it might actually happen.

Still not too late but it requires vision and direction, preferably from someone who actually understands the game (which, it seems, is the problem right there).

ED is a really cool looking game, if all you want to do is be left alone and grind/trade your way to riches. EVE players like that are no contributing factor to the game at all, the game isn't better off with them nor is it worse off without them. All they'll do is whine about how the game isn't what they want it to be and demand changes. So if you really think ED is better then, by all means, please go there.

Chances are that if you'll try it, perhaps for a month or two and then realise how really fcking shallow that game really is, how empty and meaningless. A ****** competitor is the best advertisement EVE can have because it'll rake in new people to a space game theme which then disappoints them to hell, and then they'll look for another space game: EVE.
