Wasn't 2015 when ISboxing got banned?
that could be the cause for part of this drop in players and numbers online.

Even the majority of gankers is gone... which is a shame... it put some fun into mining

All the links from Fanfest 2015 are showing the same video. Why?

soooo .... 2015 was such a great year for EVE-Online ??? funny , the ppl i fly with dont seem to think so .... for starters we had the banning of input broadcasting (yes i was a multiboxer who used it , 13 accounts down to 4 ) and that caused a drop in numbers ... yes i know a lot of ppl love that change but it also pushed a lot away from the game .... then there was Drifter incursions .... just as ppl worked out how to run them CCP moved the goalposts and made us bash our heads on keyboards all over again to figure out new doctrines .... and then there's Jump Fatigue !!! .... i have flown my carrier ONCE this year and after ending up with a 25 day jump fatigue timer i parked it up alongside my dread and rorqual , threw a dust cover over it and left it to rot .... i doubt i will ever fly a capital again ... numbers are falling all over eve ... even high sec carebears are dissapearing in droves .... i FC high sec incursions and have done on and off for 4 years and the numbers in game are so low atm that instead of running 2-3 different vg fleets at one time , upgrading to assault and HQ sites daily , the community i fly with struggles to keep a single vg fleet going for more than a few hrs and we may get the numbers for assaults 2-3 times a week and a HQ fleet on weekends .... if we're lucky ..... and its not just my community .... its all incursion communities across the board ..... EVE-Online is dieing and CCP are doing their best to hasten the death .... as a nearly 10 yr vet i am saddened by the changes brought about in 2015 and only hope CCP can see the error of their ways and stop introducing rubbish like ship skins and clothing !!
Hell , if you want us to have pretty coloured ships , let us do our own paint schemes ( not that im ever zoomed in close enough to actualy see the skins, they are nothing but bling for station bound ship spinners imho) and as for clothing ... when i started playing EVE i was led to believe that as Pod Pilots we were hardwired into our pods .... so why would we need clothing in an egg full of fluid
Eve is a game of INTERNET SPACESHIPS , not INTERNET FASHION SHOWS ... get back to basics , fix what you have broken , and then get back to creating real content , not window dressing a dieing dog
Sorry CCP Phantom , you may be happy and think its been a good year but a lot of your clients (especialy the older ones ) do not agree and quite a few are voting with their feet and leaving the game

RIP EVE-Online ..... its been fun

Year 2015 in nutshell?

Many CCP's attempts to fix a lot of things they broke in the past, unfortunately breaking them even more as a end result (probably to show the folks it wasnt broken that much afterall).

Even more CCP's attempts to fix things that were not broken at all (probably to show the people they are actually doin at least something)

Looks like CCP moved half the Devs to "Creative Team" to be able to bring a handfull of skins every week to satisfy the minority of players who actually somewhat care.

Promising and implementing things which make no sense causing earthquake in the ranks of whatever left from subscribers. Also promising things, that all know, are not gonna happen. Ever!

Hiring a weirdo to tell people, the situation is not that bad, and to not to panic. All this is apparently a part of some "Bigger Plan" to make EVE a better place with bright future and whatnot for everyone. Canceling "work in progress" patches and bringing back "work in progress" expansions.

So that was year 2015 for me.
But hey lets not be completely negative, now lemme look on the bright side right? With this tempo there will be nothing left to f*ck up by 2017 :)
