EVE General Discussion

Short answer : Nope

Long answer : Google "meet tranquility"

No chance.

If EVE goes completely **** up, CCP may throw a Hail Mary to the community by offering them the code to run and develop private servers so as to perpetuate their legacy.

But I wouldnt bet on it.

And EVE wouldnt be the same without a one server environment.
And I dunno whether one person can even facilitate EVE as a server with what people typically have at home for even a fraction of current population, unless you are playing on it alone. Probably not.

The article from Bloomberg was ambiguous at best. Speculation mostly. I see enough in game personally that makes me think it's got a few more years left. I am, by no means, an expert on MMOs or their longevity.

The 5 year prediction seems a bit short, but then again it could be spot on.

Returning to the game and resubbing so that I can fly all my Shiney ships is worthwhile for me. Even for the short duration. Not many other MMOS offer what EvE offers, if at all. They've made significant improvements to the game.with regard to new players joining the game. It definitely caters to the millenials. It will only get them so far however, because the curve is still steep when it comes to flying in nullsec.

I mean yea, it's fresh meat for the vets who are looking for new targets to pop or bait and pop in highsec, sure. Most of these newer players don't understand how to navigate defensively in the sand box. They'll either rage quit and another new player will take their place or adapt, learn to git gud and move on to nullsec for even more fun to be had.

I posted this question, because I personally love this game. I'm not entirely sure why I stopped playing 3 years ago. Real life demands took precedent. School, again, will be a thing, but I'm not going to let it stop me from enjoying what remains of the lifespan of this game.

I'll see you all in space my fellow pilots, either to pop my own shiney ships in an endeavor to pop yours or just pop yours. Regardless I'm looking forward to seeing lots more explosions to come!

Depending on how you count it, we're playing EVE III or IV right now (EVE 8 or 9 if it was an EA game, or EVE 30+ if it was a Square Enix).

What would you suggest for an EVE 2.0? Such a thing would stop the development of Eve cold. Eve 2016 even has changed a lot from the November/2015 game I started. Eve is moving and changing which will keep it up for another 15 years, simply because there si nothing to compare it to. Every CEO of a development studio that would suggest a game with such harsh consequences as Eve would be tarred and feathered and chased away with whips. Even in Dark Souls you get your souls back after death. Eve has a secure niche which will hamper it's growth but on the other side will guarantee it's survival.

Yes, EVE is close to be shut down! After all, it is know that thirteen year old MMOs all shut down a year after, specially if they are making a profit and the developers behind it are laser focused on working the game themselves love while keeping their livelihood going so they can support their homes and families.

Real talk? Instead of being busy thinking about whether the game will exist one year from now, what about you have fun with it now instead of mincing details? Isn't a good short life one worth living?

They have failed to integrate into EVE proper, is my point.

Now I see where you`re coming from. If this is your standard I know no game who has successfully integrated a spin off into its gameplay. Also I doubt I would want my fighters or turrets be operated by another player without knowing or being able to influence said players skill and/or level of intoxication.

Yes, EVE is 100% sure going to die soon, it is known. Luckily I already have the code and permission to run a new and free for all server. I am offering special deals until the old servers shut down: Give me ISK and I will give it back ten times on the new server. You can get personal housing, skins and ships too, just send me ISK and let me know what you want at TheEndIsNear(at)EVE.com

I also offer insurances for ships and structures you will leave behind on DoomsDay. Make sure your beloved ones have everything they need after you have ascended to the new servers. If you want the to claim the names of your current pilots, heroes or enemies on the new servers this will be only 10 Million ISK per name. Halos are at 20 Mil.

EDIT: I have to withdraw this great offer because of the forum EULA but you will all know where to find me, no worries.
