Yes. Because D3 is an abysmal failure and no-one is playing it.

And before that it was skyrim.

A restaurant I worked in around 10 years ago, that was a weekly ritual. "We are dead because it's a long weekend" "We are dead because something is going on over town" We always had an excuse. Right up until they closed the doors we had excuses. We knew better, we also knew there really wasn't much we could do about it.

No, I don't think EVE will be shut down in a year but misery loves company and stagnation breeds misery. Sorry, CCP I have no magic rainbow. If I come up with something I will share.

Eve is dieing again? Again!?!?!? Why wont it stay dead!

Answers! I want answers. The person responsible for this travesty should be hung up by their toes so we can throw lime jello molds at them. Beat them is limp spaghetti noodles I say!

Whos with me!?!?!?

Surely it may seem to the journeyman that all things low-sec are dominated by goons and trolls, and said g/g's gleefully say that it's all just part of the game experience, but it can be a turn off for prospective players if they feel that the galaxy isn't quite a sandbox in the way they anticipated.

All that said, there are good, interesting low-sec corps out there that do things differently to the goons, you just have to look closely and don't get discouraged by the majority of EvE players - those who think anything more than a one-sentence answer deserves some kind of favour - not divulging much information.

Goons aren't killing EvE, they're just the only corp audacious enough to bring any kind of influence to bear on high sec. Not a perfect set of circumstances, to be sure...

EDIT: P.s., I'm not playing diablo 3.. as far as I'm concerned blizzard extracted the soul from all of their franchises when they made it mandatory for you to have internet connection and passwords/accounts to play the damn things.

No, before that, the numbers were quite nice and had recovered from Skyrim.

Yeah.

Well luckily no one has the clever idea to headshot VFK while everyone is looking longingly at the error messages on their D3 screen.

They might be playing it too, but whatever.

You only just noticed this? We actually killed EVE a while back. At this point we're basically just involved in a Weekend at Bernie's style conga line with it's grinning corpse.

Heh.

Please don't look at players on-line the week of a 12 years in waiting sequel

But yes if look at the graph of players online things are dropping

but i think that has nothing to do with any nullsec power bloc

Five thousand 300 million isk Hulks dead and all the victims just bounced back happy as ever...........right...

Im not saying ban griefing, just saying put yourself into a miner's shoes, many hulks have 200mil rigs, so 500 mil down the drain by a little tek 1 ship, who's gonna be hurrying back to play Roll

Ban all Hulkageddoners would solve this issue?

Huh, well...

Jesus died and was resurrected 3 days later. Eve online does it on a weekly basis.

Don't worry she get better, it's not time to bring out your dead.

Welcome to Eve. Everyone here is an Evil Sick Sadistic Bastard who is out to get you. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either trying to scam you or use you.

Who in their right mind puts T2 rigs on a Hulk?

Who in their right mind logs in to mine in hisec these days? The stats speak for themselves, and they speak louder than those in denial of the fact that not all's fine and dandy in the Eve cluster.

I havent been affected personaly, but I can understand miners who lose hulks, pointless to even log back in, again, the stats speak for themselves.

Big game releases always lead to a short-term lull in activity, this isn't news.

npc alts have no opinions worth consideration
