Lets get this thread going. Generally just say what you think the state of EVE will be in 10 years.

My predictions:

- As technology evolves and CCP adapts, 10% tidi will be a thing of the past. Battles like 6VDT will have some lag but not as soul crushing as it was.

- EVE will peak at 80k players logged in on a sunday at least once over the next 10 years as a result of a kick ass expansion CCP releases, however this is as far as the growth will reach.

- A sizable percentage of "new" subscriber accounts will actually be alts of already existing players, as multiboxing with 5+ accounts becomes a lot more common as a result of cheaper, better PC consumer hardware becoming more readily available.

- T3 frigates.

- Dust 514 will mostly exist as an obscure spin off of the EVE online universe despite being available on PS4 (possibly the PS5 after it). Existing franchises like Planetside 2, and well, AAA FPS franchises will always eclipse Dust 514.

- 300m+ SP characters will exist

I'm so bored, please indulge my stupid thread.

Eve in 10 years will be dead. Especially if they keep making it a noob only game, needing everything to hell. And basically alienating the long term player base.

EVE won't be dead in 10 years. Even if it loses a large portion of its player base it will still be kicking, MMOs have a way of living of absurd periods of time. See: EQ, Ultima online

Amarr ships still won't be used in any of our fleet doctrines, and I'll keep flying them anyway.

In an odd move, CCP decides to port Eve to consoles as opposed to moving dust 514 to PC/MAC.

Neckbeards rage that filthy console gamers are on their Eve.

The posting on GD will be even worse than it is now.

EVE is dying!

Also we will have in-station battle games resulting in many whine threads.

As players increase, while Battles like 6VDT will have some lag but not as soul crushing as it was, the battle of VFK, which featured 8000 players at once on the Mittanigrad grid featured heavy tidi, soul-crushing lag and mass disconnects.

After the battle of VFK, goons were no more. Their 0.0 dream was over. N3 returned in triumph to their completely pacified Drone Region holdings.

In 10 years, you will have to pay the Mittani rent if you want to hang out anywhere in null sec. Also, BoodaBooda will be in a one man corp wondering where he went wrong.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

10 years, still be waiting on POS fixes, still waiting on DX11, still have "EvE is dying" threads as well as "nerf AFK-cloaking" threads, still won't have a viable bounty hunter profession, still have Erotica 1 scamming people with her isk-doubling rubbish, and still have me subscribing. Cool

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.

Entry level for nullsec is a supercapital; some newbies get in with HICs. Five thousand titans active, rest are in supercarriers.

D: As for a bajillion active supercaps and titans being active, no one can be certain (especially with fozzie's inevitable "look" at supercaps), but if its one thing we can all be certain on, cute newbies in fragile tackling frigates will always be welcomed.
