...I and many other Australian (and Kiwi) gamers with PS3s and a pre-downloaded pre-ordered version of GTA 5 will be vanishing from EVE Online into the abyss of consequence-free sociopathic gaming. Many others in Australia (and Kiwiland) will be lining up (some in the rain, especially on the east coast) for midnight launches to grab their pre-ordered hard copies for either PS3 and Xbox 360.

We may be gone awhile.

But remember, though EVE's population may fall for now, it will rise again as we wipe the tears of joy from our eyes, take our first showers in weeks and remember, that once upon a time, we had a wardec to tend to.

Farewell for now, adieu, and see you all again soon.

Actually...

I'm logging back on now for at least another two and a half hours.

Where were you when GTA 5 launched?

Is that evidence that the French did it? P

Oh I have been playing it non-stop since Friday.

It is a fantastic game and improves on just about everything from IV.

Have fun!

You lie.

You obviously had to stop to post that.

Good for you.
Any other one telling us what are you doing the next days?
Now if you are sharing such an irrelevant info, you might at least share what systems are you leaving empty. Just in case it is useful in any way.
Thanks.

Would you say they've... retreated?

Actually, there is a purpose to this post beyond what I am doing for the next few days. It has to do with the population, and the inevitable "EVE is dying" threads soon to come just because a large portion of it will be playing GTA 5. This makes the post relevant to GD as well, as it directly addresses the reason why the population is going to drop. Way to miss the point.

And no, you can't have Inari.

For sure EVE population has been here so far no GTA 5 has existed before.
If you change your mind and leave for good, may I have your stuff?

I have no idea what you are trying to say in that first attempt at a sentence. As for the second, no, again you miss my point. I'm not going anywhere, I'll probably be back on a few times during the course of playing, but I will not be leaving EVE.

Also, please tell me English is not your first language.

Besides the joke about you "again changing your mind, leaving for good and leaving me your stuff", my poor first attempt to a sentence means that, saying that EVE population will decrease just because you and your mates are leaving to play GTA 5, sounds a bit pretentious.

I hope you appreciate my effort on improving my English, which is obviously not my first language. And this is not sarcasm.

That wasn't what I said though. The point is, if the EVE population drops, it's probably due to people playing GTA 5. You do realise how popular GTA is, right? And not Justin Bieber popular, but quality popular, like jeans and The Beatles. So you can pretty much count on a population drop, even if it's an intermittent one, or even a small one, but someone will notice, and start an "EVE is dying" thread, just like when Mass Effect 3 launched and everyone was off playing that, except GTA is even more popular than ME.

It's not pretentious to state the likely outcome of a scenario given an educated guess of the factors involved.

Relax, it'll get there. They're probably putting the PC polish on it right now P

IRL friend of mine is getting the game right now,
although it should be available tomorrow, as he said. (Xbox360)

I doubt people will notice your absence...
