Forgive this small digression, but seeing as how English is not my first language (American, we've been mangling English for centuries) just exactly how does "he died" convert to "he's dying"? Confusing, and leads to idiot forum threads. Whaddaya call the folks who study language? An enty something or other, or is that just the name of an Eve ship Class?

Setting myself up to be enclosed in quotation marks, but I'm confused.

Well, Hell. If you're American you say "croaking". EVE is croaking! Or, "biting the big one!" At one time it was "bought the farm." The origins of that is interesting and oh-so very American.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

'Eves' not pinin'! 'Eves' passed on! This game is no more! It has ceased to be! 'Eves' expired and gone to meet 'its maker!

'Eves' a stiff! Bereft of life, 'eve rests in peace! If you hadn't been botted completely 'eve' would be pushing up the daisies!
'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'Eve's off the twig!
'Eve's kicked the bucket, 'eve's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!

Is EVE Dying?

Yep, sure ....

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes, again
Can you picture what will be, so limitless and free
Desperately in need, of some, stranger's hand
In a, desperate land...Sad...

Im also from ireland and ive heard rumours and stories about it.

aparrently (now i have never seen this for myself ) theres this big bastarding glowing thing in the sky (i know right)
And it slowly crosses the sky, warming the ground an anything its light touches if you can believe that.
Also (and this is the realy mad bit) it stops raining for protracted periods.

Seems far fetched to me, might be lies.

I want to know what this summer thing is too.

It's just past the middle of winter here in Australia and I live only an hour drive from the ski fields:

Well to be pedantic then yes EVE is dying because as soon as anything is created it's starts to die but as a game not for the forseeable future I'd say it's got at least another 10 years in it.
