I took a much needed 1 year off of Eve. Been back for a few weeks now and there seems to be a world of change, both in game and here on the forums.
WTH has happen around here?
Want section used to be booked solid, you posted and within minutes someone was posting back. But now, seems like things move at a snailGÇÖs pace. This is neither good nor bad, just something that is a bit odd for a place that used to be so packed.
Has there been a bunch of people leaving or what not ?
Did I miss the announcement that the game will be shutting off at the end of the month ?
I know some things have changed in game as well, some good, some bad. I expect those things to happen, I just did not expect a active community to become so quiet.

You can now buy supercap pilots cheap, 0.0 practicallly belongs to a single entity and people are bored enough to suicide gank high sec en masse because they made their game boring by farming too much wealth and NAPPING up. furthermore PL have destroyed low sec and the only hope left is wormholes, which CCP are DESTROYING WITH CRIPPLING NERFS. Also everyone quit because CCP ruined their game and had a tantrum about it and didn't speak to the playerbase for 3 months about stuff and now people are slowly resubbing as CCP make wild promises about fixes to their game for the winter expansion that they cannot possibly hope to fulfill. Oh and the UI is an unresponsive piece of crap.
In the meantime, it's still kinda fun to play eve spaceships online. GÖÑ Haviing your portrait painted here helps INTAKI Disabled Children GÖÑ |

Depends on the thread for one. Second, nothing has happened really. A bunch of bitter vets got upset they couldn't "sit and spin" anymore. They also said that cosmetic and technical changes would kill EVE. What they failed to understand is that EVE and Keith Richards have many similarities. I will let you start your own conspiracies on this subject. That is what EVE general discussion is used for now. "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" |

Now that is funny, to polar opposite posts about what is going on.
Changes happen, vets get pissed (I said I took a year off) but as you both said the forum base has changed, that is really disappointing.

don't listen to kitty, she's just whining again. ANYWAY TLDR of whats going on.
CCP made some huge mistakes that caused a lot of drama, mostly working more on incarna than the game. Then random newletter that was meant for ccp internally got leaked and the community blew it out of proportion, then ccp hilmar sent an internal letter that made the situation worse.
now up to the current. winter's expansion is all about balance much needed balance and much more.
3 big things, - return of ship spinning, cyno effects and hopefully engine trails.
Current rage is super cap pilots whining that their super caps are no longer instant win machines.
As for forum quietness - people got sick of whiners constantly posting 24/7 so many people just quit posting in general they didnt want to deal with constant whining. |

Except I think it's obvious that is the SPLERG list of what's going on, not a reasoned list. GÖÑ Haviing your portrait painted here helps INTAKI Disabled Children GÖÑ |

First off welcome back
Its a difficult thing to answear to be honest but i will do my best based on my personal opinions.
As mentioned many people decided to take a break,more then usual for this time of the year. Ofc many just has teh regular summer break,but several also took a step back from the game after (as mentioned) things got a bit...out of hand i guess you can say,with the introduction of the NEX store and the famous monocle. The price of said monocle created a lot of attention,and most of it was rather bad. And not just on these forums. Im sure if you look around you can find a few articles around it and what happend the following week.
But as usual,many of these people come back since there really is no game that can compete with Eve atm,but im fairly sure that many of those still are careful with letting them selfes get involved to much before they know more about what is going to happen. Or they are just passing time waiting for other releases. But since not that many people actually read the forums in the first place,the lower player base makes the forums seem even less active since many of the forum warriors simply either left,or dont bother to post as much.
Another thing is also that people do get bored. In general Eve is very quiet these days,with less major wars and little ingame drama to talk about. (Please note im saying less,and again, my own personal opinion. I can be completely wrong on that one).
There also seems to be a lot less new players coming into Eve lately. This im basing on seeing how many people are trying to recruit,that never had to publically seek out recruits in the past. Also the majorety of the people that DO look for a corp are older players who are moving from empire into 0.0 or looking for empire war decs.
It can also be that many do not like the new forums and where against the idea in the first place. So it is very possible that in a couple of months when they see that these forums are here to stay, this time, they will start returning here post on a regular basis like they used to.
I hope this could be of some help.

Steve McCroskey: Jacobs, I want to know absolutely everything that's happened up till now.
Jacobs: Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it.
