Original Article: http://nosygamer.blogspot.ie/2014/07/happy-eve-is-dying-day.html
Shameless Reposting is below! (For anyone who cant click the above link :P)
One of the recurring themes in EVE Online is that "EVE is dying." We see it today with the declining ACU number. We saw it a few years ago during the Summer of Rage. Actually, we hear someone bring up the idea all the time. But how long has EVE been dying?
The answer may surprise people. Chribba did a search of the forums and discovered the first mention of "EVE is dying" was posted by Madox on 30 July 2003:
Quote:Posted - 2003.07.30 19:45:00 - [8] i think people forget that we are paying for a service here. if you were at a restaurant and they told you your food would be ready in an hour then 15 minutes after the hour they told you it would instead take an additional hour AND THEN they don't bring your meal out for another two hours without telling you, something would be seriously wrong. now image that restaurant has 5000 people in it. we are the customers here. we are paying for a service. we have every right to question what is going on. now granted, isk refunds for missed productivity and asking for some sort of public appology that all the devs signed is just plain silly. however, a dev CAN take 35 seconds out of their busy schedule and make a small post on the devblog letting the paying customers know what is going on. i think that is all anybody is really asking for. *eve is dying* That's right. The players began proclaiming that EVE is dying 11 years ago today. Apparently EVE is afflicted with a long, lingering, illness. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rQXJ7Y7r3Xg/U9hIMGUYPcI/AAAAAAAABUo/Vi4LURooI7w/s1600/First+EVE+Is+Dying+Post.png Because the Legacy Code has too much Psssssssssssssssh, nothing will ever get fixed until CCP stop wasting money on failed sparkle MMOs and instead rewrite the entire backend of EvE from scratch. |

What a long, strange trip it's been?
Or some other platitude suitable to that, anyway.
Oh, and in before the guys who says we need to start pandering to carebears to save the game from it's decade long death spiral. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

nah, we just need to live by the code One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

If you don't pander to carebears RIGHT NOW it will be too late man. At this rate, in 50-60 years from now EVE will be dead and then people will have no choice but to go outside and fly around in the Jetsons car and Jet packs. Stop being so short sighted here Kaarous, Global Warming EVE is dying is real!

Eve is dying for me each day I can't get a belt. I used to do ice mining during the week semi afk due to commitments however helped me to make isk, but now it seems I can't get to any ice belts in my time zone. If I'm lucky I get one ice belt a week that i have to really travel for. I thought ice was going to be in all time zones and respawn every 4 hours, well it doesn't.
Unfortunately everynight during this week, I log in, see no ice belt then log out and play something else. A few nights I log in to check after an hour or so just in case there is ice only to fine, nada.
This is killing the game for me, I don't say EVE is dying I say, CCP are killing EVE for the players. One bad decision after another. |

That sounds less like Eve dying and more like you killing Eve. Ice mining, even only "semi"-AFK is no way to go through life, son. CCP needs to rebuild the entire mining aspect of the game in its entirety. -á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á "LIVE FAST DIE." - traditional Minmatar ethos [citation needed] |

I'm genuinely surprised it took that long
Pan (community manager back in 2003) was calling loads of people "Chicken Little" on the forums in June 2003 - I think that was when m0o blocked Mara-Passari & there were riots on the forums :D |

That was during Tyrannis when PI was the only "new" thing that launched. Most of the rest was cosmetic or backend stuff. |

Eve is dying days are as common as muck.
If you're going to celebrate something at least make it something more note worthy.

I have no idea, I've been playing for just an year a couple of days ago... come to think of it, Happy Birthday Gully, too!
Anyway, people that know better than me debated the data in that thread.
On a side note, I can't wait till this month is over to add it to the Death-o-meter! I predict a big spike... Repent, sinful forum people, the end of the world is near! EVE Online: Death-o-meter |

Can the death-o-meter be annotated with significant expansions/bugs/patches/events/bad decisions from the spiked periods? I recognize a few but hardly all. Ones before RMR are before my time. -á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á-á "LIVE FAST DIE." - traditional Minmatar ethos [citation needed] |
