Meridian 59's still running.
Don't hold your breath on EVE dying in the next decade.

It all depends on when Dark Shikari gets bored of the forums and abandons us all to our ignorance. Therefore I give it 1.5 years.
Hey CCP!!! I want my new face for these forums. This is one ugly biatch! |

I gotta say it should be around for a darn long time. There are shootier (IMHO that is) games that have been around for ages, no reason that EVE should go away when those POSes are still around. Subjective judgement of course.
But then again, it occurs to me that EVE management is abit too much on the passionate side and not enough on the professional side, so I'd say that if EVE should die, it'd be because of misjudgement by management, not because this piece of software was not deserving of survival.

Given how we haven't broken a user record for ages, I think Starcraft II will be the push to the end.

Roflcopters.
I would say that it will last at least until something else worth playing comes out, and many years more than that.

when a better pvp centric MMOG will come out it will take a blow.
when a better pvp centric space opera MMOG will come out it will be the end.
Not tomorrow i think !

If it lives long enough for CCP to hire some brilliant parallel processing programmers and completely rewrite their underlying code to accomodate lag-free 1000x1000 battles, EVE will probably last until a malevolent player amasses enough wealth or power to ruin the fun.

For a serious answer - I think AoC will attract away the playerbase looking for PvP, the new Startrek MMO or Infinity will attract Sci-fi buffs away and Darkfall will attract the people looking for depth (me).
If most or even some of those games are complete flops then EVE should be safe.
Only two things really kill an established MMO - new competition offering the exact same thing but better, or the devs screwing up the gameplay in a collosal way (cough SWG).
People will whine a lot, but if they've not got an alternative to move to (as EVE doesn't at the minute -everything else is PvE grindfests) they'll stay. The minute they have an alternative however...

The only thing that will kill EVE is a scifi PvP-based MMORPG that is superior to EVE.
Considering the quality of MMORPGs these days, I don't that happening that soon.

Oh but didn't you know, when people take an extraordinary vision and make it into a tangible reality, and get other people sucked into it, then they can't retire. Only death will release them from this incredible bond that they have forged.

There is some really crappy MMO's out there that have been going for years and given that EVE is good  I think it will be around for some time to come imo over a decade easily.
That being said the real question is how long will EVE be one of the better MMO's, I mean if EVE is crap in 2 years for one reason or another just because I will have played it for a long time doesn't mean I will carry on playing it(I know people that play LOM II  its really crap  but I think alot of them play it just because they have been playing so long they don't want to 'start as a newb' just because they have a level 48 wizard or w/e, fools  it is a complete grindfest and has the worst customers service team this side of the worm hole, I have tried to get them to play EVE, but they are like herion addicts

I know lots of people who are sick of this game because of the devs playing the game and the only thing stopping them is the lack of a good online game to take it's place.
As someone said before, when a similar but better game than eve comes out people will leave.

Eve will start to die when BoB and all their narrow-sighted slaves finish eradicating all their 0.0 opposition.
Because then it will be BoB titan/cap fleets versus Empire-based foes, who are limited to building battleships. Once 0.0 is pwned, there will be no real way for alliances to get a new foothold and they'll all leave for greener pastures.
A lot of players already would have quit if it wasn't for the fact that there's no other half-assed space MMO to play.

Funny, devs from other company play their game too, but it's only here that a vocal minority of players complain...

Technically speaking, if BoB ever did conquer all of 0.0 space, it would then have to compete with all those former members of all the alliances it defeated AND new players AND its former friends (who would either fight amongst themselves or take advantage of BoB's over-extended-ness to take a larger chunk of the overall pie that is 0.0). Policing 0.0 space would become a fulltime job, and a less fun one than simply conquering it. Conquering 0.0 would be easy by comparison, and I'm sure BoB would either have a hard time doing it, or would simply break up into its constituent parts and fight amongst themselves while new or old alliances claim or reclaim parts of 0.0 in the wake of the civil war and madness that would ensue. Woo, long sentence. :D EVE will last 14 years.

The only near competitor for EVE that comes to my mind now is that Infitiny or something game, but it is on the early stages of development and the last i heard about it would take them several years to even release the BETA. We have EVE for long, if CCP upholds their own ideals and don't turn this game into a consentual PVP game. 
/sarcasm mode on
Oh wait, another serious competitor would be "Derek's Smart MMORPG" based on the Battlecruiser SERIES...

AoC won't attract the many players who are into sci-fi. And wether the pvp is competitive - time will tell.
Originally by: Nero Scuro
Startrek MMO
Like SWG an established brand name like ST will attract a lot of players for a time. Like SWG it's likely it's being pushed by marketing droids with no passion for the game itself and get ruined.
Also - with hundreds of thousands of players not everyone can be Cpt Picard or Scotty.
IMHO having a big brand name is good for short term attracting a mass of players - but bad for long term viability. Players will get disappointed exactly because they have too high expectations based on the big brand franchise (SWG, LOTRO, ST).
Originally by: Nero Scuro

Why?
Yeah - it looks nice enough - but what exactly would lure many eve players away?
There is more to a well-designed game than to talk about correct orbits - and who needs billions of stars?
Originally by: Nero Scuro

Looks great, might be good - but is fantasy - so won't attract any of those here who prefer sci-fi- and re if the depth is better than Eve - we'll see.
Originally by: Nero Scuro

Eve can easily survive even if most of the mentioned games are great successes.
First the MMOG market is growing - so one games success doesn't have to lead to another game total failure.
Originally by: Nero Scuro

I have yet to see any other MMOG that is overall as well designed as Eve. Not that that it is perfect - but on the whole I see a consistent trend behind design decision that IMHO are mostly right.

True.
But eve is also changing and adapting.
