Matrix Online getting the plug pulled
Just saw this (don't ask) and though Eve is the only mmo for me and I've never played Matrix Online, I find it kind of sad for those players.
If (when?) that happens to us it will be a dark day. How do you think you would react?
For me, I don't know that I'd have the desire to play another mmo, at least for some time or until something really excellent surfaced. |

That game has been dead for a long time. Next to go will probably SWG as that too has kicked the bucket and is on life support. |

SWG should have invested more into the space side of SW, running around planets is fun and all, but that isnt what I liked most about SW. |

All I can say is...Saw that one coming. Surprised it lasted that long actually. Considering how quickly Tabu Rasa got yanked.
Soon to be failing MMO's. I'm betting on Stargate, and Startrek.
Possible failures: Starwars....yeah I said it. It's using the same formula with a few different twists. And they're sticking with tried and true starwars looks, and feel. Same story....blah blah sith trying to take over teh galaxy...blah blah. Reason it won't fail? gonna be very pve friendly, and there's enough starwars fanboy's out there to keep it going no matter the suckage it could turn into.
More possible: Jump gate evo: I'm praying this one is as fun as the multitude of reviews have made it sound.... problems with that are most of the reviewers are big WOW guys.... meaning very little risk involved....very hold your hand. Possible lack of depth.
Reason for coolness? Uses actual player skill to fly, and kill. A joystick will actually help and be meaningful. No more weapons formulas... EG: eve. So far the devs are up in the air on how "friendly" the game is going to be or how in depth you can go.
Level treadmill doesnt really impact skills that much just allows for use of different things.
Black Prophecy: Once again go either way.... using instanced zones which i dont much care for EG: Age of conan ....Not sure how pve/pvp break down is going to go.
Why it could work? Once again twitch based...meaning your actual skill. And all ships are modular in design, and will change look upon which mods you use. Graphics are nice. Other than that details are scarce....unless you can read german news sights.

So was I.
I still miss the old ground game there with the skill based mix and match profession system and the original (pre combat downgrade) combat system. When EVE eventually adds avatar combat I hope it's something as complex and fun as that system.
Yep, SWG is definitely going to be one of the next to go, especially with Bioware's TOR on the horizon.
Why I've stuck with EVE ever since I left SWG is that CCP is the antithesis of SOE.

warhammer wont likely go anywhere for long time since Mythic controls it.
Like Dark age of camelot 8 years and still going, Mythic was given control of Ultima Online and still going.
Mythic has a reputation to run a game even if it's into the ground for many many years, even if it's just 1 server in the corner of the room.

War actually has a greater sub base considering eve sub base is global. The one you see for WAR is North American. Lotr has held steady since a few months after release. Those games are no more likely to fail than Eq2 at this point. However I doubt you'll see them increase in number as well. |

As a note, the original Jumpgate is still up & running. Admittedly, it has globally only a single server, but apparently enough subs to keep a few techs busy maintaining it (though the devs there have had other games, as well). |

If Eve shut its jumpgates, I'd probably finally try WoW as I seem to be the only person who hasn't. |

Well, a lot of my friends are playing WoW, so I'd most likely return to that. Though it wouldn't be the same as flying through space, hunting innocent veld roids and melt them with my strips, muahahaha...

I would be very surprised if eve shuts down within the next decade. Its far far too successful a game for that, though one can never guess if a critical game breaking bug will ever appear that will drive the population away.
I've survived through two online games getting shut down. Motor City online, and Earth and Beyond, both of which were pretty cool games (in their time). Since Eve isn't controlled by EA, I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon.
With any luck, the eve servers will become skynet before they ever shutdown.

as long as we maintain our current sub count of 300,000 eve has a revenue of 45 million dollars a year. CCP keeps refusing buyout requests, and is generally focused at doing what companies should be doing. Focusing less on money, and more on improving the game and keeping customers happy. Regardless of your experiences in eve, you know this to be fact.
That said, EVE will continue to survive so long as the devs continue to create new things, and you continue to play and have fun. |

The first MMOs I ever played are still around:
Nexus TK and Dark Ages
Those games came out in like....1995, 1996 or so. Good times.
If a modern day MMO came out like 'Dark Ages' (not DAoC fyi) with an awesome hand to hand combat class that actually "felt" fun to play. I'd probably be all over that. Though I can never break away from EvE as I always come back to it.
