To some degree I agree but this isnt just a Goonswarm problem, all of Null sec has become a giant circle jerk, their is more action on a daily basis in a high sec asteroid than in null sec right now. What this game needs is a big, drag out, global war thats both personal and pointless... kind of like real life.

A drop in numbers is directly linked to the core game as well as its developers... end of

I can't wait until you **** off.

Y U MAD?

I'm rather calm, merely expressing my anticipation for you to **** off.

Hope this post cleared it up.

EVE is dying.

Again.

Still.

Summer.

You don't have to speculate about usage. Go to this link and you'll see usage history for several years. Eve is flat in terms of usage, not declining. There are occasional ups but the lowest level of usage is pretty steady.

Site was recently revised so that the "history" graph at bottom reads from left to right; used to read from right to left, and fooled me into thinking Eve was in decline. That's not the case.

It's only summer in half the world, you know.

Thats all I saw in that post as well.



To answer the OP..


Activity is low because its the last few weeks of summer. Once fall/winter hits the activity will pick up I'm sure.

CCP are utterly inept at PR and have done their utmost to get on customers ****.

Its summer time and im dating at the moment so me and all of my alts are not around.


wait until i mess this relationship up and ill be back online angrier than ever

CCP cater to the majority mate, an the majority are wow generation when they cry CCP listens, sadly. The game is not what it once was, an it's only going to get worse.

Hi, i took a break from eve over a year ago and just recently resubed again to get my eve fix

So I log in and first thing i notice is lack of players. The server stats show that only 30k-35k players are regularly on the server. Which is poor considering just a year ago youd get 50k-60k odd at peak times. Easy to notice that the systems are equally deserted when compared to last years.

I would have thought that with new changes (cheaper sub fee, new bc tier 3 ships) EVE would only attract more players, but it looks like the game is definitely getting much quieter than it used to be, so what could have caused this? What made you stop playing EVE?

I'm sorry if there was a post explaining this phenomenon, if you could link me to it I would gladly have a read.

Cheers

Shh.

It's so much easier for people to start these threads based on "it feels like" or "it seems I've noticed" than to present actual facts.

CCP are trying to turn EVE mainstream so they have to cater to the "wider audience" eg wow players...

Funny how that almost never works out in the long run.

1st: summer

Also: find a girlfriend, throw it in your bed and have fun playing with instead of pixels.
You'll see, that makes wonders to a man mental health and to girls physical condition. Both are happier, have a much better looking and actually start taking showers, smell better etc.

You should try it out
