I find it interesting that the server population has actually gone down since the Incarna expansion.
Shouldn't the expansion and all these new marketing campaigns they have been doing (eve is real, advertising on every popular game website with bs news articles ect) be bringing more players to the game?
CCP have lost touch with their player base and the last 3 expansions have added nothing of value to the sandbox, which is no surprise that each of those expansions have failed to bring CCP more subscriptions.

Just be patient.
I attended FF '07.
What looked like heavy production of Ambulation complete with extensive lectures on clothing, animation and station environments turned into 1 room with no functionality 4 years later.
And this is from a company that has the equivalent of 3 x AAA game studio teams. Just 1 team can effectively develop an entire game in 1 x 18 month period, using the current game development yardstick.
In the current time it has taken, they should have been able to ship 8 fully completed games.
We got 1 room that broke the game.
Patience may be a virtue, but don't **** down my back and tell me it's raining - CCP is being laughed at by the entire gaming industry right now, the only thing they had left on the table was respect.
I love this game & community, but The Sword of Damocles hangs heavily above CCP's head right now - and it's justified.

Good post. I agree with you. The WIS they showed in 2007 looked possible for them to pull off multiplayer because of the simple graphics.
For some reason they scrapped all the work they did to partner with NVIDIA to develop graphics for WIS made for hardware that wont be available for 3+ years (to render more than 1 character.)
So now we have technology in eve that won't even run on our machines to render more than 1 person without top of the line graphics cards that come out 3 years from now according to CCP and nvidia.
Don't expect to see friends in your CQ or to be able to really walk in stations anytime soon, or ever.

@ the OP.
I am a new wow/rift/sc2/eq1-2/ffxi refuge and I friggin love this game!!! I canceled my 2 subs to wow 1 sub to rift and have 3 eve accounts. I found this game through steam.com and have been hooked ever since. In most mmo's during the summer activity is down, that's basically how I got in most of the good guilds I have been in. The sky is not falling its just warm and sunny out. relax bro and troll less.... its funny I see about 150 different names constantly on these forums. I highly doubt you all speak for the eve population.
Your the first one to post your a new player with 73 replies before you. I expected posts like this much sooner.
1 or 2 new players won't replace the fact this game has an average of 5000 less players online at any given time since Incarna's release. See this link http://www.eveonline.com/externalLink.aspx?l=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eeveger%2Ede%2Fpage%5Fserverstatus%2Ephp
Many of the players that left were veterans, some of which like myself have been playing for over 5 years.
The average retention time for a new player in Eve is 1 month. Even if CCP managed to bring in as many new players as ones that quit, they are still at a loss.

Just so you know constantly posting bad **** about this game will turn new players away. I have the mmo experience to know not to listen to the hype luckily. Other new players, I am sure, don't. This overreacting on these forums will turn new players away. I have seen it on other games and I can see it starting here. If you want to kill your game then keep this up. TBH IDC all that much I do not have a ton of time invested here and can move on without losing much, but you are on a path of self-destruction.
I understand this well. I also understand CCP's CEO stated they don't listen to what players say, but what they do.
I want eve to be what it was once about: spaceships in an open universe sandbox.
CCP have blatantly abandoned eve for the last 3 expansions to develop WOD, DUST 514, and a half baked social networking site for eve.
If players don't unsub, then CCP will continue on their own "path of self-destruction."

Your reading comprehension is literally less than grade school level if that's what you inferred.
I honestly don't think you are trolling and really just think you are "right".
Which is exactly why my sons video game allowance is based on his GPA.
Funny, a response like that is what I would expect from someone in grade school.
You need to question your own reading comprehension.

I told you before and I'll say it again, if you show me where

Look at the fifth paragraph of the email, the one starting with "Currently we are seeing _very predictable feedback..."
I will not post the email here because I do not want to get banned again.
