the number of backers increased dramatically in the last 24 hrs as if lots of people (about 20k) were just waiting for the final rush. Before the site went down the pace was about 100k $ per hr (in the last 2 hrs before the server collapsed). When I woke up this morning we were at 4.3 which was already outstanding, now we're crossing the 5 mil mark!!
I'm truly proud of being part of this project and I'm sure things could go just better and better from now till the day-1 in 12 months (for the alpha).
I'd only like to understand if it will be possible to purchase more ships before the alpha is out, assumed you already pledged during the crowdfunding cause I've read in the forum that it will be possible to upgrade your pledge even after the crowdfund ends but also CR stated very clearly that you won't be able to buy any "additional ship" once the campaign is over so vOv
in any case, so much win!
f**k EA!!

lol
not only they can't keep up with the content delivery but I think Chris has not even an idea about what to throw in the fuss for the 6 mil mark that at this point it's absolutely realistic:
$5,321,765 and 12 hrs to go
epic!

6.2 millions collected, the revenge of true PC (hardcore) gamers (yes nerds we are lol), a crowdfunding campaign that crashed any previous record and that will be very hard to outmatch for many years to come, a game that is really going to be something unseen and amazing........ I'll see you there

The first one who is not interested in competing with EVE in any possible way is Chris Roberts himself. He's adressing to a totally different kind of playerbase, and reading the forums while they were still up (+ other gaming/hardware related ones) made me understand the similarities with EVE will almost stop at "space environement".
In SC you will meet much more people oriented towards a "flight simulator in space" rather than a real time strategy in space which is EVE. Many of them will almost stuck at playing the single player version cause totally not interested in the MMO, a good part of those who will play the MMO is already crying for SC not to allow griefing and ganking in a EVE-like styla, there will be the chance for personal servers with different features and rules.
This very last "option" is imho quite disappointing for a MMO fan like me for a simple reason. Imagine people who doesn't like pvp (a lot in the SC community), imagine those who don't want griefing (almost all of em), imagine people who for geographical issues (did I say aussie?) will play in their national server rather than in the laggy-official-one with no one online in their tz...... all these different kind of people will have a chance to still play the game but not in the MMO being "forced" to survive in such an hostile environment such as EVE is or became.
Also the fact that Chris wants to offer a continually eveolving universe is a debatable "pros". Imagine if you have to continual patches, tweaks, rules changes, new features, balancing fix..... every 2 weeks! Man, that's just silly and annoying!
Also the recent updates on the insurance thingy...... it's blatantly weak and totally exploitable in a real MMO. So chances are 2: SC won't be a "real MMO" or we will have a totally pve oriented game cause pvp will be totally messed up.
All these things make SC a way different game from EVE and this is why the only proper answer to your question is that EVE won't die cause of SC. As we all know, there's only 1 entity in the world who can kill it, and it's called CCP
