I think we are looking a a slow death for EVE.
The way it is going only the super rich ingam get the nice stuff and decent ship can not be constructed without a few million at least slap on a few T2 items and there you go passing the 100M mark quite quickly even for a cruiser.
The content that is comming out costs more and more and is only in limited supply yet it will own all other stuff out there.
The next tech levels (CCP has plans to some day go to tech level 7  ) will make noobs even less likely to be able to do you any harm will make for even longer trainig times and will in the end make starting this game a mather of buying a char (with real cash and risking to be banned) or playing a game with only one tenth of the content available to you.
CCP is moving more and more to worths a game where the elite (read the longest subscribers) are the once that have stand a fighting chance and the rest is just filling in their world.
I am sorry to say that it looks like CCP has been focusing to much on the making things bigger and thus more expansive and less on making more intresting things out there for the starting player. Starting a new account now means you will sit there training "basic" skills for at least a few months before you are able to fly a decent ship with average weapons. Most content you will never use because of the sheer time needed to train for it.
The next few tech levels the expansion of the mini professions and the training times that will inherently be involved in this will cause the game to die before it reachs it's tenth year.
Then again....
CCP has begun pushing players back into frigates more and more is finaly working on making PvP not so much a mather of DPS but more a tactical game. They might be able to turn around the curve they started on as long as they stop the tech level 3 stuff from comming in anytime soon.
The way it is looking now they are working towards a way for players to become highly specialized. A freighter pilot will most likely not be able to do research and hacking as well. A gun slinger will not be to skilled in missiles and visa versa.
Should they be smart enough to hold of on introducing a whole new range of weapons and or tools this could mean that soon, a noob can sit back knowing that training and specializing in one thing will actualy lead to something and will not just end him/her up on a dead end path because CCP decided that it is time to add a few months worth of training time to their chosen profesion.
What I am trying to say is as long as CCP realizes that there is more out there than the 1000b ISK possesing chars who lead a mega corp in a huge alliance, and that players in a lone frigate just wanting to explore space and shoot some roids from time to time (without being foreced into a corp/allicance) are there as well. And maybe even stop with introducing new mandatory skills like tractor beams and other needfull things, we might have a chance of keeping this game intresting for even the casual players.

Should you disagree with me, well I guess that is because I disagree with you. If you have a problem with that please feel free not to tell me. |

always makes me laugh when i aee anyone include a line like this in any whine about new content.
why is this any different from 6 months ago or a year ago or 2 years ago.
every single person who plays this game faced this, its not something that has just been introduced. if u opened your eyes u would see that the game is evolving at all levels. of course there is going to be more high end content as there are alot of people in the game looking for new challenges and new targets and the game has to cater for these people too.
every time someone makes an idiotic comment like the one u just did there are a raft of examples people can give showing how much EASIER and BETTER it is for players starting now than it has ever been. the only one i will bother using is, when i first started there were frigs, cruisers, indies and BS. no other class of ship at all. making money was harder so that gap between cruiser and BS was huge. did it stop me playing, did it stop me aiming for getting into that BS, did it stop me enjoying the game. no ofc it didn't.
every patch CCP add content that affects everyone at every level of the game, if anything there has been more content introduce to help lower skill point players this year than anything else. the next patch with what is being done with MK2 will actually make things better for newer players again as it will add alot of variety to tech1 frigs and cruisers meaning u can have a degree of flexibility and specialisation with no need to train for tech2 ships.
if eve is gonna be around in 10 years time it has to grow at all lvls not just at the bottom as keeping the vets happy and interested is as important as attracting new players, if not more so as the vets have already proved they are willing to commit to the game long term.

Not to be an evil pessimist, but I dont think Eve will still be around in 10 years. Maybe for a very small niche group of hardcore fans.
In 10 years, gaming technology will be so advanced (virtual reality, anyone?) that Eve would need to be completely re-done to catch the interest of players. They'll be hanging out in all those fancy games which give them the 'oooh' and 'aaah' effects.

Easy, we'll be flying in OMGWTFPWNROXOR titans on planets surface with guns that do 1 dps to every ship. Frigates will hit the 2000ms (with no fit) and will insta kills BS.
Cruisers class will be deleted. Instead we'll have:
- cookie giver ship (for whiners)
- AutoNerf Bat ship (this will spawn a robot GM, which will analyze the situation and decide to nerf to hell all ships cause one little thing seems to be over powered).
Oh and I forgot to talk about 2000km range missiles. That doesn't do damage.

actually if you read e-on after titans their scaling downwards... However 10 years is a long time in the tech world. 10 years ago.. 386s were the fastest thing available. We might be onto optical circuits by that time... 3d displays will probably be common and eve will have to adapt to that... although it would be really wierd.

Theres a slight diffrence between 10 and 2 years, 10 years from now we will hopefully we at tl5 
Of course, newbies will prolly start with 10 mill sp and a t3 velator by then

In 10 years there will be no Eve.
My guess is that this game will be closed in less than 5 years.

dead, abandoned, gone.
10 years, no MMO lasts that long these days, except for the giants of the genre. Eve is far from a giant.

Realistically, What will happen with t3 items and above, is that the requirements drop for items that are a tech level below. Thus, a player joining 10 years from now does not have a 2 year waiting queue to use a t3 Battleship etc etc

I honestly see EVE continuing a lot longer than some of the other MMOs that have about the same subscription-base size.
EVE has a pretty hardcore following, and, from what I've seen, that number has only been increasing over time.
As more and more people become sick of the super-easy cartoonish MMOs that are out there now, they'll start to look for something that makes you think a little. (trust me, I got a warrior and a hunter in WoW to 60 in a blink of an eye, and both had an I WIN! button...no thought involved at all, not even in PvP)
With CCP being an offshore corp with no real competitors at this point and offering a niche product with a relatively loyal following, I see them continuing as long as they are profitable. And if their numbers keep slowly increasing, that'll be for a long, long time.
The only real danger to EVE Online that I see is if another futuristic MMO offers a similar level of ship customization, and also offers things like customizable interface, in-cockpit controls, joystick flight, and being able to exit your ship and interact with others on the surface...
Well, I'd probably give it a try, at least..

Aye, set 100 years after the setting of Eve, with the factions,empires and history made up of the events in Eve 1.

A 10 year old piece of software is a nightmare to maintain. Changes take an age because of the unknown side effects that even a small change can have.
At some point it is easier to re-write from scratch. And, my guess is, this is what will happen to Eve.
Or the "newbies can't catch up" feature will put off new players from joining and Eve will die a slow death as the lack of new money slowly kills it.
Hopefully, the devs will spot if this begins to happen and start on Eve 2.

With the current speed of nerfing, we will be driving around on bicycles in 10 years, because the spaceships were too overpowered....

I dont think it will be around, maybe a totally new EvE similar to the way EQ2 is different and requires a new character over EQ1

Heh, all you people decrying the fact that new content is geared toward veterans and that new people "can't catch up" are missing one important fact - a smelly newb with a few hundred thousand SP can take down a 20m SP veteran if he equips specifically to face him. By comparison, can your level 15 Night Elf Warlock drop a level 50 Chaos Dwarf Poopweaver or whatever in World of Grindcraft, for example?

EVE will still be here in one form or another. Its a very open ended game, much like UO. Which is what makes it so great.
(And UO is nearing its 9th anniversary and still has a loyal fanbase.)
