Anyone can make a lot of promises. Delivering on them is harder.

So what you are saying is that you have a thing for poop and corpses? Since you are playing both EVE and WoW.

So you're saying you think EVe will die if fewer people play it.

If they just stopped developing EVE completely... no new undock buttons, no new spacebook or launcher glitter, just none of this great development any longer I'm sure people would still play it. People who have part of their lives invested in the game for instance, though others may have second thoughts when PLEX is 2b ISK because there are no new players because other games have moved in on the space sandbox niche.

Just tell your self one thing, with all the hot drops in eve don't you think CCP would hot drop Star Citizen when it comes out, instead of showing off how much titans and mother ships they actually have?

Christ Roberts is a rookie in MMOs, it does not take a 10 million dollars budget to do a good lasting online universe. It takes knowledge and experience.

Ya SC is not even out, i love how different this makes them

When star trek came out eveyone fretted over the decimation of the eve population as all us "trekkies" would fly to the new game leaving the last 4 players on eve.

Reality....

A few folks went and tried it.
They returned.
Announced "ST sucks, stick with eve."
The rest of us never missed a step.

If Star Trek can't pull us from EVE as it has the largest worldwide commercial name then i think EVE Online is perfectly safe. Hell, eve star wars didn't make a dent in this puppy. If anything what is occuring is that eve players try the other games and tell them if they want to play a real space game to come try eve.

There is your reality check.

For it start it's been stated many times Star Citizen isn't an MMO by Chris Roberts.

So i dont really know how you can compare?

This is why CCP Seagull gave a blue-sky presentation at FanFest: to remind the players that CCP still has the same huge, crazy dream for their universe.

Also, how could people say SC doesn't compete with EVE? Are you from CCP? They probably don't think PS4, BF4, CODwhatever, competes with DUST. Their opinion is pretty much invalid at this point.

Why can't people play both games?

What I find funny is how some (not all, I say some) people affect a tone of "CCP better change Eve to appeal to the masses or it's screwed".

It'll be a fun game I'm sure, but the tone above I find very childish.

Everyone said SW: TOR has potential, given that it was made by the (former) kings of RPG, Bioware. That went well.

If Chris will try to make a variant of EVE, he will fail hard. If he'll try to make a space simulator similar to Freelancer, he might succeed - but he won't be endangering EVE with it, as the only thing the games will have in common is space ships. That's all there is to it really.

I'm very happy for you but that was not the point I was making.

I've got no interest in SC if it doesn't have a harsh death penalty, is fully sandbox, has a robust player driven economy and time based skill training (i hate level grinds).

Its likely not to have all of that, so I really don't care.

If it somehow kills Eve (which I seriously doubt), then I'll find something other than video games to fill my time. Maybe do more fishing.

I think if Eve crashes and burns, it'll be more likely due to something like microtransactions.

With no artificial limits in place to make fights "Fair" and asset losses being permanent it also features probably the most fun PvP.

Comparing Star Citizen and EVE Online, as many people said here is a bit like comparing apples and oranges.
