You know I've never seen an actual income statement from CCP or SSI. I have no idea how much money EVE really makes, I can do the math like everyone else, but that doesn't meen that I'm right on.
Today some guy gave me 3 XeCl beams and 2 Altered-SS CE because he was quitting. Anyone else who quits can direct their leftovers to me. Eve will be here for a while and so will I.
...I will say this though, where was the advertising, there should have been more advertising. Its a good premise and excelent execution despite the bugs, it just needed more advertising.

regardless of all the problems etc...
i still want to see this game go on, and stronger, its my first MMO and hmm i really will not go to any other MMO if this one dies... ill just go back to the good old FPS games were i can get some cheap thrills every few hours...
btw if this game doesnt make it and there is ever made anything like eve, you can count me out, because i dont want to go through something 2nd time, i would be a fool to do so.
support Idea: QuickInfo an alternative to ShowInfo

Eve is a serious game, I appreciate the game very much. I have been playing less than two months and have had few to no problems like pvp and griefers. Common sense and intelligence prevail in the Eve universe. CCP only lacks in customer support and quicker response time on problems.

Well, I am certainly surprised that this thread hasn't devolved into flaming. Of course, it's likely that the recent enforcement of the never-before enforced rules have something to do with that.
Anyway, I've been with EVE since Beta 1, and I like the idea of EVE. I like the idea of a space game, but EVE has a long way to go.
And the customer service stinks.

Whenever I've been online there have been around six-hundred people on Jupiter, just under five-hundred on Saturn and Uranus plus around four-hundred on Pluto.
Likewise, Thanatos has stated that the company is doing well as well as mentioning, several times, that the actual amount of Subscribers is well in advance of two-thousand, five-hundred.
If Neocron is dead then it will blow peoples' socks off when it's ressurected.
I've been playing Neocron since December.
Uranus hasnt broken 250 players since january.
Jupiter hasnt broken 550 in that time, and is generally from 400-500 these days.
Saturn rarely goes over 400, norm is 350.
Pluto is same as uranus.
Also, it's only been retail for 10? months, so dont quote years.

Going to risk a massive flaming now, but here goes...
I bought Eve on the basis of reading some info, looking at some gaming boards and generally thinking 'oh this looks good', went out and bought it, knowing full well that it will be buggy, crash and do all sorts of weird things - but as it's a big muti player online evolving game what more do you expect?
So no one has bought a shoot 'em up and it's bugged? The game is developing and as such will have bugs - how many of the whiners use MS products - do you complain to MS as often?
If you encounter a bug or some 'product enhancement' you try and replicate it, if you can then you report it, you don't just go "oh, this game is buggy and I've wasted my money", if you have that idea then go buy a PS2 and stop moaning!
I hope that Eve will go on for a long time, and hopefully get the player set they are looking for.
Oh well...

Well i've been playing the game for a year now. I started in the beta and it was good then. Its even better now and once CCP figure a fair way to introduce new techs in accross the universe then I'm sure it will get even better.

Well afaik its still in the Top 10 in Game Shops in UK. Not all mags reviewed it as a bad game. You can't play this game and review it in 1 day so that makes the reviewers ****s imo. If any read this bite me! I hope it gets stronger. BTW yestaday i seen over 5k playing so to me its still similar to 4 weeks ago

Wow, according to http://pw1.netcom.com/~sirbruce/Subscriptions.html EVE has nearly 45k subscribers...if that's correct it's great.
"Eve Online (Confidence Rating: C)
At this time, an unverified press report claims that Eve Online has some 45,000 subscribers. While this number seems high, it is not unreasonable given the peak concurrent numbers of players on the servers every night. http://www.eve-online.com"
But I think around 30k is a better guess...and some people has said 20k (only people who doesn't like eve, though).
Anyway if eve has 30k subscribers that's $390.000 EACH MONTH, and that's...enough I think.
I mean, CCP started with $2.600.000. And with that money they developed eve for many years.

My two cents:
As long as 20,000,000 isk is still selling for over $250 US on eBay and other virtual product sales sites then I think we can safely admit that the game is doing fine.

All times(literally.) In 10 months of daily playing, at all times, I have NEVER seen the numbers you describe.

I believe this game will last a long long way past Christmas but only if we remain considerate, consistent, and mature in our approach to the management of the game and the problems emerging.

People selling game money on eBay actually help the game in their own twisted way.

CCP shoulda launched an ad campain like SOE did with SWG. StarWars Galaxies had a worse release then EVE and its doing very well.

Eve has a problem and few people want to admit it yet. I'm fairly certain something along the lines of what happened at The Station and SOE/Verant is not far away. The difference being that CCP does not have the funds nor playerbase to survive what happened there.
I mean its like you want corporations to oblige each other like its sex or something. Pffft I would rather **** my enemy.- Rohann

SWG had a hy00ge playerbase to tap into before release.
EVE didn't.
SWG uses a recognised, famous universe.
EVE doesn't.
And so on...

I have heard they may be bunching EVE up with new PCs in some sort of OEM deal...which can only be good. If judging by people I work with who spend ú2000 on a new PC only to surf the odd website and play ChampionShip Manager4 plus all the "free" games you get with the PC. Eve could be around for a while.

Ask anyone why the Station forums got the monicker "Whineplay".
