In other words, fear mongering solves nothing.
It's not fear mongering. It's just idiotic failpoastings. Weird huh ? Yup.

Is there any way you try to track 'unique' subscriptions? (do we have more people with alts but less people playing) ?
Do we have less people willing to subscribe but more wealthier obsessed (lack of a better word) purchasing plex with $$ and thrifty in-game people buying them with isk for their subs? |

I wonder if this "back to school" phenomena affects other games as it affects Eve right now. When I log in World of Tanks for example, it does not feel like there are less players connected to WoT then usual. It even feels numbers have slightly raised in the past few weeks. Different type of player profile maybe? |

Good idea.
They're doing this tomorrow on their twitchtv channel.

It works like this:
EVE is dying
Therefore give me exactly what I want right now
Or I will keep yelling that EVE is dying

More like this:
- I am not having fun in this game (for various reasons and most likely it's my own fault)
- Therefore it is impossible that anybody else could possibly have fun in this game either
- Maybe I had more fun if CCP changed something to make my playstyle insanely powerful
- Then everybody else would have more fun, too
- If they don't do it, I might quit and everybody else will, too.
- Eve is dying unless CCP un-nerfs TEH DRAEK !!111
Just think of how bad an average post by me is, and then realize half of them are even worse |

True, on both counts... but right now CCP is getting punked by a variety of more exciting game releases. Which is also where alot of those college kids are spending what little free time they have.
If there was ever a time to shine, CCP, the upcoming winter expansion had better be it.

I was looking for a way to create a stealth "EVE is dying thread" in order stir-up players in support of WIS.
It seems that activity on tranquility is declining again if you look at the "all time" graph
Posting feigned concern in GD about the dip in player activity we always see at this time of the year might just work.
I know that eve-offline isn't the perfect indicator of where EVE is going. But I am curious as to why this may be the case.
I know the numbers don't actually support the argument, but I'm going to make a thread anyway and see if I get any bites.
FYP
How long do you suppose until we see the next "Star Citizen is going to kill EVE" thread or post, stealth or otherwise?
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'Hodor'. |

I think you can install WOT with limited security on other computers.
Such as, in a lab in university =P.
