That is honestly one of the most funny comment i have ever heard about.
Why would a game that is growing like no other in mmorpg history "be gone soon" ?
And why would anyone who is a bit up to date even consider posting about such nonsense here?

I'd say WoW will get the chop sooner than EVE. EVE is a niche game, its unique.. its not some watered down fantasy RPG.
Look at the MMOs that have gone bust in the past 5 years, they've all been EQ-clones. No, EVE is here to stay.

You don't purchase a new server cluster like they did if you are about to close down, it wouldn't make financial sense.

wait.. people still subscribe to PC Gamer? Damn.
I had the NA version for like 5 years back in the 90s. About the time they peaked on the size of their issues.
but one day I sat down and REALLY looked at it.
That one issue had 70% of the pages were advertisements, 15% were pictures and only 15% of the mag was actual text/info. And of that, most was reviews on horrible games.
cancelled the subscription, and never looked back.

EVE will probably not end until at least 2015.
It simply has so much going for it, and such a phenomenal growth rate. And the devs are not afraid to completely rewrite their own code to update the engine.

I've got that issue sitting in my car right now keeping my spare tire from squeaking.
But since you've brought it up, it doesn't say that eve is dead/dying. Read more carefully, it says something like MMORPG's that AREN'T dead.

If EVE totally stalls on additional subscriptions right now and holds constant for 12 months, they'll make $15 million in gross profits.
Given the game's growth, that number is probably going to be something more like $20 million for 2006, just from subscrip revenue, never minding account activation fees, portrait swaps, etc. etc. etc. That's also assuming China cluster doesn't come online in 2006.
If anything, EVE has another five years of solid growth ahead of it.

It actually wasn't "going to be gone soon", it was more like "everyone thought it was dead but it's still alive and kicking". Even so, I was surprised to see the game on that list. Not that it spells trouble for EVE, though, and don't forget that the same magazine only a few months ago published the story of Guiding Hand's coup over... someone (I forgot the victim corp's name  )... anyway, that brought a bunch of subscribers, so I think they're even where karma's concerned. 
That is all.

I know and play mmo's that are older than eve and have never passed the 2k pcu mark and thats not all on the same shard either and there still going strong. suffice to say eve will still be around until the dev's say otherwise unless they capitulate to the whiners that want everything easy.

Dude you sure you read that correctly cos Pcgamer and Pcformat both up Eve all the time. Some of their journos and editors play the game religiously iirc from past publications. its one of the reasons i took out a sub cos they upped it almost ever issue to some extent.

I would say that the magazine will close down decades before EVE.
EVE got too much posibillities yet, compared to the other stupid games like WoW. Not to mention this game won 4 awards this year at mmorpg.com, one of them where for best graphic if I recall...
That a magazine can speak such words shows us clearly how dubious that magazine is. Its definitely not what you can call serious gamer magazine.
EVE IS HERE TO STAY. SO AM I.

Eve is actually moving up too fast, so no its not going to die... if Eve was going to die it would have been in early 04, back when peak user record was what 6kish?
now all you damn people (~24k) are here just lagging everything!
Also remember originally there was suppose to be 5 Tech lvls.... whether CCP is sticking to that goal I have no clue, but after 3years we're still on 2....
CCP has also left PLENTY of content in eve for us to explore, when they're ready to release it(jove space + that other region)
Think about this... We are just now approaching all the features in-game that we're suppose to be originally released(see box). In those terms, eve is still brand new and hasn't even moved forward towards its new goals yet....
So yeah EVE is going to be around for quite a long time, and though we may come and go I generally see the populace of this place continuing to grow!(thank god for longer and longer skills to train while on vacations)

I think EVE has much longer legs than most of the larger commercial MMO's out there (WOW, SWG, EQII etc.) as their cost structure is kept under strict control (i.e. no commercial software needs to be shipped, marketing is relatively low-key). By keeping their costs in line, I'd say they are probably more profitable (as a percantage of gross income) than blizzard's ugly beast that people have to stand in line to lag in.
Controlling costs is the key. That, and positive word of mouth. Eve has both in spades.

Them Devs are way too addicted to EVE themselves, they have an urgent need to develop the game more and more cause they haven't even come to scratching EVE's potential according to them.
Point 2:
As long as EA-Games is being kept outside the door there ain't a single speck in the skies.
Start to worry when ya read from official sources that EA starts to participate in EVE.
Point 3:
If they consider closing EVE we will camp Iceland till they decide to reconsider.
We will all use rowingboats with launchers and pulsecannons painted on their sides and we will web any ship that wants to dock at Iceland.
No way they wanna let that happen.
So ergo, EVE has just barely taken it's first steps in the long long future still ahead of it.

hmmm yes, Iceland would be a very easy country to blockade, after everyone knows Eve is the primary income of foreign money next to fishing for iceland.*

I think EVE will die because most of it's players are (judging from the knee-jerk responses in this thread) illiterate. As has been stated, the OP read the mag wrong. It didn't say that EVE would be dying any time soon.

Eve will not go away, so long as it has such a devoted Dev staff, and infact I was commenting the other day to a friend of mine that I was surprised by the exponential growth. The fact that Eve has defied the typical plateau and die pattern is evidence enough that itl hang around for a while. I would expect that growth will continue in a positive trend for quite some time, due to their very good ad campaigns, and the constant content additions to the universe. And of course, with additional users come more devs, better equipment, and more expansions, which in turn bring more users, etc, etc, etc :).
Of course since it was stated that the starter of the thread misquoted, this post is just in aknowledgement of the survivability of Eve.

Stop the PC Gamer Hating, they only put EVE on a list of games that people may not realize are still up and running, and probably because EVE is sometimes confused with the now gone Earth and Beyond!

Just for people's information
UK PC Gamer is a big fan of EVE
- There is some positive commentary about EVE in EVERY single issue...
In their 'recommended' games by genre EVE has been one of the 3 recommended MMOGS for nearly 2 years now
PC Gamer UK re-reviewed EVE with the launch of RMR and gave the game 89%
The last issue of PC Gamer UK included EVE in its 'Best 5 games currently on release' list
The last PC Gamer included much positive commentary about EVE in a feature about the FUTURE of PC Gaming...

Me too. All US computer gaming magazines are garbage. PC Gamer isn't even the worst - Computer Gaming World is by far the biggest corporate toady sell-out among the so-called US computer gaming 'press'. I mean it's a joke to even think of these magazines as 'journalism'. How they rate a game is directly proportional to how much that game's producers paid for advertising. Luckily, the free market is at work here in the US, so the UK editions of various game mags are readily available at almost every big bookstore. So I guess capitalism is occasionally good for something. Now if only we could get German gaming mags - now the Germans really get into games in a hardcore way, so I expect their gaming press must be awesome.

Edge Magazine is the same publishers as PC Gamer UK and I have noticed the occasional overlap in their features. It is written in a much more 'grown-up' way but at the same time loses some of the enthusiasm displayed in PC Gamer.
EDGE also has too much console stuff for my liking - I still buy it though...
