EveTV, Kali1, 130000 subs, Band of Bloggers, New servers, PVP tournaments. Will this be the time us vets look back at the good old days?
With trinity on the way and factional warfare as well as new careers and much more...
Has beta finally come to an end?
Or are we the beta of EVE China? (Makes us pioneers which I think helps my proclamation.)
Can it get worse, or can it get better?
Will we loose customer service as we grow?
Tell me, is this the golden age of EVE?

No, too many new people coming in at once and they all want to change EO into UO.

I love EVE.
And I hope the new people that come in; adapt, and overcome. Not whine "NURF!!" so much it affects the DEV's.

judging by the tone of threads in the last few days it looks more like the want to change it to "The Sims in Space"

Also considering that fleet warfare is still a cluster of lag, highlighting ônew serversö as a huge change is faulty when the #1 problem with this game, fleet battle lag, persists to this day. All of this effort by CCP, all these new features, and at the end of the day, or this year, we will still have unplayable fleet battle lagà

My personal Eve golden age was probably two years ago, before subscription or "players online at one time" seemed to be the hottest frontpage news. There was true political intrigue, a billion ISK was a drooling lot of money, and an uber blob was 40 people. The only "grind" was moving from Obe to Gehi. A battleship meant something.
Too many people afraid to lose too much and doing too much whining about it now, imo.
I applaud CCP for their work, but I've just slowly seen the game drift from the universe it was when I began so many months ago. I still play to this day in homage to those early days; they were that good.
Come and get some! |

A very informative and well thought out post. But I disagree with the points you made on numbers 3 and 6. The implentation of nudist colonies would be a cool idea though.

I agree with madcap, the game now is good, but when there were fewer people it was better

I played the beta from day one to the day it went live. And I didn't go live with it. For alot of reasons. But I watched. And when I was ready eve was here and she was ready for me.
I came back last october and haven't regretted it yet.
Yes, fleet battles still suck. And it's really sad because they could be so damn cool. But that is a limitation of computers. You can only do so much at once.
This game in IMO is STELLAR in every possible way. CCP has done a great job forging a great game. There are limits, and stuff still isn't perfect, but they are trying hard, and thats more than just about any other game can say for itself. And they are doing so, without charging us for updates, and without putting in server wait ques. And without simply limiting the number of people allowed in a system at any given time. Even though doing so would save them alot of petitions and complaining.
And when it's POSSIBLE, they will do what it takes to get the computers needed to let us put 400 ships in 250km of space and fire at will. And on that gloriuos day, then eve will be in it's golden age. I almost wet myself just thinking about it.

nah.
I look back to the great northern war (Not the BoB one). etc..
When people in EvE came together for a common goal. Still dont know what it was, but thats the sort of thing I'll remember.
Also the Events like the Theft of the gallente Dreadnaught by the serpentis.

Couldn't agree more.. you just described exactly what I feel about Eve. I still dream of Eve once again being like this but I guess thats an era that will never return.

I fought in that war and I still, to this day have no idea why.

Working on that.... 
Seriously, people feel its easier to whine for changes than to learn how to avoid getting killed.

The golden age of EvE happened over 2 years ago, it was much more fun before the game went mainstream and got mutated to suit the masses.

I think we are past the Gold Age. If we compare Eve to The Roman Empire, we're at times of Hadrian approximately. Everything looks great and flourishing, but 1-st little symptoms of decay and demise are starting to appear.

Death means little anymoreààthatÆs where the issue lies.
Wallets are huge, jump clones are plentiful, insurance pays out too muchà..your ability to actually hurt your opponent is gradually being reduced.
The rules that protect the innocent (new players in empire) should not protect the prospectors or pirates
Risk v reward thatÆs what itÆs all about isnÆt it???? I read so a couple of years ago and it felt like it. Where is the risk now?
Insurance payouts limited by security status of area and actions.
Get concorded û no payout
0.0no payout (sliding scale for other security regions)
War dec on someone û lose your insurance rights (your going to war, who in there right mind would insure your ships) û people declared upon keep insurance for a week.
Jump clones û fine keep the ability to move across the galaxy, never cut the time, oh yes implants move with you when you jump.
Remove 10/10 complexes û now being farmed for isk. Or some how move there location and spawn times (just doesnÆt make sense that these guys wake up every day at the same time and take a pasting, IÆd have moved by now).
Sound harsh? It is out there in the wild west of the galaxyààor at least it use to be.

As was mentioned just above, non-combat staff is starting to be a really big problem in game. Industry is all but closed for the newcomers. Prices for T2 BPOs are insane and cut off everyone outside of the "club". Some T2 BPOs aren't for sale at all and are held by monsterous organizations which are closed to everyone except of the "chosen few". It all leads to the situation where Eve has less depth for the new ppl.
Interesting statistics would be to compare the average staying time in Eve like 2 years ago and now. I suspect that this time is actually getting shorter, as with developing their chars, new ppl understand that some aapects of the game are out of their reach forever.
