No , this ain't another 'EvE is dying' thread. EvE was and is dying.
But I am curious. I went through my mails (say up to 6 months old) and i noticed how many pilots i knew and flew with went inactive. All from different corps (small/big, hisec/low/null, high/low SP players...etc.), some had RL issues (or just were too busy to play games) but most went inactive from 1 day to another never to be seen online again. So is it just me or did some of you notice something similar ? Is there a general cause that might get guys stop playing ? (a hisec bear might not be worried about the current state of nullsec)
To be on the safe side - in case you are bored / plan to take a break - can i have your stuff or at least ships ? "This is nothing more than a rumor with no basis of fact. Hope that's enough of a confirmation for you guys. :)" Coolstorybro

If you've noticed so many of your friends and corp mates going inactive, did you perhaps consider that you're the problem? Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari

Its normal ****. I went inactive 2 times and still came back. This hobby consumes much time, thats why it interferes with RL here and there. I for myself is very proud to tell people that I play Excel in space. |

Where exactly did i say they were my corpmates/friends ?
I must confess 2-3 pilots who i had a disagreement in the past might have found EVE to be less pleasant to spend time in, but that is a tiny fraction. "This is nothing more than a rumor with no basis of fact. Hope that's enough of a confirmation for you guys. :)" Coolstorybro

What made the game less fun for you ? Changed mechanics? Other guys you flew with leaving or something else ? "This is nothing more than a rumor with no basis of fact. Hope that's enough of a confirmation for you guys. :)" Coolstorybro

Was this around the time that the next expansion was revealed?
One thing I've noticed in MMOs is that players tend to leave the game a few months before a big expansion is due, they then return to the game once the expansion is released. I don't understand why this happens, only that it happens. My lord. |

There was a discussion on the wormhole subsection of the forums a while ago where a number of crops said that their member activity had fallen drastically in the past few months.
For me, there simply isn't enough new and exciting content being released, especially for wormholes space, so people are logging on less or unsubscribing until something good happens. Others will say that there is always a slump in activity during the summer... I guess only time will tell. |

hard to pin it down to anyone thing, just too much changed and most of it not for the best.
used to love the simplicity of just havin frigs cruiser and bs.
buzzin around lowsec as a -10 for years, untill FW and cap ships stopped all that being fun for me.
what really finnished eve for me was the war dec nerf a few year back, its never been the same since then, ive just kept the skills goin for goins sake. and i used to be a 16hr a day guy for years and years, now i just log in to do skills.
last nail in the coffin was-i went and checked out the keynote from fanfest, and the more i watched that tool hilmar the more i realised i aint payin that fools wages anymore to wreck my game

Personally I like to go with new things to do, which inspires new ways to do things. They need to get Crius released and I might bring back about 15 accounts, depending on its impact but at current state, of 28 accounts, I'm planing to keep only 4 active. Eve hasn't had anything truly new and fun that was meaningful in I can't remember how long. With nullsec becoming such a freaking safety donut, it just isn't the same. Rental empires are the root cause of all evil. |

CCP decided that being more mainstream would be awesome and started working on that (years ago actually), and now that everything IS more mainstream the initial customers (who made it all happen) stopped bothering because of it. Yes, yes-áI am. Thanks for noticing.
