Just stumbled upon a new SciFi MMO being created called Event Horizon, now I know it's actually quite the meme, especially in regards to World of Warcraft, but let's face it, eventually game killers are released!
http://www.eventhorizon-online.com/ It happened to UO, it happened to EQ, it will happen to wow, and it will happen to Eve.
If this thing actually makes it out the gate, how do you feel it will effect Eve? |

It looks like it could be a solid MMO, but by the looks of it, it's only in the crowdfunding stage on... Indiegogo?
While I am curious about it, I think Eve has some time lol
edit: and honestly... who here doesn't want to see wow fall  |

Uhhhh, me. WoW expertly fills a market demand for a low personal requirement, variable participation, shallow learning curve game. If WoW actually does fail it would be like Coke or Pepsi going out of business; there would be a systemic underlying problem with the entire industry.
WoW serves a lot of purposes within the MMO gaming space and honestly I could write a thesis paper about the topic, but needless to say I hope it stays around for a long time.
Back to the OP: The reason EVE will never die is due to one very strong word: Investment. Playing EVE requires an investment in time, energy and ISK. People who have played for a few years will be extremely leery of dropping all that investment to go do something else.
That's my situation. I've quit EVE several times just to realize a couple months later how much time and investment I've put into my characters and then I find an excuse to come back in order not to squander the last 9 nine years of skill training and ISK earning.
People will hear about it and try it out, like they did with Perpetuum, but then they'll be back in New Eden before long. |

That game looks like it missed its original release date of 1993.

It's a glorified pitch, a step up from a concept.
I'll raise an eyebrow if it sees a full release.
Imo the only thing that could kill eve is ccp, which they might do, they might not, but I don't see it being killed by another mmo.

The future flop that is Star Citizen will kill Kickstarter and any other attempts at a Space MMO.
EvE will live forever by default.

Eve will never die.
There is an old old saying, "old soldiers never die, they merely fade away"
Eve will either in some way retain it's youth, and learn how to encourage people to have fun, or will simply fade, until one day someone says to you, "didn't you use to play eve! That was cool "
There is one EvE. Many people. Many lifestyles. WE are EvE |

EVE killer? I doubt it.
EVE alternative? I can see that.
Not being one of the fearful fanbois sitting in a corner muttering, "Only EVE, only EVE", over and over, I look forward to any potential space game release. Yes, they may be vaporware right now, but one can always hope.
It's a big big world folks and less than half a million of us play this game. That leaves A pool of six billion or so to play another space game without having any effect on this one. So you can stop attacking any idea that's not EVE. You'll still get to play your game no matter how many other games in the same genre are produced.

It's not about a product just being shut down. The problem lies in the MMO genre being infected with stagnation, I mean look at Star Wars, Wildstar, Elder Scrolls and all the other ones out there, they're all clones!
If this thing launches, and holds true to their philosophy and can actually make some of these new things like player police, player created content...and players voting on punishments? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! It's amazing! |

I will say that my point was not that they will,
more they would have to fundamentaly **** up on an extremely pervasive level to kill eve ,
I don't see anything short of that or dinsdale getting his way actually making much of a dent.

Im still waiting for Hangar Offline / P2W Fishtank / How Do I Dogfight the Module Online to kill Eve.
This MMO will just have to get in line.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

No, i'm sorry, nothing will 'kill eve' except ccp or us.
The pretty looking pryimid scheme wont kill eve, nor will this one.
However, competition is a good thing. So bring it

Seriously, from taking a look at that mediocre website, that game looks more like a poor attempt at an EVE clone than a serious attempt at an EVE killer. Just look at the FAQ, half of those questions would be perfectly describing EVE Online
