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?

edit: and honestly... who here doesn't want to see wow fall

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.

forum derp, nothing to see here.

Will "Event Horizon" have a JUKE BOX ???

Someone already said this but this is so true,

CCP will be what killed Eve Online.

It won't.

Needs to be an "it" first.

Indie projects have to start out somewhere.

Event Horizon is a sandbox MMO which means you are free to do whatever you want, however, in order to combat griefing we will be taking steps to dissuade unsanctioned combat within secure space.

Reading FAQs and ran across this:



Stopped reading at that point. .

it happened to EQ

OK. Let's start this.

First of all, I don't see any MMO on that page. I see a badly designed web page that's screaming 1990's all over the place (with a big beveled button on top and everything). There are so many great looking free Wordpress themes out there that having a page this bad does not have an excuse whatsoever.

Contact information on "Privacy policy page" says that the location of the business is in a rental apartment. I mean, come on... I live in Serbia where the government takes 78% (well, 78,5% to be more accurate) of whatever you earn and I still have enough to have a proper office as a self employed programmer.

Concept art of that ship seems to be made in Gimp or Fireworks. And it's called "Scimitar" (?) That's funny, because IndieGogo campaign for the concept started today and the first "devblog" was published yesterday and you can already see it in GD of EVE online. Judging by the description and what can be read now on that site, I can bet that whoever created the page is EVE player and there is a possibility that it's the OP (but that one I can't guarantee). I mean, come on... since the first introductory devblog is one day old and Google search for "event horizon online" lists links to online movie services where you can watch "Event Horizon" movie online, there's no way anyone got there randomly through a search engine.


Note to whoever created that page, because there is a possibility you are reading this:
- Wordpress is your friend even if it's just used for concept presentation;
- Responsive design is a standard for 21st century. You want your idea to be read and shared on all devices, not just computer screens;
- Twitter Bootstrap or Foundation CSS are your friends;
- Don't claim that you can support Oculus Rift when you don't even have offices or developers yet.
- As a business owner seeking for investors, you or your company are not listed on LinkedIn. In fact, neither the owner or the company is listed on the official Tampa, FL company registry;
- Never ever write "I" or in first person unless you are working on a personal project;

EVE killer? Hardly. You can get more concepts for a game from EVE's "Features & Ideas" forum, slap it on a Wordpress page, start a crowdfunding campaign and you are (apparently) good to go.

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 "and discover that it is still going, run out of a bomb shelter, behind the fish warehouse.
