I doubt EVE is dying. ALL games lose subs over time, and then gain subs...then lose subs. It just happens. As for the disconnects, they labeled them as attacks. If EVE is getting cyberattackedDDOSsomethingorothered (I know crap about that stuff) then I'm guessing they can't predict it.
And personally I have not lost a ship to disconnects nor do I know someone who has.
As for "lack if content"...I wouldn't know. I live in Catch and its pretty busy where I'm at and seems to be getting busier all the time.
If you get bored just go find ways to make the game fun again. |

Maybe where you are - here all schools and college/universities have been back in session for a few weeks now. And I believe Fall officially started one or two days ago. CCP .. always first with the wrong stuff CSM .. CCP Shills with a vacation plan

Unless you are in the extreme latitudes of the north/south the weather overview for the world still pretty worthy of having a picnic.
And the bugs outside disagree with the official season. I got skulltulas (orb spiders) bigger than my thumb outside eating everything with wings! Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

I have heard the Vatican is investigating CCP for a violation related to necromantic arts. The argument is that EVE Online has been dead so often while still being 'alive' that it could not be so without use of arcane forbidden secrets to give it a semblance of life, i.e. keeping it in an artificial state of unlife. According to a statement of the head inquisitor on this case, we, the players, are all victims of a complex enchantment involving heretical wizardry.
CCP Falcon, I hope you have a statement prepared as those are some serious allegations. Sovereignty and Population New Mining Mechanics |

According to all you chuckleheads, EVE has been dying for nearly 12 years. With the condition she's in, right now, whatever she's dying of is going to take another 50 years to finish her off, at this rate. The facts are since I have been playing in 2010 eve has not gained, but lost players every year. Players can't even stay connected to the game for more than a couple hours at a time for 2 months now, see https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=374966&find=unread.It won't be long before pvpers like me won't stand for taking ship losses every single play session for months due to CCP's relaxed attitude to the game breaking connectivity issues. We have been experencing this for several weeks now without any compensation or any real commitment to fixing the issue, if that's not a sign of eve coming to an end I'm not sure what is. Sure there are plenty of people that sit docked, troll the forums, or just manage their skill queues that won't care; but when people can't pvp and actually play the game without constant disconnects there is a real problem. Instead of CCP hiring network technicians to make sure their players can actually use the service they pay for, they are laying off, or not paying their devs enough to keep them from moving to other game companies.
No disconnect here in the last 2 months. So please tinfoil whine more but it aint all CCP's fault... Personal channel: Crazy Dutch Guy

Instead of CCP hiring network technicians to make sure their players can actually use the service they pay for, they are laying off, or not paying their devs enough to keep them from moving to other game companies. Possibly because there is no issue CCP can fix. You know, it not being anything to do with their server code. Quit your whining in every thread, the disconnects aren't that bad. Is it sometimes annoying, sure. Might you loose the odd thing, sure. Do you loose something every single time.... If the answer is yes you are doing things wrong already. Then why would they say this "Our teams have been working tirelessly to address these attacks, but by their nature they are extremely difficult to predict. We will continue to counter these attacks as they occur, in our efforts to provide you as much uninterrupted internet spaceship fun as possible. " In the post I mentioned if there was no way to fix or counter this issue? They simply don't have enough network technicians to address this problem. Instead of hiring more they are laying off countless employees. They expect that mindless players like you will keep playing regardless of this game breaking issue and you probably will. However active pvpers like me that play the game every day likely won't. Also if having a criminal timer is playing the game wrong, I don't want to know what carebear way of playing you think is right. I pvp I don't sit docked or press f1 in a nullsec blob.
No matter how many technicians you have, you still cajt predict an attqck on your sedver and thus it wont make a difference.
But you are clearly too stupid to understand that from the CCP post where it clearly states that already.

Banning Erotica1 killed the fun for many people. It destroyed one of the key differentiations between Eve and all the other MMOs out there.
It just seems to me that there are fewer stories about heists and villainy these days. Eve is turning into a generic MMO.

and the bans for other people that were just blanketed with "irl harassment" as a reason.
and the titan bumping bans.
it seems any effort to actually create content has been met with bans, lately. when content is player driven, banning content creators seems very counterproductive. |

I only found 7 piles of dog ***** at the side of the road this morning, that means people are owning less dogs per head than last year.

I hope EVE has huge PvE content expansion prepared for this or next year (like WiS or new type of space with procedural encounters and systems generation) - otherwise present 3 space quasi-MMOs + 1 MMORPG will continue to devour EVE player base because the only distinctive feature of EVE - territorial tribal warfare - isn't that interesting to the most players while everything else can be found in subscription-free games.
P.S. One of the games will have real exploration in just 1 week (though it's still in beta). |

I'd say it's because of the hardcore players getting their voices heard a bit too much.
By now we could have had a functioning Incarna in place which in my opinion would have opened up EVE to alot of players who prefer to have avatar based interaction.
In the beginning hardcore fans were useful but now they only bring drama and butthurt feelings if CCP aren't creating the game THEY want to see, which is a very conservative, outdated game.
It's sad to say but hardcore players are destructive and EVE would be happy to see them gone. Subscribers pay for EVE, not those salty basement dwellers that play 18 hours a day.
EVE needs to evolve and if the hardcore fans disagree again like they did with Incarna they can go back to playing runescape 18 hours a day and bury themselves alive with pizza boxes in their moms' basements. |

Not sure Eve is dying but I would be interested in how many ( if noticed) accounts have been unsubbed due to Somer blink being shat on from great height by a spineless ccp.
As an avid player I have noticed many of my blink friends no longer log in at all. |

I hate replying to troll threads. However, there is some real stupidity in this thread. According to the graphs the OP quotes, the average log in counts over the last month are similar to those in mid 2011. How many other games have the same number of players logging in now as they did 4 years ago? |

Most interesting response to the 'ol EVE is dying thing. Also, I think the amount of alts and multiple-account players are dropping rather than the amount of players in general. And yesterday there player count was somewhere near the 38K mark, which is not bad for an early week day. |

Every year at fanfest, CCP sacrifises a virgin to the volcano gods and allow EVE to stay alive for another year.
They never have a hard time finding someone to sacrifise at fanfest. BoBwins Law: As a discussion/war between two large nullsec entities grows longer, the probability of one comparing the other to BoB aproaches near certainty. |
