Hyoid	Posted - 2006.11.16 12:51:00 - [31] Eve will die if EA ever gets their greedy paws on it. Renember Earth&Beyond
Nullity Gallente	Posted - 2006.11.16 12:56:00 - [32] I swear, there's some automatic machine that posts a new "When will EVE die?" or "When will EVE 2: The Reckoning come out?" every week. The answer is always the same. It'll die when people stop playing, and the cause of death is most likely not going to be an EVE 2 dividing the fan base (EVE will always evolve, there's no need for a second.).
Shanur	Posted - 2006.11.16 13:23:00 - [33] Originally by: Hyoid Eve will die if EA ever gets their greedy paws on it. Renember Earth&Beyond QFT. I'm an E&B refugee as well. It's the only MMORPG i have seen come by that was actually discontinued by its publisher. Heck! Even Horizons is still around! (but i am not sure about Shadowbane. Maybe that one is dead too). What is all this talk about SWG being dead? I don't remember seeing SOE pull the plug on the operation. Of course, that might be my definition of dead = servers shut down with no way to play the game anymore. A game with such horrible features it has only a single server with a hand full of people on it isn't dead, just terminally ill .

Epictetus Minmatar	Posted - 2006.11.16 13:41:00 - [37] Originally by: Mary Wan It'll die when there's a drastic hp increase that results in the death of solo/small gang PVP and when all PVP is done in blobs... good thing that'll never happen It wont kill Eve, it just risks killing eve for all the people specialising in that part of the game (probably not more than 30k or so). Im worried that the only thing i love doing might be impossible soon. But im sure it will enhance the gaming experience of others. Click here to visit our site

There is no EVE 2, just EVE. so point 6 on my list will never happen well that means EvE will not die becouse our lovely DEVs create an oter EvE for Holodeck
Tornan Minmatar Oberon Incorporated Prime Orbital Systems	Posted - 2006.11.16 14:25:00 - [41] 10 years huh, thats a lot of **** skill points. Clones are going to be insanely priced. I imagine all the content being thrown in with Kali this month and the upcoming ones could be "eve 2".
Hoshi DAB RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2006.11.16 14:54:00 - [42] The difference between EVE and most other mmorgps is that in others they scrap the old one after a while and then start a new (or run the parallel). In EVE on the other had they keep upgrading it gradually until it for all intent and purpose becomes EVE 2.
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.11.16 14:55:00 - [43] Sometimes when developing things, its easier to start off fresh and build from scratch though. But when its something as complex as Eve, I doubt it would make things easier. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate

This game will die when there is an good alternative for it. 2. A game With decent customer support and no sudden changes that directly hit your real life moneh... Best alternative will be : X MMO version ( like X3 reunion ) still not got round to play that, i bought it flew around and was like, i cant play this what the f*** do i do on it Sig removed, you sig was too ubber to display and ccp had no choice but to nerf it - CCP(NERFBAT)

Taedrin Gallente Mercatoris Technologies	Posted - 2006.11.16 15:44:00 - [49] Let's go off on a small tangent for a moment. EverQuest is considered the first MMO to popularize the genre. True, there were MUDs before, and Ultima Online, but EverQuest was the first MMO to truly bring the genre out into the open. EverQuest began in 1999, or something like that. Now, people have been saying that EverQuest will die for many, many years. "DAoC will kill EQ!" "WoW will kill EQ!" "EQ2 will kill EQ!" etc etc etc... Yet for some reason, SoE still continues to crank out expansions for the game, which implies that people still buy them. EQ will be going on 8 years soon, and it's still alive. I expect EVE to live just as long. However, EVE doesn't have the same number of players that EQ did in it's prime (I think 600k subscribers?), but on the other hand, EVE really doesn't have any competition - being the only Sci-fi, space sim MMO. Plus the open ended content that EVE provides is hard to find anywhere else. In conclusion, EVE will not die unless: a) EVE loses it's player base and b) EVE gains competition, and fails to provide new content.
xDow	Posted - 2006.11.16 16:05:00 - [50] What would happen if the DB server and all the backups was destroyed somehow? Total wipe of all chars and items... Would you still play? And to stay on topic, I don't think EVE will go away anytime soon, these fellas seem to be sharp and makes good choices so EVE will be around for a long time!
Kyguard Fire Mandrill Astrophobics	Posted - 2006.11.16 16:12:00 - [51] Eve will die when hamsters become extinct === It's great being Amarr, aint it?(tm) [Insert badass sig to match ego here]
Agent Li Galactic Defence Consortium	Posted - 2006.11.16 16:15:00 - [52] If and when they do something stupid like Star Wars did, and change the game mechanics so that anyone with more than a brain cell decides to quit playing. Although I hear people complaining here, I get the impression from sheer numbers logged on that they are being pretty careful about ganking their own game mechanics to the point where people leave en masse.
Spaja Saist Gallente Knights of Retribution	Posted - 2006.11.16 16:18:00 - [53] I predict eve will start to die after Kali. Too many bad design changes and the Dev's no longer seem to listen to their player base. CCP is starting to act the same way SOE did.
Aieran	Posted - 2006.11.16 16:24:00 - [54] Why must we talk about such sad, sad things? You realize you're wasting precious ISK making time speaking such blasphemous things. Not to mention why not try ENJOYING the game by PLAYING it instead of discussing how and when its going to die? Just seems kinda odd to me

Too many bad design changes and the Dev's no longer seem to listen to their player base. CCP is starting to act the same way SOE did. Oh, I see. Let's not make any changes after you've figured out the best way to gate camp...
Thor Xian Vertigo One E.A.R.T.H. Federation	Posted - 2006.11.16 16:44:00 - [56] Originally by: Zeknichov Originally by: Spaja Saist I predict eve will start to die after Kali. Too many bad design changes and the Dev's no longer seem to listen to their player base. CCP is starting to act the same way SOE did. EVE is successful because CCP does NOT listen to the MINORITY of their player base. Kali has only one bad change to it and that's the HP increase. It has good merit to it and I have faith CCP will eventually fix the problems surrounding it. It also has warp to zero, so at least two bad changes. ~Thor Xian, Material Defender "Victory is the weakness of the enemy." "It is better to die by my Autocannon, than to live for your Veldspar."
Mastoras Caldari Finis Lumen	Posted - 2006.11.16 16:53:00 - [57] Ok EVE will be around for a LONG time. Theres really only one thing that will shorten this span, and that is competition. Quite frankly im suprised there is not many if any space MMOs. The only competition EVE ever had was Earth and Beyond (which is my favorite mmo of all time). To this day it baffles me as to why those stupid dumbasses at EA decided to close it down. There are SO many MMOs still running that just dont make sense they are around, yet EnB gets hacked. After EnB sunset, EVE got a wave of new players from EnB, because quite frankly, there was NOTHING in the space MMO to go to from EnB. So basically thats that, in that time, now 2 years, there is still NOTHING to compete with EVE, and so of course as of now there is no way anything can slow it down in that genre. Star Trek Online is the only other Space MMO in production that seems it might put some competition to EVE, but thats about it. So i think its safe to say, EVE, is in good shape.
The Enslaver Shinra Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.11.16 16:57:00 - [58] I would realistically estimate at least 15-25 years. The sort of game EVE is means that it continually evolves, rather than get's replaced by a less popular sequal (see: EQ2, etc). So yeah, expect EVE to be around for a long time... And to get a lot bigger. -------- It's great being Amarr, aint it?
Gone'Postal Minmatar LuthorCorp Combat Division	Posted - 2006.11.16 17:01:00 - [59] The game will outlast the servers.. but unless they do some **** fine re-coding adding more hardware will be a bi-monthly thing. The man without a face... The company without a clue.
