today I logged in at 14793 online.....

I think the following might increase interest:

1) add more regions - more space needed, at least another 5000+ systems for the taking
2) limit corps to 75-100 members and alliances to 50 corporations, coalitions would be created, coalitions will dissolve, backstabs will occur. Everyone will have a fighting chance.
3) kill titans or make them stationary so that they serve a purpose of being a system defense structure rather then to move them about and use them in fleets.
4) eliminate jump bridges
5) 0.8-1.0 systems: no pirates/gankers allowed at all, 0.5-07 business as usual.
6) moon minerals should deplete on moons and respawn on different moons, which would encourage conquest. Each moon gives a random amount according moon size. Small moon = small amounts vs big moon = big amounts.
7) 30 day timecodes at 750m a pop would be nice to have :) equivalent to currency.
8) mining boats need a stronger tank so that they can withstand the pirate ganks in 0.5-0.7 systems.
9) old school sov wars where you popped towers was a nice thing, dunno if it can be brought back into life. but thats just me. Node wars did spread out the fights to several different systems, so I did not see any massive lags yet.
10) increase number of wormholes and add more WH bonus types
11) Drones should drop loot, same as other npc factions
12) risk vs reward, more challenging anomalies and signatures

also I heard about EVE from a mate who heard from a mate who heard from a priest etc... So maybe more marketing would not hurt the CCP wallets. ****'s sale, World of Tanks has a better ad on TV then WoW. And if WoT can fight for their fanbase, dont see why CCP cant do it themselves as well.

One day last month I logged on there was just 1 player online, so EVE was dead.

Am I playing this doom and gloom end of the world stuff right?


Edit:

Yeah, there really was just 1

Provide proff or it didnt happen.
In all my time playing EVE, ive ever only seen this in the few mins after DT. Theres ALWAYS more then 1 player online, always.
Unless you are on SISI ofc, then its plausible.

ummm... stop people from multi-training on accounts and force them to reopen closed accounts to train their alt characters?



and yeah maybe you are looking at the wrong server since it's actually 21k avg for this month.
Maybe the remaining multi-boxers didn't count in your opinion?

btw I betcha Jita and Mir are the same person (some same posting history etc.)
friggen miners hah

Perhaps CCP needs to adapt to the modern market and stop trying to peddle a product that is quite niche.

1) add more regions - more space needed, at least another 5000+ systems for the taking
5) 0.8-1.0 systems: no pirates/gankers allowed at all, 0.5-07 business as usual.

We're not here to play a modern market game. Games that change to get a different type of player, fail.

I was thinking there's some validity to that statement about wider appeal. I made a suggestion about offering a real money prize for the Alliance Tournament, funded by vanity or special edition item sales. I agree with the statement about mainstream appeal because current tournament prizes are in-game items which to an outsider are unappealing for being part of a closed system.

Offering real money is superior because real world currency is something everyone can relate to.

EVE could stand to be more relevant, and a great way to do that is offer tournament prizes that outside gamers and non-gamers can understand.

Holy hell lookat those prices.

So much free to play competition, and some aren't pay to win.

Monthly fee is the problem IMO.

EvE is pay to win, or you meant that some free to play are pay to win?


I'm not playing any other MMO, WoW is 15 euro/month. Anybody know other MMO with monthly subscription?

For someone that wishes to make monthly graphs and use the magic crystal ball even more
