Thrill of the hunt was nice in my opinion. A pitty that it didn't have the desired outcome as you hoped for.
In my opinion the thing that would potentially cause people to come back is when game play is such that people would want to play. They would want to login because the goal they set before them is giving them pleasure to work at. This is what a game should do right? I see on the forums many people being frustrated with certain aspects of the game. If you login to a game and it is not contributing to a pleasurable experience, would you login again? Just as an example, look at afk cloaking being used to grief some nullsec systems. So many despise this game style yet, CCP say it is a style of playing they allow and are happy with. Yet, it only satisfies the cloaker. Often a single person. And he is the cause of many not logging in. I have seen corporations renting space paying many billions to their land lords. They rent 2 systems which they can manage. 1 or 2 cloakers sit afk for weeks on end in their systems. Occasionally they hot drop the renters causing fear that at any moment they can do this again. So the corporation members opt not to play EVE while the griefing is going on. They start playing other games like ARK, WOW etc etc. Even the comms are saturated with these other games. Different time zones allow sometimes only 2 or 3 people to be online at a time. They cannot stand up to hot drops or even attempt to retaliate. How is this conducive to positive game play when it only serves to make 1 or 2 people happy and many others don't play EVE as a result? There exists no mechanic that allows those renters to sniff out their camper and safeguard their rented space thus allowing them to play the game the way they want to. There has been many good suggestions from the player base to help balance this game style, yet CCP says, they allow this and its not going to change. You want people to login again. You want happy paying customers. You want the game to grow. But you chose to only listen to some and not others. I suggest you take a look at the forums again and see what your paying customers want. Else the ones you have will also dwindle into nothing. Word by mouth is a great marketing tool right? When people are excited about something, they tell every one else about it. And you grow your customer base without paying a cent for it. The same goes for the other side of the scale. Frustrate people enough and even what you have, you will lose. The future of the game is totally in your hands. A person has 2 ears and one mouth. Thats why you should listen more and speak less. Listen to everybody, not only some.
Take out the nerf bat and nerf some play style as well, not only ships and objects in the game. Surely you can see fozziesov as an example. Players have pulled it appart. And as a result, many numbers of people say, what the hell. Everything we have worked for can be obliterated in a flash. The scale is not balanced from what I can see.
I would like to see many more friends return to EVE. I long to see them again. I miss the friendships. The game has become somewhat lonely...
My 2c.
