Eve has had pretty much every part of it upgraded to new technology more than once. Its actually not really much different in terms of tech than other much newer space games ive played. That, and the gameplay remains very different than most other options out there. (If someone has experience with Star Citizen or No Man's Sky that can tell us differently, please do so.)
I think SC will have a lot in common with eve. NMS is single player only so.... |

Lack of content....... we've had the same lvl 4 missions since 2003, sure they added lvl 5's, but what solo player ( most mission runners) whats to go to low sec (toilet bowl of eve) in a shiny ship and get nuted in a mission or ganked on the way there? plus skilling in this game takes way way way tooooooooo long Yea yea they added the serp (grind) event ....... last thing any normal person wants to do is grind!
The low sec missions are BS. |

Rek Seven wrote:Take out the players and EVE is a pretty dull game a - I think this is the fundamental issue.
The majority of people probably only play this game for the social reasons or because they have been playing for so long that they feel they have invested too much to quit. For new players this game simply doesn't offer enough over other sci fi games.
It's probably way past time that CCP start adding big new features instead of only improving existing parts of the game.
I mean as someone who joined mid flight and has been retained on and off, this games biggest issues are its core systems that enforce being sociopaths. I agree bigger changes are needed, but big changes on existing things means near total replacement. Not saying this is the answer but I feel like they haven't done too much revisiting of existing things. |

Folk could and did run multiple accounts simultaneously, adding to the active login numbers.
Managing multiple characters manually is a lot more difficult than when using aids such as isboxer, so perhaps a lot of those 'extra' accounts are now dormant, had the toons sold off or 'stripped' of skills?
meh, that was over a year ago now. Doubt it is still causing more decreases. The people who quit due to ISbotter being banned are already long gone. Doesn't account for the last month. |

The problem with Eve for ME PERSONALLY, is that is doesn't do either of these things very well. The battle system in Eve online is extremely boring, you lock targets and activate appropriate weapons / modules. Not very exciting just doing such a simple task. The cut scenes show space ships RACING through space at high speeds shooting and doing amazing maneuvers... but when you actually get to playing PvP, it's nothing like you imagined it before you played the game. It's a big let down really... I might be able to help you here Thomas. The drawback you are talking about is really an interface one. People are actually very lazy pilots in EVE. They set Orbit or Keep at Range and it's somewhat boring. Me, I'm a long range shooter so I need to be stable to hit small targets at long distances so my general speed in space is 0 m/s. Super boring when flying is your thing. However, that's little different than I am in WoW. A hunter that sends their pet and shoots from a single spot (when convenient) against a target. So, my style really doesn't vary and boring to a real pilot/mover. I'd suggest you actually pilot your ship. I've been doing this more and more, manually flying my ship in relation to targets. My latest thing is to 'gather' all my targets together by zipping around and getting them roughly in a 10km bubble then flying to keep them at an optimal medium range for my T2 Rails. I'm not setting Orbit or Keep at Range, I'm actually using the arrow keys to fly the ship... and it works. It's more work than just Orbit or KaR, but it's more fun, challenging and I take out my targets faster without all the target changing and Orbit/KaR commands. Try it, see if it helps you have a bit more fun. Maybe its matter of preferences, but I always liked to treat my shield tanked capstable battleships like a stationary battlestations really, and I never thought about doing missions any other way, it was the most efficient way back when I have done missions. And I had time to watch Dr Who series simultanously.  High sec is still fairly chill, low sec is action. Its more about pace of things and dangers than the combat itself.
Low sec is more chaotic than most of null sec. |

Perhaps the *biggest* problem is that so many EVE players are so eager to tell CCP what the "biggest" problem is - and 1000 players will provide 1000 *different* problems - all 100% sure that theirs is the "biggest" one..... yes and? My statement is still true. Eve has pretty much non-existence marketing and is largely unknown outside of it's own playerbase. Without new blood the game will invariably die over time. This is how the world works.
I see adds in my browser all the time. |

Please tell me where the guns are on a freighter. Most haulers have a whopping one gun... what is the point... |
