Eve is in a transitional period atm, and has been sence pretty much the WIS dibocal. (which was more complex then just incarinia btw.)
After that, ccp took a, safe approach and spent about 2 years working over older systems we wanted fixed. They did not add new content, which in tern had people complaining that they wanted new content (serisouly, you cna;t please everyone) Around 2013, ccp started shifting towards the future. Dust was launched, and was a success on the money side (it made profit) but form a technical where it wanted to go side, it was a failure. 2014 rolls around, and CCP decided to dump word of darkness and shift focus to fully the eve ip. They wrote off 98m that year (they did not actually lose 98m, as it was mostly a write off of stuff they spent priviously for tax poruposes) and we entered the transitional phase form old eve towards new eve. Stuff began to change.
Now, the number delining are multiple factors, from 1) changes people dislike. 2) people realizing they can now do more with less accounts. 3) anti broadcasting measures. But we are still in the mist of the 2014 vision. Valk is in early access and progressing nicely, nova should be progressing (green light the damn thing)
As for eve dying, the fact that with the release of skill injectors gave ccp the highest monthly revenue ever... means i doubt they are closing anytime soon. We have already seen the numbers bounce a bit form last year, and stableize, though wiuth summer comming i expect a dip. We should know more once the other structure changes and some other features are shown.
EVE dying? no. Chaning? yes. Will ti suruve the change and come out stronger? who the hell knows. But this thread is stupid. Because no matter which way you actually look at it, ccp as a comapny are healthy, and as long as they are healthy, eve is here to stay.
No matter what, i'll be here till they shut down all the servers, or i die. whichever comes first.
OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!
Yes i am optimistic about eve.. i'm giving it till dec 31st 2016 before i doom n gloom
