EVE has lost a lot of players due to changes over the last year and while they have gained some, most of the gains will be short lived. Free to play brings in a different type of gamer, not the subscription type players that have keep things going for 10 years. In the end, I doubt they will pick up very many subscriptions. The player base is slowly getting smaller and smaller and new threads pop up on a daily basis with complaints of greefing and forced PVP. Not saying I agree with them...EVE is EVE....just saying that the player base has become like a snake eating it's own tail. Everyone who likes the darker side of EVE is already playing or has played. All the new players coming in for free who are used to games basically handing them everything they need with no chance of losing it, well, I just can't see them subscribing for any long period of time. Just my 2 cents! I hope I'm wrong.
I read basically this exact post in 2008. Again in 2010, 2011, 2014 and... Well, you get the point.
PS given that eve has had no compromise on all-zones non-consensual PvP for 14 years now, I think it might be time for you to accept that there won't be much shift on that point in the next 14.

But the problem is they have dumped so much money and effort into side-projects that didnt pan out.
As far as I know, there is no EVE 2.0 in the works.
And inorder for that to culminate in time, it should have been started years ago, when money was good, competition low, so as to be realized in the near future (~5yrs).
Enjoy it while it lasts.
We got a few more good years.
Depending on how you count it, we're playing EVE III or IV right now (EVE 8 or 9 if it was an EA game, or EVE 30+ if it was a Square Enix).

LOL , Oh Mal, ever the optimist . have to admit the way CCP is heading, things are changing and not for the good
I don't think Jenn was referring to my optimism about CCP.

Nope, but not likely for a few more years at least given CCP's public financials. Especially since this is the only game keeping CCP afloat cause they keep making moronic decisions about their other game attempts. (lol a console-only fps... brilliant.)
Uh it's not 2008 any more. Valkyrie and Gunjack have done pretty well.
