J'Mkarr Soban Amarr Proxenetae Invicti	Posted - 2008.08.13 11:15:00 - [61] Well, given most games have their decline period within 5 years of their release, I think Eve is doing damned well, and can go for it. Actually being able to plug yourself in to your ship....mmmmm.... -- These are my personal views and in no way represent the views of Proxenetae Invicti, which maintains a neutral stance stemming from the strong ethics demanded of its work.
Steve Hawkings	Posted - 2008.08.13 11:51:00 - [62] Originally by: Rusted Seven Originally by: Steve Hawkings lol @ the people that say we wont be here in 50 years time, People said that 50 years ago, smile you miserable boys. Except 50 years ago they didn't have the possibility of runaway global warming that is now being unveiled as a greater threat from the slow decline in global dimming. Do some research. We'll be lucky if we don't have a die-off of a late Devonian level. All they had to worry about was nuclear winter. lol paranoid much ? I dont need to research, i hve multiple degrees one in envoironmental issues, no one can proove global warming is even being sped up by us.
Liz Laser	Posted - 2008.08.13 13:10:00 - [63] Eve-online will be the number one Reality Show on television. Network Newscasts will lead with Eve news. Juvenile arrestees will blame Eve when tried for ganking their classmates on the way to school.

Sheriff Jones Amarr Please Enter Password	Posted - 2008.08.13 13:24:00 - [65] Prof you forgot cake. My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.
Roc Wieler Freeform Industries	Posted - 2008.08.13 13:31:00 - [66] Yeah, unless within the next fifty years medical science advances to the point of extending human life dramatically, I'll most likely be dead due to health issues. Granted, even if I am still alive by medical science, I would wager I wouldn't be playing EVE. Not many 87 year olds out there that play MMOs, or whatever their equivalent will be. On the other hand, are five fingers. "Never start a fight you can win." - Roc Wieler
Zana McLizzy	Posted - 2008.08.13 13:32:00 - [67] What do I care if EVE is around in 50 years or not... I'll be dead and burried by then..
Niccolado Starwalker Shadow Templars	Posted - 2008.08.13 13:49:00 - [68] Originally by: Zana McLizzy What do I care if EVE is around in 50 years or not... I'll be dead and burried by then.. Well, CCP better add more skills, because I would have maxed them all before having passed 30 of those years i think!!!! Originally by: Dianabolic Your tears are absolutely divine, like a fine fine wine, rolling down your cheeks until they flow down the river of LOL
Jessy Jones Caldari shadow and flame	Posted - 2008.08.13 14:10:00 - [69] well theres no way im wiping corp mates arses and cleaning up there **** wen theyre 60!!!!

Sidus Isaacs	Posted - 2008.08.13 14:33:00 - [71] Originally by: Rusted Seven The worlds going to end in 2012 so I don't think eve will be around in 50 years. Yeah, right, lets trust some backwards indian idiots that can't even make a claendar :P No, EVE will not be here in 50 years. The world and society changes too much and too fast for that. I still think folk will be around tho, unless religion consumes us all and drags us down into another dark, nuclear, age.
Splagada Minmatar Tides of Silence Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2008.08.13 14:34:00 - [72] Edited by: Splagada on 13/08/2008 14:34:02 people still play diablo 1 after ~12 years why not eve? and why stop at 12 :D ------ Tides of Silence
J Kunjeh Gallente	Posted - 2008.08.13 14:35:00 - [73] Originally by: Grim Mercy In 50 years we'll all be jacked into some big computer thing... unless, of course, the Mayan long-count calendar does in fact prophesies the end of the world on December 21, 2012. As a side note, check 2012 on wikipedia for all the crazy intra-solar activity, especially later in the year. Lots of stuff happens that year that only happens every few, or few hundred, years... and all within months of each other. Actually, the Mayan long count calendar doesn't predict anything. It ends in 2012, that's all. And for most Mayan researches who have studied the calendars and the culture, it means a changing of the ages, not the end of the world.
5pinDizzy Amarr Umpteenth Podding	Posted - 2008.08.13 14:50:00 - [74] Originally by: Zana McLizzy What do I care if EVE is around in 50 years or not... I'll be dead and burried by then.. Can I have your future stuff? Oh and about 1980's doomsday etc... What doomsday stuff did they have in the 80's apart from nuclear war? These days we've got - Oil running out. Polar ice caps visibly melting. We're losing the rainforests at a rate of about 40 acres a day, and they are far smaller then they were in the 80's. Population of the world expected to climb to 9 billion in the next 15-20 years. Global economy is suffering. Chinas economy is exploding and munching up all the worlds resources around it. Unfortunately guys it's the nature of us that we'll screw ourselves because we're just dumb animals when you get down to it, no different to the humans that were around 1000 years ago. It's homeostasis in action, and as long as we live in warm comfortable homes and have happy lives we'll keep reproducing more and more until the environment can no longer take it and the balance is readdressed somehow, as that's what animals and nature does.

Rana Ash Minmatar Gradient Electus Matari	Posted - 2008.08.13 14:57:00 - [77] In 50 years EVE will be mandatory for all earth citizens, it will be the only MMO allowed. As CCP buys up all other MMO producers and introduces EVE Global Server..
krelak	Posted - 2008.08.13 15:26:00 - [78] If games haven't improved in 50yrs then I say the world should end.
libertarian cole	Posted - 2008.08.13 15:29:00 - [79] Originally by: Lord Zoran it doesnt matter we'll have real spaceships by then hopefully um we already have real spaceships..

Baron Erique Paxton Industries Paxton Federation	Posted - 2008.08.13 15:45:00 - [81] Fifty years...that's about when us Mac and Linux folks will get Premium. Maybe. At least we might have the devblog by then.
Tsiros Minmatar	Posted - 2008.08.13 15:50:00 - [82] Edited by: Tsiros on 13/08/2008 15:50:21 yes it will be around. i will be sitting in my bed with a laptop playing EVE (along with my oxygen mask) swearing at my son who will be making pew pew in a gang with my grandson. and not long before i kick the buckets, the mask will fall off due to adrenalin, my grandson will warp into the room and ask me for my staff or he will pod me.
Hartlier Xirone Caldari Task Force Union	Posted - 2008.08.13 15:55:00 - [83] Would be pretty cool to tell the n00bs of the 2050s that you played it for 50 years or more :P ___________________________________ "Building the Future and keeping the past alive is one and the same Thing"
Glach Duwat	Posted - 2008.08.13 15:56:00 - [84] If we have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the earth many times over, why does and asteroid pose such a large threat? I'm aware that Increase in speed = Increase in mass. etc etc. But you'd figure there would be a way to destroy and asteroid presenting a risk to the earth, even with today's technology.
Carcosa Hali Naqam	Posted - 2008.08.13 16:20:00 - [85] Yes, but by then the People's Republic of Caldari will be fighting to free the Amarr from their slave overlords in the Angelus Federation. -------------- Sometimes you lose it all... Sacrifice: The Sansha War

J Kunjeh Gallente	Posted - 2008.08.13 16:47:00 - [87] As I said in my earlier reply to this thread, in 50 years Eve better be a fully VR world, or I'm quitting. That said, it might not take nearly that long. Check out this article at The Escapist on Augmented Reality technology. It exists today, albeit in a crude format. But imagine the possibilities! Here's an excerpt: "As if MMOGs like World of Warcraft and Second Life weren't already addictive enough, imagine if those virtual worlds crossed over into your real-world life. No, not like missing your kid's soccer game to raid Serpentshrine Cavern - I mean interacting with computer-generated avatars in a real-world space. For the last two years, faculty and students at the Georgia Institute of Technology have been conducting experiments into enhancing MMOG environments with "augmented reality" (AR) technologies. Mowing down murlocs on your morning commute has never been so tantalizingly close. What sets AR apart from traditional (and clichTd) virtual reality? The latter refers to an artificial, interactive environment where everything that the user sees and hears is computer generated (or synthetic). "Augmented reality" refers to overlaying (or "augmenting") a real-world object or environment with computer-generated content for the user to interact with. The user sees the virtual elements blended into their real-world surroundings by either looking at a screen or wearing a head-mounted display. The AR Second Life project at Georgia Tech interfaces Second Life client code with AR technologies. One of the project's experiments brings avatars out of the virtual world of Second Life and into the real world to interact with real people. Imagine wearing a head-mounted display and checking out that sexy avatar you've had your eye on standing right in front of you in life-sized form. The Escapist sat down with Blair MacIntyre, an Associate Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology and one of the project leaders of AR Second Life, to talk about how AR technology might change how we communicate - and play."

I'm aware that Increase in speed = Increase in mass. etc etc. But you'd figure there would be a way to destroy and asteroid presenting a risk to the earth, even with today's technology. Increase in speed yiels more energy, not mass. And we can nuke the roid, or even use NASAs plan to paint them. THe threat however lies in that they are hard to detect, and they can strike at any time, with nukes we at least have some control ourself.

Zaerlorth Maelkor The Maverick Navy Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2008.08.13 18:37:00 - [90] Originally by: McDonALTs Since the year 600's, the world has been prophesised to end every 20-30 years due to something. year 1000 was the key @End of the world@ date. Of course, 1008 years later we are still here. There are thousands of callanders and predictions. The real end of the world is scientific, and that is when the sun runs out of hydrogen and blows up, a few billion years from now. Think there is fuel in the sun for another 10b years or some such, but the sun will grow in size and in heat output long before that, scorching earth to dust. Earth will be like venus in about 1 billion years. ================================================== I should really get a sig.
