When WoW was launched it was backed by the most popular video game company with the two most popular RTS games and Diablo II with huge followings. They copied the EQ formula and improved on it in every way. On launch reviews for WoW were 9s and 10s, for EVE they were 6s.
EVE is the superior game imo but CCP has no gigantic following from previous games and has several different mechanics than other MOMRPGs which can put new players off. EVE has grown from 5k subs to around 350k subs and is doing great. EVE was profitable a long time ago and doesn't need explosive subscription growth to remain so.
This.
WoW was an iteration of previous games in the genre so was fairly mature and had the backing of an experienced company as well as previous games to perfect the gameplay to the massess.
Eve is the first of its kind with a company that is inexperienced and making things up as they go. Because of this, they have introduced a lot of broken things in the game that have messed up the gameplay.
If another company were to take the Eve concept and re-iterate it, Eve2 if you will, they would learn from CCPs mistakes and would probably be able to make a more refined product with more followers and less brokeness.

Don't worry. Even when there were only 7k players on at peak Eve was still a great game to play. In some ways it was even more fun and less predictable. Eve could loose 50%+ of its playerbase and still play just fine. CCP would probably have to abandon Dust and WoD, but heck, that would be fine with most of us methinks.

Vaerah Vahrokha wrote:Very little "personal" customization. Ships are all copy pasted, often times even going from T1 to T2 only changes some details into "golden" looks and little else. Most modern games give deep degrees of customization, in EvE you can't even set the color.
I think the new character creators have improved this quit a bit. I hate the thought of players being able to make there ships pink and yellow....
