Certainly is dead to me. I started playing in 2007 and was all in, even attended two FanFests in Iceland (2011 & 2013). But I stopped playing around 2014, as there was just no new content that interested me. I still have my two accounts on the free tier and will log in once in a blue moon to see if they’ve added anything new, but sadly, the game still is pretty much what it was in 2014, but worse. What happened to walking in stations? Why can’t we landing on planets? CCP seems to have fired all the original designers & developers who were on the right track, and replaced them with people who simply don’t know what they are doing. I cringe when I log in now and see all the desperate “jumping the shark” attempts like daily rewards, free skill points, rehashed NPC wars, etc.
Yes, Eve, once a very good game, is dead. At least until they wake up and move into the 2020’s.
