Only 1k? Back in the day you couldn’t even get to Jita. It was literally full. 6k people.
When was that??? I remember when the server started to choke when it start hitting 1500 people at peak in Jita… Can’t remember 6000 on a regular basis, might have happened during a ‘vacation’…
I remember bouncing off the gate when Jita was at it’s population cap.
No idea what the cap was at the time.
Look at these pathetic poors whine and cry over the sub cost. Get an extra shift at Wendys…
You should cut down on the mind altering substances…
Samey same. Spent a couple of days hauling several billion isk worth of gear out of low sec along the Hophib route to Delve.
The first two scouting trips I expected to die any moment. I saw nothing and no-one.
It was bizarre.
Mummy must be very proud of her little Proctologist.
Too many toxic unpopular changes… scarcity, WCS changes, lethal high sec spawns, ship tank nerfs (please die more so you can buy more) toxic as f%ck industry ‘rebalance’, resource nerfs and redistribution and more.
CCP and its owners trying to make money off the game at all cost. Price hikes and ‘please pay again’…
All this has driven many players from the game. Consider how loyal and devoted the core of EVE’s player base was… how bad does CCP need to treat them for them to leave the game?
I played for 15 years, topped two killboards (Battleclinic and Z-Kill) with my point whoring and moderate pvp skills. I played hours every day. Loved it. Only to have CCP change the game so much it just wasnt the game i loved anymore so i stopped playing in August 21.
Nothing i have seen or heard makes me want to play again. CCP has dropped the ball for players like me. If EVE was still the game i loved I’d happily pay what they are asking but it is very much worse.
i agree
im alpha for a time
im still in denial , thinking i will come back , sometimes i log in … but i agree CCP being ■■■■■■■ up the game a lot
i always told people that auto-determination and player content was the key to EVE
so much NPC ■■■■ and new rules, im burned
but tutucox was always a ganker and fw teamkiller and spy so who cares. you know what you did and why you cant come back so now own it.
i have more solo kills than team kills
i never ganked anyone ( maybe 1 or 2 fleets i done with goons )
i really don’t care , still think EVE is the best mmo around , im just burned , to much time, and i think most of the players push for the things i dislike in the game
maybe if i stayed away from the forums like i did for years this effect could be be less potent im me
push for things like what you dislike? this game is for mining, pve, and industry now
look
even my IRL friends are like that
im not saying this is a forum issue
they run to play the new hot stupid MMO and say they cant find EVE fun
to me EVE is about some mining belts , some trading stations, and some players running around interacting pretending they are space people
i like the freedom the sandbox makes me feel
i really dislike "MORE CONTENT " , but the player base apear to like it
my problem is that in the forums we have to debate the same issue over and over again , 1000000 posts asking for consensual pvp , for NPC fleets etc etc and im so tired because i think i lost
and its not bad that i lost , people can like the F they like , unfortunately is not what i like
for example IMO low sec was 90% more fun some years ago before CCP make some bad changes
let me try to explain , wen “there was no incentive to go to low sec” , low sec attracted people like me, people who like to hang around, earn a sub par but acceptable isk , and do fights for loot or fun , now that low sec have a incentive to go it attract people NOT LIKE ME , power blocks , miners , farmers …
i know there is more people not like me in general , but eve had the biggest concentration of people like me in any MMO ever
and i think its all lost
im in a doomer state atm
this video explain more than i could
oh i see but EVE was never intended to be for PVP
its not just the pvp
pvp is important , A LOT
but the sandbox thing is the most important part , go there , play , do …???.. things
nowadays there is minecraft servers that have more what i like in EVE than EVE…
btw that is a false statement
eve is a full lot , world pvp game
well you got one thing right though many people not satisfied and subscribers are now under 1000 unique
EVE is becoming more and more like any other MMO
wen EVE mutate to the final form and become full like any other MMO them EVE will die
because eve is a crappy 20 years old game
EVE can only survive because its not like any other MMO
That video summed it up perfectly, the hardcore PVP players are VOCAL because they seem “COOL” on the forums, the Casual players are made to feel almost ashamed of themselves for playing.
The fact is, it’s the Casuals who are the majority, and when they lose their hard-earned ISK in an instant, they are NOT likely to fork-out their hard-earned cash, or endlessly grind, to re-coup,
they’ll go to another game where they earn ENDLESS pixel-credits just to get that “Tycoon-Fuzzy-feeling.”
It’s just simple Psychology, and the plummeting EVE population proves it.
Ed. Who would’ve thought that Candy Crush makes so much money, that it makes CCP look destitute…
Well they are starting to realize like with the announcement that high-sec will have PVP removed in the summer and only low and null space will be for pvp. CCP is wising up that the real players do not want any PVP
you guys are the cancer devouring the game from the inside
shame on you
