Okay, EVE is not dying, but it has contracted a terminal illness and needs a surgeon to save it.
Without a doubt, EVE is declining in terms of active players. Around 16 months ago, there were 45k+ players online at EU primetime, now we're lucky to scrape 35k. In terms of the metagame, the game is also going through a sharp period of the decline. There have been no notable wars, invasions, scams or plots in the last few months - keeping the game out of the media spotlight.
With the new player experience harsh, and the old-player experience stagnant, EVE is going through a very tough period right now.
As I said, EVE needs radical change. Not tomorrow, but today. CCP need to be brave, they need to get out of the knife and amputate the gangrenous parts of the game.
Change happens today, not tomorrow.
CCP can't afford to wait any longer.

Yep, it's hard to believe CCP are sitting around refusing to make any big controversial changes in the near future.

We should feed it bacon. Bacon makes everything better. There was this one time that I was almost dead, and then I ate bacon. Suddenly I wasn't almost dead anymore.
Or maybe I wasn't almost dead. Maybe I was just fine. Yeah. that's what it was. I was completely fine, and I wanted some bacon.
So the moral of this story is: bacon. I honestly feel like I just read fifty shades of dumb. --CCP Falcon |

CCP must take a risk, it must risk everything it has worked toward up until this point. It must risk itself both financially and creatively.
EVE may not survive the next 2 years, but unless CCP is willing to completely reformat (redesign) key aspects of the game - we are all going down to the crapper. Gradual changes to null sec just won't cut it.
EVE is the last true bastion of player-driven gaming, and CCP must do everything in its power to save it.

CCP has a special forum area where new players such as the OP can share their sage advice and vast experience in the gaming industry and bring matters of such magnitude to CCP's attention:

This isn't about new features or new mechanics, it's about a radically changing the philosophy of CCP.
We need radical action in the next few months to completely redesign EVE Online as we know it.
We need CCP to risk every penny in their bank to save the world's greatest and only sandbox.
We need it now, not tomorrow.
Otherwise, I fear it will be too late.

Some folks just can't afford to be online as much.
PLEX costs, real life and real life economics... some folks may live a pampered life -- many do not.
But, please... continue with the dribble... because one ERA in EVE is dying... but a new one is about to begin.

Funny thing is.
Heard that before:
10 years ago 8 years ago 6 years ago 4 years ago 2 years ago
and now...and yet, we are still here.
Sure, there will be dips, but we can't have peaks if there aren't dips too. Personal channel: Crazy Dutch Guy Help channel: Help chat - Reloaded Public roams channels: RvB Ganked / Redemption Road / Spectre Fleet / Bombers bar |

Dude, you're 40 years old, get out of your mom's basement and enjoy life.
To some people EVE is a game, sometimes there are more important things to do then hang out with spacepixels (and it's pretty easy to be more important then a video game).

I'm sure EVE can manage to die on its own. BoBwins Law: As a discussion/war between two large nullsec entities grows longer, the probability of one comparing the other to BoB aproaches near certainty. |

Your story really spoke to my heart, bro. My life has been changed- Now we must work to spread the word about the dangers of the ultimate temptress, bacon, to the rest of New Eden. |

Hey there OP, I hear a lot of screeching and moaning, but not a lot of actual ideas that you would propose for CCP to "save the game".
Please tell us what they can do to save the game. I'm all ears. |
