Please stop supporting CCP, they have given up on EVE online.
The reason i know this is because they only focus on Ship rebalance which is boring and they only do it to give the impression that somthing changes. Oh and they also tend to slip in a new skin or special edition ship here and then. Its pathetic. Please stop giving them money.
That's some high quality bait ya got there |

Please stop giving them money. what ever CCP does and does not do.. is at fault of its own community that allowed them to work this way.. so in all honesty... its your fault, my fault and new Eden's own fault. I look at it like this.. yes! im paying ccp to watch them kill this game.. which they are not doing.. matter of fact.. eve online is one of the toughest mmo's out there in its own market.. some can handle the heat some can not... maybe you're the latter.. but to all of us hardcore fans that love to hate this game and stick around and see it burn.. I send out a salute to you all. o7 the best ship is friendship.. that's what keeps us around.. remember that homeboy... peace

I consider it an honor and a privilege to pay my subscription. I love eve and CCP. I only wish half the carebear null losers would actually get half as excited about a decent fair battle as they do about forum warrioring and plexing their accounts leaving CCP with nothing except an electric bill. |

EVE keeps declining according to eve-offline. There has been no solid new gameplay for years.
I got an perfect illusion. CCP don't have any programmer. I'm wrong. There may be one to modify data of ships or more. They do have a lot of artworkers. |

EvE is good because EvE is hard.
It's a sandbox, you create your own content, there are plenty of different choices in New Eden. It IS possible you simply don't like any of them. So, leave I guess?
I love EvE, I have 6 accounts and I gladly pay for all of them with real money. Been here 6 1/2 years and will be here til they pull the plug on Tranquility.
Pretty funny all the tales about EvE "dying", or "CCP killing EvE" and it's been around for 14 years. Slowest death, ever....
If you don't like it anymore, OK, it's a subjective thing, you can un-sub. Not sure I understand the need for you to convince others to do the same. How does that benefit you?
Anyway, just weird. WE should all leave, because YOU don't like it anymore. Whatever |

I don't know much because ive only been in the game for about 6 months, but i don't mind giving my money to be able to do what i want, especially seeming as i haven't heard of or know of any other games that give an experience similar to eve's. |

I think they will build further on Valkyrie now it is not possible because of the tech, but 2018-2020 it can be possible that we will play Eve in VR/AR, fully implemented market and such.
In your own room that has changed as a strategy war room you look together to a AR strategy board how to attack that citadel or a group of enemies or talking in a bar with your comrades wat you drink is visible by the other and you can celebrate your victory, your own room is the captians quarter and you look at your wall to scope news etc |

I agree, one has to wonder when someone complains there is no new content. Like what? hahaha! I appreciate EvE Online. It can be as boring or as fulfilling as I need it to be at a moments notice. Well, it goes almost like that. LoL

There are only two facts that can be established. One is the PCU, the other CCP's financials.
The two are in conflict. The PCU demonstrates a definite, sharp, and ongoing decline in PAYING customers. The 2016 financials show a healthy CCP.
Has CCP taken a page out the null sec cartel playbook and monetizing each account like never before? Undoubtedly yes.
Can they maintain that profitability and squeeze even more from a shrinking player base? We are going to have to wait for the 2017 numbers before we can pronounce Eve dead.

That is an interesting article. It has numbers from published accounts, so they are real.
However, nowhere does it mention "profits". If you read carefully, "revenues" have increased by 30%, and "EBIDTA" "sits at" 45% of revenues.
EBIDTA is what you have left before you pay interest, amortisation, insurance and tax. It doesn't tell you much about profit unless you know the debt burden.
I think the Valkyrie launch has provided extra cash earnings, thus the jump in revenues, but that the launch project also cost a bunch in loans which need to be paid back.
Now, these numbers could be fantastic. CCP might only have a wee bit of debt, and it could be paying dank dividends.
The other thing they could be doing is leveraging their core IP assets in other ways. The article mentions a collaboration with Ridley Scott, and it also mentions the appeal of a social media platform for broken nerds. Obviously folks who will put down 100 US pesos for a marauder license are an appealing demographic.
So I would want to see dividends before talking about profits. Still, they are not dead yet. They will lurch forward for at least a few years yet.
The directors ought to get back to work. |

Yep. CCP knows which way the wind is blowing in terms of PCU. Wouldn't surprise me if they follow Blizzard's lead and remove the server population display from the launcher and prevent third parties from obtaining that information. It's more damaging to have your declining player count advertised than it is to stop publicising the figures. |

Started in june 07 1 account by 2011 I had 7 and slowly dropped them one by one over the next 4-5 years...Now I have no sub's at all one main account I don't even log in anymore and the 2nd alpha that's just for ***** and giggles.
Its Friday peak time and less than 20k players.....If that doesn't say something for the state of the game I don't know what does.
Pretty much everyone I started with is gone.....90% of the people I played with in the last few years gone.....
I loved this game I really did, played it well over 30,000 Hours easy. Made billions and still have billions but CCP has **** all over vets and new bros to the point people just said f-it....
If CCP would have made good on the "letter" Himlar wrote about 3 years ago **** would be golden but as we can all see it was total B.S.
I honestly can't name one thing that was the cause, the list would be pages long of the crap over the years that has turned people away myself included. Almost every aspect I enjoyed is nerfed to **** or just out right gone....
Maybe one day CCP will wake up or sell the I.P. to someone who cares to save a sinking ship but as it stands now I won't be holding my breath as they have ignored pretty much all of us this whole time anyway.
P.S. no you can't have my stuff I would rather trash it.....

This game began long before 2003 and it will continue long after Tranquility is a pile of junk in a landfill in Kenya. You can despair-quit if you want to, but we all know there is only one way out of this game. And when you do finally log out, please send my regards to oblivion. I hope to still be playing then and for as long as I can afterward.
Fly safe. Live long and prosper. And may the force be with you. |

I'm surprised they haven't done it already but maybe they just don't care any more - the current stats paint a fairly pointed finger at what they are doing wrong.
Interestingly there isn't a shortage of uptake of new players - in fact outside of specific peaks its as strong as its ever been yet there is still a strong downward trend in any objective activity metric that the alpha clone thing only momentarily stalled but its back in force now. |
