Eve Online could last 50 years News

good luck to them

They could have come up with a name that made the new MMO stand out from World Of Warcraft...

Err.. yeah, I guess it could do.

I do sort of miss Eve Online... but if it was still in my life, there'd be no time for other games, really.

Just the odd penchant for firing up the Enyo - used to run with another Enyo-jockey and go hunting for stray thorax's in low-sec space...

No, No.... sorry, but I'm not going back.

"The key is human interaction" ... in a game based on Vampires! Ironic! ;)

50 years from now I want to be in actual real life space, sitting for hours in front of a giant grey rock.

The White Wolf system is pretty good as it happens, which may make some or no difference at all in the big scheme of things. I believe the Vampire system has changed a fair bit since I knew anything about it, for better or worse I don't know.

Stop that, agparrot! Stop that right now!

I loved pretty much every idea in EVE but if they want their new MMO to be more successful then they'll need a better UI and a slightly faster pace. A shame really since it was so much better than WoW in every other way.

edit @zoidberg: Fair enough, I know a lot of people do love it and you could say it's better as it is, but a bit more accessibility would have greatly increased the number of subscribers imo.

EVE is good. A real player generated universe.

I just don't have the time for a MMO.

MightyMouse, the UI in eve is perfect.

Fact: I know the single real female player of EVE online.

5 days playing EVE feels like you've been there 50 years anyway, clicking, mining researching...

I read while also on my computer. Usually it's the choice article in a magazine that I keep handy next to my desk, but sometimes it's a book from my modest collection of novels. Now, left to my own devices I can read an average-length novel in under a day, but even map loading in a Source game isn't enough to make significant progress in a book. Not even taking the longest imaginable flight path in WoW is enough. I never finish a book from cover-to-cover at my computer desk, at least not normally.

Gentlemen, there have only been only a couple of times when I have been sat at a desk, occasionally glancing at a screen, for long enough to actually finish a book, from dedication to epilogue; and two things are direct causes of that. The first is a complete system backup/wipe/reinstall, and the other is whenever I get an odd desire to play a trial of EVE.

Hours and hours of watching various progress bars crawl to their inevitable climax, but only in one case do I actually have something of tangible worth to benefit from. In fact, if someone somehow managed to release a Windows install disk that simulates an average playing session of EVE, I doubt anyone would seriously notice the difference.

If I seriously want to find time to finish a book I've been considering for a while, I either download EVE, or a virus. That said, only one of those ultimately results in a faster boot time.

I hope you're not this retarded. Seriously.

Trikk I wouldn't worry about it, after all this time people still think that everything in the world is related and is trying to copy WoW even things that came out 25-30 years before (ie Warhammer) I'm just waiting on 'Lucus Arts used Warcraft to make Starwars' or 'Tolkin ripped off Warcraft' by some 12 year old that only knows the online world via WoW and his 360

Good game but I made myself quit because it was simply too addictive. I just found myself playing EVE at the stupidest times.

No more EVE for me thanks. 1 year was quite enough of my life - 50 would be extreme overkill.

I loaded up EvE just after the Trinity expansion came out a few months back after 1.5 years away from the game - just to take a look at the new graphics..

Rather predictably, Ive got right back into it & its completly taken over all my game time again..

Cant wait to see what they do with the Vampire game in the works.

well consider the backup CCP have and the cash flow who are more then Blizzard have / there ideas Yeas it can run for 100 years
