And to be fair, they were...for a time. Then they fell apart because someone rose up and started beating them plus the alliance wasn't as all-powerful as everyone thought.
But there was another Alliance that was perceived as invincible too. It went by the name of CRONOS. But eventually, corporations teamed up, persisted, and wore them down. Now CRONOS is no more, and neither is one of the most successful corporations to ever play in PC, Seraphim initiative.
Around the same time a well-known corp (considered one of the best) by the name of Pink Fluffy Bounty Hunters, coming off their high from winning the Open Beta tournament and recruiting some good players, decided to go after Hellstorm. Well it turns out they weren't as good as everyone thought either because they fell apart a short time later as well.
Riding the wave of publicity for dismantling the Tournament winners, Hellstorm flexed its muscle. But even Hellstorm fell after they formed LoI, picked up a ton of great players and went to war with EoN. Sure, they're still around, but even Hellstorm has to admit they're a shadow of their former selves.
The point is, everyone thinks so-and-so is invincible and never going to lose...until they do. EoN is strong and stable, but it isn't as if for the rest of Dust 514's life, no one ever has a chance to dethrone us. Keep in mind all of the above has happened within the past 3-4 months.
And yes, it was a cool story.

I see you Eon guys falling apart due to boredom of being in a big ole empire. Not to say you guys won't get beaten by an up-and-coming alliance but I just can't really see what alliance will rise up...I mean each time we had people who were already established before the big groups came in.
Eon, Pink Fluffy Bunnies, STB, Cronos, Zion TCD, Orion Empire, and all of the other corps I'm forgetting were pretty established before they became top-tier killers. The only group that is still a major threat, and no offense to them, to Eon IS Eon. >.> Mark my words...It'll end up like that if a major alliance doesn't come soon.
