You do realize that this 5000+ player game all started at a population base of around 50 daily....... right? Even if most the players now die off and stop playing, theres nothing stopping CCP from continual development. The reason for this is A.) continual EVE Online financial support. and B.) with that support they could ramp up marketing at any time.
The biggest reason today we have issues is because a majority of the player count...... are vets. People who have played for a long time, and generally ruin the game for others because this experience is just a crippling advantage.
With increased marketing, the player base would swell, and the "vet" pool would get diluted. Even if we could get the player count up to 20,000 I feel that would be enough to get the game feeling fun again.
However, the game right now is incomplete, it DOES NOT have the retention value it needs to keep a sizable number of players playing. Currently were missing PVE, a player run economy, NPC driven missions, industry sectors, and a more meaningful evexdust connection. All of that coupled with the fact that the core gaming experience is, in many cases, awful creates an environment were people just don't want to play because everything is either A.) stressful, or B.) stressful.
So in conclusion, I don't think this game is going to die. I do think ill have several months worth of experience saved up over those who don't play this game yet (when they do decide to play). But as for now, I like to look at us as..... glorified beta testers. Were playing a game that for all intensive purposes is still a beta. (just labeled differently). So yeah! theres that! |
