I haven’t posted anything in a long time but my hiatus is
soon to be over. I’ve been keeping up
with Eve while I was gone and one of my favorite subjects has come once again
to the forefront of conversation; should high sec be truly safe or not.
I’ve posted on this subject before but time changes all
things and so to have my thoughts on the subject. Well, I still think high sec should be safe
for the game to expand i’s player base, but a lot of the other details have
changed.
All games evolve over the years. Some better or some worse. Eve has changed some but the core concepts
are still the same since I started playing three years ago. Sure the ships are being adjusted and there
have been a few changes here and there, but for all intents and purposes it’s
the same game.
During this time the average number of players logged in has
remained fairly stagnant. Which
indicates that while subscriptions might be up the people actually playing the
game is the same. The game essentially
isn’t growing and I believe the reason behind this lack of growth is due to the
hostile nature of the game casual players can't escape.
