Since way back I have been arguing for more players, more invest in more players, and less focus on new development on planets. Not skill augmentation or such... though this is needed.
Now, all of a sudden, we have a flurry of threads and posts and angst over the lack of new players and I think this:
And now you see you are losing, not because you are crap, or broke, or lacking in gamer knowledge.
But because the lack of a player base is a basic endpoint of your gaming life.
Now yes, EU will probably survive, linger on, do something, even earn money for a few.
But it will not be a vibrant and fun and enduring legacy of the internet community.
Unless we have more players.
^ is the simple and end answer.
The sad thing is, people who would have learnt more, gained more ( not financially ) and done more are lost because the game decided it wanted to milk the cow, not the herd.
