Check it out before lending your voice to the conversation in the comments.

"In addition, convention attendees will have a chance to take part in an epic in-game event that CCP is keeping under its hat for the time being." - I think this might be linked to either Incursions, Sleepers, Jovians, maybe all 3 especially considering the existence of the SoCT cruiser/battlecruiser on the test server currently.  |

If only it has more interresting combat mechanics or meaningfull exploration... I see this game as a paradise for crafters, traders and politicians. Nothing for me

Heck, if I hadn't cancelled recently due to work demands on my free time they would have had 5 million and 3 subs. Really great game and if/when I get some more free time to play I'll be returning for another go around. An amazing mark considering how few sub based MMO's can hold this mark for any length of time, and it's nice to see that CCP has found the perfect storm of features to appeal to solid "niche" of gamers. I always wonder if they had taken the money spent on Dust514 and sunk it into really developing the walking in station concept, perhaps even to extending it to some sort of ship boarding combat model if the title could have been doing even better. Oh well, I'm sure CCP isn't unhappy at this point and understandable why they are staying the course, when things are working well, you don't screw with them.

it might not ever have the numbers of WoW, but you can bet your arse Wow won't be seeing an INCREASE in subs on its 10th birthday!
WTG to one of the best games ever for the PC in any genre. From, admittedly, one of your biggest fans. RIP Ribbitribbitt you are missed, kid. Currently Playing EVE, DFUW Recommendation of a game you probably haven't tried: POTBS, Atlantica, L2 |

At half a million I'm not sure it can be called a niche game any more. It's now a complete success and gaining momentum as mainstream game.

I started playing the game earlier this month and I am really enjoying it. Congrats to CCP, it shows how believing in something and diligently pursuing it pays off. I will be visiting that display at the museum in March as well!
