While EvE is certainly growing... exponential isn't quite the right word...
lol neither one of you even know what exponential means.
Might not want to use such big words afroburzing , they get confused easy.
OMG do YOU know what exponential means? if it was growing exponentially it would be rivaling or surpassing WoW in subscriptions.... exponentially is basically a graph that looks like this... if eve was growing exponentially their population would be HUGE
"ofcourse, every topic has the whine threads, always a show stopper" Ours does to but you missed/dodged the point
"Yes, and the first page of WoW's topic never stay longer then 5 minutes because of the massive amount of post makes" It's not my fault the two post i chose to use because they were the longest running on the front page happend to be whining. Reading comprehension ftw?
"about your screenshot
zoom out till its a little dot. thats how you will see the ship when your fighting it."
....i'm sure you've never seen one irl but to make that a dot you'd have to be zoomed out far far more than the range any of us play at..if you chose to play with tiny dots that's your call. i play zoomed in close enough to enjoy what's going on
"oh, so you only fight one ship at the time, I see."
All these things you've blurted out during this post can only mean 1 of two things.
1. you've never played eve 2. you're an idiot. 3. you've been batted down at every turn and are just rambling now take your pick
at the zoom most of us play at our cruisers and frigs are big enough to enjoy looking at. one of those would fill up your screen 5X over.
I made a snide comment about wow and raiding because i've been there and it's true. you obviously have no idea what goes on in eve. please have something worth saying before you post.
and no it's not growing exponentially it's only doubling in size every year 3 years after launch which is more than any other mmo can say

Nope, but why do I need to see everything? I have all the numbers right infront of me.
I spend some fights looking at the other guys ship lol. nothing like watching your drones eat through the other guys hull. when you move around you take all your controls and targeting hud with you so there is really no point at staying in any one spot unless you are fine tuning your scan.
I do not play wow or eve, but i do think these awards are a waste of time, and false. Eve players seem just abunch of elitest who rally to vote for these kinds of things. I think the only reason i do care, and hope wow wins is to shut up the eve players.
Originally posted by godpuppet The OP speaks of WoW and EVE games being second generation. Um I'd probably say that they're 3rd Generation.
IMO, First Generation is games like UO etc... (my knowledge is pretty low in this area), second you had EQ/DAoC/AO, Wow and EVE being the most recent are third generation... Games coming out now are 4th in my eyes.
But then again, theres probably an official office somewhere that decides this sort of stuff, so Im prob wrong.
Actually MUDs would be first generation, Second Generation would be UO and EQ, third would be your 4-5 yr ago MMORPGs and lastly todays MMORPGs would be the 4th. So we coming into our 5th generation in 2007 :P

Point out un-important things ftw? You know just as well as I do that if I post it on the WoW forums, it would fall to the next page very quickly. Which happens ont he EVE forum as well..hence they had to sticky it

lets see, 1 is incorrect, and 2 is incorrect. nope, sorry, won't pick either of those. As you probably know, in bigger fleet battles, you will HAVE to zoom out to make any sense what is actually going on, and when you do that, your enemies will look like small dots. Heck, it even requires a special lay-out because the dots are to small.
You ask for something worth posting? You might want to start with yourself, because what I have seen you do so far is saying that EVE's community is more supportive then others..yet you have absolutely NADA to back that up.

You have to understand that in our world there is no backing down. you either win or lose weeks worth of effort. we carry this over to the forums when provoked. When people stop poking at us and our little world we will once again vanish into the void untill the next time.

I mean that one sentance alone make you sound like an elitest lol and another thing eve promotes on this website more then any other game, and promote this website on there own webpage, are you telling me you think the voteing rightly reflects the best mmo out? no sorry you can bs all you want but the truth is the truth.
...you said in responce to why you don't just go post it on the wow forums and tell them yourself "because to many people post and it vanishes" the two topics i posted are proof that there are some things wow players care enough about to keep on the front page. if it was important this would be one of them.

Except that there's less than 200k of us and "craploads" of wow players yet we win? once again if you want the wow people to notice i invite you to go make a post on their forums and get their attention.
Bah. waste of my time. yes sure you guys win we're a cult of conspirators that join together to spam the mmorpg voting pool while being outnumberd thousands to one and see nothing but tiny dots the whole time we play the game...please please post hard enough and perhaps the good people of eve will continue to be able to enjoy our lame dot game in peace.
I've said all i'm going to say. if people buy your crap it will do well to keep the people that eve isn't right for next to the people that believe the "eve only has 30k subscribers" post.

Thank you good Sir! you made me laugh
BTW here´s pic of my ship .
me too glad i gave you a chuckle as my parting gift m8
@ turtle dude- just let it go man your wasting your breath.
conspiracy!!! RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!!! How dare ccp ask their players to vote for their game in the players choise awards!! Someone call God we have a problem down here!
"Silly, thats not a link to the awards, thats the Eve forums.
If you look at what I'm actually talking about, last years awards, you'll see Eve cleaned up. That makes it a good game so stop bashing"
ZMOG!!! someone posted on the forums about casting a vote and we one! i call HAX!
and it was "Actually the READERS CHOICE awards. you know, mmorpg.com's readers choice awards,"
not EVE-online.com's awards(moved that last part because it makes no damn sense) yay eve won the readers choice award as opposed to winning it's own award! Because if it made an award for itself it would win and that would be mad HAX! call the hounds!
or are you trying to say the readers choice awards won and not eve? do you even know at this point?

Because naturaly, its very wrong to have the mmorpg.com's community to pick the awards, instead of people who only come here to vote.
