Anyway, I feel a bit like an outsider looking in, as I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been actually playing, but I look at this subject as someone who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still following the game and reading about it. What would draw me in again ?<\/p>\n<p>Judging by that latest dev blog, CCP is a little desperate to get people back in. Granting amnesty for people who bought ISK in the past. I am afraid, they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have any money \/ staff at the moment to pull off something big, that would bring in new players and pull back in, those that haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t played in quite a while.<\/p>\n<p>First of all we got the skill injection thing so returning \/ new players can \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccatch up\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. I think what would bring back in those players CCP so desperately wants is a new big expansion. Something like the Wormhole expansion, Apocrypha. All these sprints and little improvements \/ new ships are all nice, but they aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t creating any new headlines. A new hyped up expansion that would add a new PVE element that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actually fun to do (solo and in a group) would be nice.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline;\" title=\"Road to Nowhere\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sobaseki.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/road-to-nowhere-in-iran_thumb1.jpg\" alt=\"road-to-nowhere\" width=\"503\" height=\"287\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d put that on my roadmap. What exactly would that be you might ask ? I have no clue to be honest, I am sure some smart people can come up with something. Bit of a bad roadmap this, come to think of it <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile\" style=\"border-style: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sobaseki.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/wlEmoticon-winkingsmile.png\" alt=\"Winking smile\" \/>.<\/p>\n<p>Also 0.0 space would need some love and they way it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s conquered.All you ever read about the sovereignty rules are complaints, so that needs (yet another) rewrite.<\/p>\n<p>I do realize my roadmap is a little vague, but the point is that CCP needs to come up with something big otherwise Eve will just bleed out and slowly disappear. Is this going to happen ? I am afraid not, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think they have the resources at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Other participants can be found at the main blog banter page over at <a href=\"http:\/\/sandciderandspaceships.blogspot.com\/2016\/02\/blog-banter-72-this-is-road-map-to.html\">Sand Cider and Spaceships<\/a> !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blog Banter 72 &#8211; This is the Road (map) to&#8230;..
