They can't or won't, otherwise there would be actually some people and corps playing this game instead of 10-20 guys multiboxing a bunch of accounts.
3 years of burying head in sand, pretending everyone in the world wants to play PO and Steam will fix everything is NOT a solution.
What's the most common excuse people have against playing EVE? Don't want to be forever behind. And you think they'll come play a budget-version of EVE so 10-20 of us can kick them around like used condoms? Wake up pls.
the so called gap is not the problem. i doubt that the ep difference will be a big issue for a lot ppl. everybody who plays a time based progression system knows how it works. if you dont like that then you dont play these kind of games.
the main problem lies in 2 things:
- content
- advertisementthese are the problems of the game. not a gap. you will not get 2000 more players because you shorten the gap, that will basicly be gone in 3 months playtime anyway.
multiboxing is another issue but i think that is addessed in a different topic atm.
You can't say that there won't be "2000" more peeps coming, cause you don't know. You don't sit on that answer. Neither do I or any1 else. But CLEARLY there hasn't been any increase in population with the current system, and the gap won't be "gone" in 3 months anyway as it is now. What r u talking about!?!? The gap will be intact EP-vice. So unless you can travel in time, and find out that a tweak to the current EP system WON'T bring more peeps to the game, then everything you say is pure speculation. As is everything I say. BUT!!!! We've done "your" system for 3 years now, and what do we have? A dying population/game. And none of us here want that. Sure the game also need more content and more adverticement(as I remember they did advertice it at launch). But why not also try to do something bout the EP-system? I still don't get this. Nothing bad can come from it. So wtf not TRY!?!?
