Potential Eve Alternative: Perpetuum?
Watch the video below and see if you don't find similarities to Eve Online.
I created an account and created the in-game channel "Eve" for Eve refugees. Come join us.

Hey CCP Hilmar: You said you would judge us on our actions rather than our words. How are we doing so far? Hope those 52 Monocles were worth it.

I've heard this game bandied about as an EVE substitute... I'm considering it.
Fake edit: it's cheaper than EVE too, and apparently it even takes a bunch of the eve concepts and puts them to use as well... it's not spaceships, but it's interesting. However, I won't be creating a full account until I know for sure that EVE is dead.
Ok, fuck it. making a trial.
I'm sorry to hear you quitting. Loved your blog for a long time, and even tried some stuff with varying success :)
I tried Perpetuum a while ago and it is nothing close to EVE. The whole world is about the size of Jita and there are far too few players.
So, if you decide to roll with it, I will not be joining you. But I will continue to read whatever you write.
omg he goes on about the EP system so much, with such a blinkered ignorant view.
it looks worth a try though! ill check it when i get back from holiday.
I've played the trial for a couple of hours... it's just not the same. Maybe with time it could be a suitable replacement, but it's just not for me... yet.
Maybe I'll join the FHC/Kugu guys on CEVE, I"m Chinese myself and it'd be a hilarious way to brush up on my reading skills.
Here is a Link to a Thread in the EvE-Forums..
It counts on a googledoc. how many ppl deleted their acc's or are not going to renew them.

I don't think that the Monocles where worth it :P
I played for 2 Years as a "Griefer" in Wormholes and your Blog really helped me.
My 3 Accounts are now deleted and I will miss all the hillarious posts from you, Mr. Clavet.
Farewell.
Sounds like noob guy speaking. He is really bitching about pluses of the eve and that perpetum game, like skilling, complexity.
Mate go play WoW.
Been enjoying your posts and clever workarounds of the game mechanics and rules. A bit surprised though that you and so many other vets are not being as clever in dealing with CCP's nonsense. A few players (even a few thousand) rage quitting the game won't do much to CCP's financial bottom line (and they know it), but a few thousand irate players can certainly unbalance the game and make it virtually unplayable, esp. for new players. Bring the concurrent user count down, discourage new subs, and crash the in-game economy - CCP's money grubs would notice that. How? Perhaps, buy up all of the T1 frigates in high-sec - then push prices up so much that new players can't buy ships and can't play? 23/7 perma-Hulkageddon? Gank and spank trial account players until the tears are flowing like rivers?
Put your devious mind to it, Mr Clavet, and surely you can come up with something that is even well within the EULA. ;)
Greed might be good, but evil is better....
I considered that too... a little market warfare in the starter systems would go a long way.
Try this one. Buy 100 T1 frigs from all high-sec stations, reprocess to minerals, sell minerals back to market. Net cost to you, maybe few million ISK, but only takes minutes to do. Tell 10 friends to do same, and have each tell 10 more friends, until entire T1 frig market depeleted. Should happen fast for all empire space. Leave "good" ships like Navitis for mission running and PvP (lol). Manufacturing players cannot replace ships as fast as ships can be reprocessed. In a week, serious imbalance in game for new players, I think.
I lol'd
This reviewer sounds like a little spoiled WoW-kid...
That said, perhaps ironically, Perpetuum seems a bit one-dimensional and lacking in depth to me (the latter is abiiiiiiiiiiig no-no after 2.5 years in EVE), but I might give it a try, along with Black Prophecy, and Freelancer if that one still exists.
Oh, Infinity: Quest for Earth, wherefore art though? (and can you ninja-salvage and -loot in it?)
Sounds like you were ready to get out of EVE anyway. :(
Adios Amigo.
u still playing??
u don't need to be mad n just leave eve. u never been helpful anyway.
bye jerk
What's your name over there?
