I actually do see myself playing for at least a few years.

I'm not sure how much it truly comes across in my posts, but I have fallen in love with the nature of the game. I find the flying about going from system to system seriously relaxing. Also just watching my ship orbit asteroids and hearing the buzz of the space lazers makes me smile a lot and I like to imagine I'm there. It's such a beautiful universe they've crafted that I want to be a part of it.

My corp (it's seriously not trying to be big or anything) is slowly, slowly, slowly gathering materials and eventually we will create a citadel for miners and refiners called Mountain. There's no rush with it and it will just happen at some point. I've never wanted people to go out their way with RVCMF because it was designed just for silly relaxing. If we make the citadel awesome! If it takes us years, awesome!

Personal goals are three:

1) To own one of every mining vessel and be able to use them :)
2) To visit every area of the universe. Regardless of being attacked I would like to see each individual spot on the map! It could take a LONG time and I could be killed again and again but I want to explore :D
3) To write about my experiences doing it. I've already written a prologue chapter to my little account (A Minor Tale) and heck, I could have so many experiences to put within it!

Every couple of years since a long time I try to get into eve, but I never last more than a week. This time thanks to your chill corp things are going way better. Instead of joining goonfleet, loging in, feeling lost and intimidated, logging off and forgetting about the game, like all the other times before, now I log into my goonfleet char, feel lost and intimidated, log off and log into my mining alt and chill while chatting with goons and keeping up with my favorite sa threads.

That was a great idea you had and is saving eve for me! Thanks!

Campfire Coalition, if it makes you feel batter -- but, well, let's be frank. The MBC at the moment is a coalition of ~40,000 players, all blue to each other, although most of them are alts. They ostensibly live in the north, but they're renting most of it out while they PvP elsewhere. They hate each others' guts under the covers, but they'll gladly voltron it up if that's what's needed to hit enemies and defend their profits. A better CFC 2.0 was never described.

If it looks like a duck, and swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably SMcD throwing money at lowtax

They just don't shoot each other, and they go on ops together for strategic goals, and support one another in the war effort.

It's strongly suspected to be much less. Nobody knows for sure because CCP suddenly scrubbed everything they released to make sure you couldn't figure out subscriber numbers, but that kinda speaks for itself.

not necessarily a net loss of revenue. Monetization is healthier and SP is directly purchasable with real money, for starters. And a lot of people are addicted to gambling with ISK these days, which drives PLEX sales as well.
