HAH! Now there's wishful thinking...TBH, a WoS game would have a LOT of work ahead of them if they ever want to even THINK about over-taking EVE-Online.

Here are 4 reasons why EVE will last a LONG time:
1) Virtually ANYBODY with an internet connection can play it (even Dial-Up users) because of the minimal traffic between Client and Server.
2) textures that were rendered on 2,000,000-polygon models, HDR+Bloom lighting (with the Trinity Premium Graphics)
3) The biggie yet to come either by the end of 2008, or first part of 2009: Ambulation...aka Walking In Stations. The EVE Fanfest 2008 is supposed to be setting up a playable Demo of it. The date of the fanfest conflicts with my bro's wedding so I can't go.
4) There are even plans of extending the immersion of the gameplay into atmospheric flight with the planets, and then eventually colonization of planets. Basically, it'll be a life outside of your real-life.

Simply put, EVE-Online will only ever grow. I actually think the FireFly MMO will have a better chance at de-throning EVE.
