EVE Online dev blog outlines major long-term changes

@Scuffles

Think of money as experience. You spend it on ships and modules to power up your character, but then you get blow'd up and go into XP debt. ;)

@Scuffles
Eamil is correct. In eve you are not your ship. You are your skills AND your ISK.

@Scuffles If you think your skills are all you need in Eve, you obviously never played past the tutorial.

I think its safe to assume that CCP is trying to get more people into null. They've spent the last few expansions on tid bits aimed at getting people to move. They failed pretty badly but at least they are trying. Although trying to force PvErs into the nullsec endgame is probably not going to be very successful. I don't PvE much myself but I can see it not going over too smoothly already unless they "ninja" in small changes over 5 years that not too many people notice at first.

I'd like to be in 0.0 already, but I simply loathe all the out of game bullshit I have to go through to get there. I was in 0.0 at one point in my eve life, and back then i had to register on to 2 forums, hand out my API to quite a few people, register to 5(!) different voice comms... I just decided then to say screw this, I'm trying to play a game, I'm not looking for something that's more of a hassle than my actual job. I simply cannot and and even if I could, will not devote so much time to a game I'm supposed to have fun playing.
And that is something CCP as devs can't really help in any way. It's all the requirements players have set upon each other to get in to 0.0.

The most interesting game lore (pirate factions), and pretty much at least 70% of all the other cool stuff happens in 0.0 already. If they make empire experience crappier (like removing the already minsicule change to find faction loot in exploration) to force people to move to 0.0 (because they're not playing at the sandbox like the bullying kid wants them to), well that simply will not work. People will simply quit playing, those who don't HTFU at least. I'll seriously consider quitting myself, too, for the reasons stated above.

Become a renter, no bullshit. Just pay your bills and don't bitch when you get roamed.

Of course most landlords will treat you like second class citizens but if you are okay with being a serf and making a shit ton of isk while bowing down to space overlords then being a renter is the life.

Even went space gets conquered renters always have the option to pay the new guy on the block.
