It seems there is an ongoing (if exaggerated) influx of new players as the big titan-pocalypse landed right on a big expansion. I am looking forward to seeing if some of these new players stick around; this will be a big test of the updates and changes CCP has put in place. These new players won't be stepping into quite the same world that I once did, and I'm sure most of them will be glad for that. But here's hoping EvE never loses it's hard edge, no matter how much of a cushion CCP tries to put on it.
