There will always be a new King of the Hill. If there is a fresh influx of new players the game will never stop. Why? Because the new guy will want to become the king of the hill. Then the next new guy will want to take him off of it. Repeat, repeat...
On some servers that may be the case, and there are certainly a few gung ho players who will want to be top of the heap, but on at least 1 server, since Atlantis was taken, and by a friendly ally, a once very strong alliance seems to have vanished in the wind. The chat is practially silent and people are spending more time w/ poker and Farmville than Evony. Alliances on other servers, in states that do not border Atlantis, people seem oblivious and just pick on neighbors in their own state, until only a handful of alliances own the state and every resource in it. Seems like Evony has taken on the 1 element it didn't have before, that too many games suffer from - bordedom.
