That would have been pre Incarna but the numbers are better now than they were.

Alternatively...

I am noticing allot more people online everyday on singularity. The old cap seemed to be around 200, two days ago there was 2,000. I don't know, nor do I care whether or not there was a mass test this weekend. But at this exact moment singularity is registering 2031 online. This seems like a big change to me. Can anyone confirm of deny this?

The 2000+ is dust players on SiSi as well as the eve people.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

+40K online at EU prime time, and at least wormhole space is teeming with action these days. Summer was quiet, now it's bloody fantastic <3

The bot population is certainly up, can't speak to the human population. What?

as mentioned, summer is quiet.

Wait till all the people cant play Frisbee in the park and all their friends they can touch hibernate for the winter.

I've been seeing around 20k logged on when I do, a significant drop from when I used to play in '07 the numbers were nearly 50k. 60k logged on during Alliance Tournaments.


Oh man what a bullshit, EVE had far less players in 2007 than they do now. Back in '07 we were at maybe 25k

The graph at the bottom on http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility quite clearly shows a downward slide since a peak at Jan 2011.

Can it recover ? Not sure at this point.

Past months EVE had hardly 40k users EUTZ at night. Last week i saw 45k+ users logging on same time. last winter i saw many times going above 50k. We ll see this winter. If it will be reaching 50k we are fine.

Aside from various Summer Of Rages, that graph looks pretty reasonable. You have to consider a few things:
- They're auto banning bots now.
- The slide stopped in Nov 2011 (as it does every year)
- Year over year we're actually doing better than last year (this isn't hard - lolmonaclegate)

No, it did not stop, nor HAS not stopped.

Don't tell me you are going to ARGUE over legitimate statistics.

It did reached another small peak in April during the post-FanFest Debacle, but has been on an obvious slide again.

The number of 4 and 5 year players I know that have quit over the past few months has been saddening.

Staying in NPC corps is a sure way to ruin your EVE experience.

Because school kids are obvioulsy a large chunk of EVE playerbase.

The world is a community of idiots doing a series of things until it explodes and we all die.
