Used to be a high of 23K-27K players during peak times. Now its often over 50K.
There were 37 people in my home system tonight.
Eve, thank you so much for letting everyone and their brother play for free now
so that us subscribing players can fight with them over resources.

You should be all about sharing.

On the other side of you complaint guess what more people to buy your resources and use your resources which makes them more valuable.

Was it only recently that people were lamenting low player counts?

When your system is in TiDi every day because it's too busy and you aren't at a trade hub or SOE mission hub, then you can complain about crowding.

Alphas really should be able to fly freighters and CCP needs to reintroduce the cap at 2k in Jita Pirate.

Remove standings and insurance.

"Re-introduce"? There used to be a player cap in Jita?

Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

Yes, was about to say that. Who cares about big ships and fancy toys. The best feature is you ruffians, huntin' n' screwin' 'round. There's no Alpha limitation to mitigate that joy.

Find another system?

Start ganking/wardeccing your competition?

Or just whine on the forums and achieve nothing, your choice.

You know what, I've been trying to get my old college dorm mates, guild mates from other mmos, various forum buds, etc etc. to get into EvE.

Not one has clicked on my buddy link/mass invitation link from my recent 'EvE F2P!' mail to them. Goddarned waste of time collecting all those emails...

Even my gaming cousin was like, "..ehh, I just like to read stories about eve". Fugging bastard, if he does play someday i'm gonna awox him.

Too bad we can't shoot Alphas on sight...

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Yeah, I guess... I'd even be willing to let Alphas shoot at anything in high-sec except that mechanic would be horribly abused. Maybe one of these days CCP will finally get around to fixing bounties and reestablishing it as a profession...

True, we can sell them things they can't acquire on their own. Very good point I didn't of.

I love how when you try to share an opinion with CCP certain people call you a troll or a whiner. But it was only two that I saw and the rest of you had some good comments on the subject. Thanks! Really expected to be flamed worse than that, knowing how these forums usually are. :D
