I don't think three weeks is a large enough sample size to effectively deduce subscription or login trends. You need more time. Right now, all you can deduce is they are less each week, but it's obviously not going to drop to zero, so we can discard that conclusion. We don't want to make hasty generalizations here!

First come smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire.

Population does not = amount of subs or people quitting. Many people, like myself have a lot of ingame time built up, so if I wanted to take a break to play something else, I can while still training my skills or logging in once in a while talking to corpmates and friends.

EvE is in the minority for allowing players to see the actual amount of players playing, but if you asked CCP for how many active subs they have, doubt you'll get your answer. Players regardless wont know, only guesstimate. CCP is the only entity that truly knows if they are losing customers.

Everything is speculation concerning this topic.

Well, I didn't log on for more than about 2 minutes yesterday (27/5), simply to update my skill Q - why?

'Cos the sun has been out big time for the last 4 days and I might as well make the most of that rather than sit inside in front of my PC!

CCP is actually rather open about that information as well. Last numbers we were given was 400k subs (up from the 300k a while ago).

Try sending a tweet to CCP Diagoras (ccp_diagoras) and you might get a response.

I heard this time of year is a popular time for graduations, family gatherings, and many hours spent outside doing work you were unable to do during colder months.

tl:dr OP is dumb.

I can say with almost certainty that this is down to the fact that the UK (Eve's 2nd biggest player base) and Europe is general for that matter has had some Epic weather for the last week. The BBQs have been rife, I know I certainly haven't played as much as I normally would because of the weather.

Go outside people, Eve is good, but not as good as girls in summer clothes....

Yes...It is a good time to pass a 12 AWG electrical wire from the main box (inside the house), through the wall, clamp it under the deck, then dig a 30 foot trench to pass the wire underground, all the way next to the pool`s water pump. Oh an the wire is in a 3/4 inch PVC pipe. Still need to terminate both ends now...talk to you guys later!
