Only 17,000 players logged in right now. When I logged in 30mins ago there were only 8,000. These are really low numbers. Looking at DOTLAN for my local area shows extremely low numbers for traffic and gate activations region wide. Forget about getting a fight, it's an event when I even lay eyes on a potential target.

What gives? Is EVE really dead this time?

Today looks remarkably like last Monday.

Granted yesterday was all fubar, but that was hamsters dying mostly.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Yes, this time it is certainly dead. Please don't forget to contract me your stuff before you are also leaving.

I remember a drive to get as many people to log on as possible. We achieved a whopping 5k players.

People wee'd themselves with excitement. Myself included.

Funnily enough, Mondays commonly compete with Saturdays for having the second highest peak users in the week (Sundays being the winner by a large margin unless something special happens).

It's Columbus Day here. Alot of business(not mine) and schools are closed.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

I think the login time in the OP coincided with what was supposed to be the middle of the extended downtime today for disk array maintenance (that was cancelled). So the numbers for today probably aren't too shocking. Peak numbers still seem a lot lower than before.

edit: nm, misread extended was supposed to end a few minutes before OP's post, so yeah just after downtime.

Lol! you post not long after the servers come up after downtime on a monday shortly after an extended downtime assuming low number = game dead? un-bloody-believable, paranoia at it's worst.
