LOL. I wonder if he is aware of the average server population in most current MMORPGs.

AFAIK, WoW realms held between 4.000 and 8.000 accounts.

Tranquility typically holds 40.000 to 50.000 players simultaneously (not just "belonging to the server").


I don't know nor do I care about WOW.

Not sure what it is you're actually trying to prove here other than being a fail troll. I remember lot's of times seeing only 15 k online in Eve, with 30 k being the norm for weekend count.

And I also remember seeing over 65 k online. Of course that was before CCP started the war on bots.

please, eve the most succesful MMO of all time. On what kind of drugs is this guy?


I think Eve is the most successful. Not in terms of number of accounts. That's obviously WoW. I think it's the most successful because the goal of an MMO is to be a long term business. Eve is the only MMO with a population that's still growing after all this time. MMOs usually hit their peak shortly after launch and then slowly decline. It's not the most successful in terms of popularity, but nothing good ever is. It is, however, the most successful in achieving the objective of creating an MMO. In my opinion that outranks popularity.

And for the record, popularity means nothing when it comes to how good something is. Honda sells way more cars than Lamborghini, but have you ever seen anyone say Hondas are better?

I agree with him, eve should be free to play. If CCP could have got more suckers to shell our RL money for monocles then we could all be playing for free right now. Dam it!

And I also remember seeing over 65 k online. Of course that was before CCP started the war on bots.

There were over 50k last time I logged in.

First of all, we "could all be playing for free right now" already. Nobody is stopping you from spending your ISK on PLEX. Secondly, lots of people (myself included) would quit immediately if it went free to play. The problem with F2P games is that the vast majority of players are moochers. That means they really need to bend over the few paying customers to make a profit. You know what free to play means?

  • Selling power. The rich already have enough of it IRL.
  • Removing a bunch of stuff from the game and charging a lot more than $15 a month to put it all back in.
  • Dealing with the illiterate retards and/or children that make up the vast majority of free to play MMO players.
  • The game becoming ultra grindy without buying "EXP boosts", which are hilariously overpriced.

    • None of these are things that should be sought out.

    Obviously you don't log in very much. Right now as I'm typing this there is a little over 33 k online which is pretty much the average amount.

    The last time I logged in was today. Ever think you're just playing in a bad time zone? Average high point of the day for me is 45k-55k. 30k is a rare sight for me. Only happens in the middle of the night when i'm on late. There's 31k on right now because it's 10pm so kids and most people with normal 9-5 jobs have logged out for the night.

    Personal attacks are prohibited.

    Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit and will not be tolerated. Corporation, faction and alliance members and other players are cautioned to avoid allowing “in character” disputes from becoming "out of character" personal attacks. The game is designed for role-playing and/or portraying a role and it is sometimes easy for tempers to flare when the lines between the virtual world and the real world are crossed. Please keep in-game disputes in the game and off the forum unless it is clearly a mutual, in-character exchange.



    Please refrain from attacking others, especially if they have no way to defend themself. Thank you.
