EVE General Discussion

…aside from the whole acknowledging that there might be merit to some of it, but that it's still problematic, you mean?

This part.

If you assume that the average account is logged in for 20 hours a week, than that means that 500,000 x (20/168) = 59524 people.

Knock off 20% for the part of the 500k that are on the chinese server and you get about 48k.

OK maybe it looks like the average account is logged in for 16 or 17 hours a week. I find that pretty plausible.

Nope.

So are you ever going to address the facts and figures, or are you just going to keep trolling? Are you going to provide some reasoning why you prefer unfounded, unreasonable, and counter-factual guesses to actual data? Or are you just going to keep going after me because it's all you can still try (and fail just as much at)?

…or at least 1900 Jita-local spammers.

I haven't heard about that rule of thumb, but that + alts (unless they consider alts as separate users?) should lead to closer to 400k (or slightly above) for TQ, and another 100k:ish for Serenity, which neatly coincides with the ratios of online population, and with pretty much all other estimates.

So that means we've shown 500k to be entirely plausible through three different methods by now.

Any final aprox number or persons playing eve? I don't have the time to read everything posted.

This is where you fail and i do mean fail. Just like that cry of "you just have to be right", saying "Most things are a matter of perspective" is something that is ONLY said by people who tend to be wrong but tend to not be able to take responsibility for being wrong.




And yet YOU (shocker lol) have had more attention from moderators than any of us had. And everyday you are in the exact same conflict, usually with people who think factually and reasonably.

Despite all of that, you can't internalize the simple fact that the common theme in all of these discussions is YOU? Have you ever stopped for a single second and though "hmmm, it might be my approach to posting that elicits that response"? If you had any ability to be honest with yourself, I believe you'd see what soooo many others (including me) are able to see about what you post.

You remind me of the divorced old rich lady who used to live down the street from me. My mother almost died laughing when she told us that the old lady told her "you know, I'm starting to think that after 9 divorces...it just might be me that's the problem". Even 20 years later I can recall the tears in my mothers eyes as she laughed as hard as she's ever laughed in shear astonishment.

If you ever can bring yourself to accept that most of the problem her is you, I to will laugh...in astonishment.



Back on topic, the game is fine, what you FEEL about the server is provably incorrect. Stop saying funny isht like that and people will stop laughing at you.

He'll have to keep trolling, because that's his last line of (ego) defense. If you're like me, you simply count his (and people like him) descent into blathering madness as a victory :) .

Yes because every single one of WoWs vaunted "12 million players" was a unique individual person, they didn't count second accounts in THAT picture no sir. Same with League of Legends and their x million players claims, they sure don't count smurf accounts or alts!

This is how MMO companies count "people", the number of monthly accounts logging in, or the number of monthly accounts PAYING THEM. They don't care if one person is logging in 100,000 of those accounts, its still 100,000 accounts.

I pay 3 of my accounts with plex and they have no card data associated with them. Anyway why does it matter? If CCP start telling us how many actual PLAYERS they have do you think every other MMO company will follow in their footsteps and stop counting active accounts? I think not.

You understand it wrong.
