A new character is a newly created character. Eg one new pilot entry in CCP's database.

Pilot A - born -> 1 new pilot
Pilot A - biomassed -> count still at 1
Pilot A - born again with same name -> 1 new pilot
= two pilots in CCP's database.

So new character to me is simply every time someone creates a character. A character moving between accounts is still the same character. Accounts registered on [eb] is simply people whom chose to post it and does not really reflect the number of real accounts in eve (and I have no way of telling number of accounts since now several api keys can be generated for individual characters on an account).

I never really measured the history of accounts getting added to eveboard.

Ugh, sarcasm is notoriously difficult to detect in online print. Never mind. My bad.

Forums should include Comic Sans as a font for sarcasm

Maybe add a third dimension or a second related graph with statistics of the cumulative totals of new players.

That way, the
http://www.eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility
All time (daily total)
red graph at the bottom could show the total amount of new players.

That of course won't account for the total amount of veteran players online.

It may give a more accurate ratio of who logged in the Past 24 hours.
The same goes for the client data showing the number logged accounts or players...
