Do you remember thread "Let me to Jita"? When it was last time you have seen one? I haven't seen Jita closed for like 2-3 months already.
Another sign: forums. GD is almost dead lately. Warfare&Tactics has like 1-2 active threads.... Other forums not much different...

Some say this is normal and people just went to vacations. It can be. But overall activity is very low currently.


Because you and so many other players don't understand that this game's activity is cyclical and has always been highest after content releases, and that the current PCU record was set just a year ago and, surprise surprise, shortly after Burn Jita 2

Well it is a surprise to see anyone connect Bore Jita to the highest CPU.

Hmm, let me think of an alternative explanation....

Oh, I have one, the 10th anniversary of Eve Online.

I will do my business in and near Jita long before start time.

I feel bad for the majority of the player base that does not read the forums or blogs.
Who know how many subs will be lost this weekend.

*Snip* Removed off topic part of the post. ISD Ezwal.


petitioned for impersonating ISD and talking about enforcement and bans.

This is why we need WIS.
Let's just all stay docked up,sipping wine or quafe while the peanut gallery dies under a firework of goons.

Or maybe subs will drop dramatically during burn jita and they will spike back after it's done.

Hey Andski, if you want to think Bore Jita is the reason for the player record peak, and not the 10th anniversary when the whole, 'lets get as many folk online for the 10th anniversary' was heavily promoted on the forums, you do that.

It is just so sweet and adorable of you.

I don't see how Burn Jita is a problem ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S BEEN ANNOUNCED WEEKS BEFOREHAND.

Just...stay away from Jita for a weekend, jeez...

I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do?

Stupid ppl gotta be stupid

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

Hey Josef Djugashvili, maybe you don't realize that my post was in response to people saying that player counts are dropping because of events like Burn Jita, even though the current PCU record was set after many, many such events, indicating that such events are not unhealthy for the game

But please continue to totally misconstrue my point

I need to make instadock, instaundock and a few more bookmarks
before the party starts...

Hm.... empty cup.

Andski, it was you who posited the link between Burn Jita and the peak in players online, not I.

See your post 122 for details.

The first Burn Jita was a great player made event, and all credit to the goons etc for setting it up.

Second one, oh well, it livened up a few days.

Third one, Bore Jita.

Spinning the honey are we?
Does even the lowliest drone believe this propaganda?

Online numbers are approaching the terrible down spike in 2011, When CCP decided to admit they didn't give a crap about their subscribers....
But you just keep spinning it son, I'm sure you'll enjoy the peace and quiet. Big smile

Thanks, but I really only need one bookmark right at the undock for that. :)

I can only fly minmatar frigates, (ignoring my racial starter skills completely)
so my "preferred engagement range" is whatever either my 250mm or 280mm provide me with... :)


No need for anything bigger, really. :)

Personally, I never understood why people have a problem with burn jita. It's easy to avoid and it generates pretty explosions. Also makes an occasionally hilarious loss mail. What's not to like?

NOW I get it!*

You are talking about my combat bookmarks I used as -10 in Hek
for my long range Thrasher and Tornado engagements!

How in hell do you remember this??? :D

Good times!
Too bad I can't even fit a standard 50km Thrasher anymore. :)

Thanks for reminding me! :D


Good night! :D

TYVM Goons for keeping things interesting and fun.

I really am wasting my breath though, when you can avoid questions from Hexxx and RAW23 like that you must have some seriously devoted investors. --Elizabeth Norn
