First of all, this is old news.

Secondly, about half of those are free to plays. They pretty much don't count.

As well as the eve numbers are also based on the majority of the accounts are a single person (cough Rain, the dusette attention grabbing people, and other players) having multiple accounts. Eve is built on single account holders relying on multiple accounts to function.

There are people in this game that have 20+ accounts.

what's funny is half of me represents someone else's account load right now. 5 accounts that I started have characters on them that are not "mine." otherwise, the sub numbers would have dropped by a bit, and it means that yes the sub numbers are inflated.

I heard a statistic from an informed source that the average number of accounts per person is 1.5

Obviously the numbers are off then.


Eve should be in the top with 1.5 billion dollars a year while activision make a yearly loss of 400 million with their clearly not-fun game World of Warcraft.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.
