EVE Information Portal

At EVE Vegas 2015, CCP Quant showed off a number of statistics about the current economic state of EVE Online. Now, he's back again to share his amazing graphs with everyone. Take a look in the latest dev blog to see all the juicy details.

Also, I'll take this space to gloat a bit — Deklein, #5 production value in the game, behind only the regions hosting major trade hubs. Booyah!

lol incursions

Numbers!

(raw numbers pls )

CCP Quant,

You should considering checking out Tableau as a tool to assist you in constructing graphs/visualizations. It will integrate with R and it provides really nifty features and allows for interactive data. The license for it is fairly priced, and its amazing what you can do with it in a short time!

YAY! DATA!

Do please provide more data regarding the PCU!
- like how many of them are active or passive (just sitting in station totally AFK)
- how many of them can be tied to how many people (read. number of accounts actively used by single individual)
- number of average (active or passive) accounts used by people
- etc.

The day everything you can have in EVE Online must be produced by players, is the day EVE Online will start some real problem.

Quoting "The Dark Knight":



Due to the policies enforced by EVE Online mechanics, the only agent who have the real reason to keep it running is CCP through the NPCs. Due to the lore and gameplay of EVE, contrary to the real World, the environment is very apocalyptic and most people are well described by that quote.

For most people in other games it would be unreasonable to spend thousands of dollars just to make a mess, because no matter what you do, the domain of the game universe is always NPC. The not so big difference EVE shows in that regard generated through its history a myriad of people ready to make their money's worth in power. Those people are only limited by the side of EVE that is indeed NPC controlled.

The day EVE Online neglect that power will be the day CCP gets in the position to be "Some men who just want to watch the World burn", because that is what will happen.

A game World with that kind of player control will interest little for people actually wanting to build something, yet that EVE mechanics clearly benefits destructing more than constructing.

I do so love this part. I run incursions from time to time and they are cool but the rewards the pay out are highly unbalanced in high sec because of the security that comes with being in high sec. This is why High Sec has spawned several incursion running communities while none have spawned soley for low/null incursions even though they pay better. High Sec incursion defenders love to deny that this imbalance exists.

High Sec incursions should be adjusted to take into account the value of having automated CONCORD response to aggressors, OR CONCORD should be turned off in incursion sites (perhaps with incursion sites offering instead defensive buffs to shields and armor like wormholes do to compensate, so as to not turn incursion sites into total gank zones but rather to just even out the risk/reward equation).

Nice post.

QUOTE from 3. graf:
"Here you can see that, contrary to some conclusions that can be drawn from the PCU graph, activity is not going down overall. If we normalize it by unique logons, we rather see those numbers increasing, meaning that those playing now contribute relatively more to the sandbox than the general population in the previous years, which is a great sign"

But if you whant to compare don´t you have to take the prize index into account.
I mean to get those to, to make sens together. the graf of total value destroyed vs. the total value of end products has to be ajusted for prize change.

Ore am i missing somthing ?

Excellent blog, thanks.

I don't generally care about this sort of thing but incursions do seem to be paying out an awful lot for such a small number of players doing them.
