False unless you are saying all adults have kids, which is false.
In fact summer came early this year for some of us.

And who needs a Holiday when the weather is like it is ?

Oh dear god. It's called sarcasm. Try re-reading that entire string of posts again in a British accent *facepalm*

That's the propaganda.
The huge drop happened when NC got replaced by Moonswarm and they nerfed the Signature anoms tied to Sov index making them all onboards.
It hasn't recovered since.

I've been playing some Diablo 3 and enjoying the absolutely amazing weather. I'm sure I'm the only one and that Eve is dying.

Thanks for posting that info, always nice to see confirmation.


I like it when people basically selectively quote blog posts without even quoting anything.

Don't have to quote anything since the info is available just by clicking the links and reading, please try it sometime.

See the blog entries above. The summer slump is a myth.


See other coinciding factors in something called "The Real World" and add those in to the equation, as any company anywhere in the world does, and try not to base assumptions purely on one limited data set.

EDIT: If I had the time or the inclination, I could probably Google search any and all other "Real World" factors that take place around the same time every year and prove that the summer slump is indeed a real thing. However I feel that this would simply be a massive waste of time as the doomsayers will simply do as they always do, ignore any and all other mitigating factors and continue to scream that the sky is falling.

lmao. i guess facts just aren't enough for some people. the average age of an eve player is around 30. Work is year 'round. summer is irrelevant. there never was much to the argument.

I didn't selectively quote anything. The links are there. The information is there. It is remarkably detailed. The second link is one of the most famous articles ever written about EVE. It was quoted absolutely everywhere. CCP developers and management read the blog.

So you're saying the majority of EVE's playerbase is in high school, with the average skewed by a decent number of octogenarian players?

Actually, age is fairly irrelevant. Adults working full time typically use summer months for vacation time and traveling.

Daily activity charts don't really tell us much, what tells the tale is the number of subscriptions.

Those are the numbers I would like to see.

seriously...

many real-time logging solutions do - because English reads left to right.

the most important (current) data is always fixed on the left (where it is easily accessible) while the older data gets pushed off towards the right while fading into irrelevance.

To reiterate the many before me, it reads current to past
3rd grade science class covers this btw lol

Also, anyone else notice lately how many people have tags that say they hate CCP or CCP suck and yet they still play eve and post suggestions in the forums... methinks theyre butthurt cause they posted bad ideas and CCP didnt immediately take their bad idea and implement it lol
