Really quick question. Since when does prime time have 25k people logged in? I just re-activated my account for the upcoming winter expansion and last time I checked, it was usually around 50k-60k. Has it just been an off-week or is this pretty common?

I've been subscribed for a week now. It's always use to roam in the high 50's during prime time. I guess there's a lot of new games. I have been playing skyrim all week :P

subs will rebound once the promises are actually delivered. for now, there is no reason to resub. you can observe the graphical improvements on youtube.

Peak is still around 45000, which is about what it typically was a year ago. The highest PCU was around 60k. The difference now it seems is not the max logged in over the course of a day, it's the minimum. Used to be you'd only see it at 20k in India prime time, now it's there most of the day. I suppose it could reflect progress in the war on bots, but I somehow doubt it.

I think the slew of AAA titles released in the last few months has taken its toll. So has the plex prices. I've unsubbed most of my accounts personally. Time out has made me wonder if Eve is value for money. Real money that is. I can't say I'm rushing to open my wallet.

Maybe a lot of people are wondering if they can't hit that sweet spot of time in vs plex out, eve just isn't worth their $15.

Maybe I am just talking ****. We'll see.

Not just a Sunday, it was a Sunday leading up to an expansion, and the 8th Alliance Tournament. But yes, I realized that shortly after I posted my antagonizing remark, however, PCU over the recent months hasn't dropped too much.

Thanksgiving holiday is next week (runs Thursday-Sunday, and the Friday is a "big" shopping day called "Black Friday").

A lot of folks that I know (and I'm personally one of them) are taking the next two weeks to play other games until the expansion hits. Only reason I'm logging on this week and next is to tend to my PI and production lines and make sure that I have everything stockpiled for what I want to get done after the expansion hits.

Uhm...since it's a Wednesday and most of us have work and/or school to attend?

I saw roughly 43,000 online this past weekend.

I can't get rid of my darn signature!  Oh, wait....
