Do we know how many toons are currently in Eve online? Active/Inactive/Banned, all of them? I can't find any reference to what the number would be, even an educated estimate.

1 million*





* give or take 999,999 and a factor of 100. Really.. what does it matter.. why would this information be useful in any way.. why should anyone a CCP even take time to answer?

It appears that it's a lot less than it used to be. I've got 14, but only two are active.

Has been used as long as I can remember in MMOs to signify characters. Probably from the idea that all video games are animated therefore cartoons.

I think it's a WoW thing. We'd need to ask Gandalf... or get one of the hobbits to do it for us.

The last "real" number of ever created characters I got from CCP was a few years ago, at that time it was around 12 million, so I wouldn't be surprised if that number is now closer to 14-15 million.

The numbers I have on eveboard is the number of pilots I've discovered so far Smile

Chribba, do you have any method to determine active pilots, as ones that are on currently subbed accounts?

The hobbit doesn't know, so it's not in the same category.

Based on names it's around 6.5 million since 2003. Those actually active is much much less.

Pretty thorough IMHO as you have my original character listed on /global & he was deleted in 2004 :D

I think a better question is: does EVE still see the 60k+ numbers of toons logged in like they did pre-Incarna days?
