I write algorithms as a living for the top internet companies in the world. For fun I decided to create one that pinpoints the exact number of unique players after you factor in alts and trial accounts.
The truth is after these 2 factors are eliminated there are only 538 unique players on at any given time, the rest are alts. This number is with 99.8% accuracy. |

No method, can't reproduce.
No error margin, no idea if that 98% certainty has an error margin of -¦10000 or -¦1.

Please do not go forward with this story. It cannot get out that only a handful of us in a smoke filled room pull the puppet strings for nearly all of the player generated content that the masses consume to keep up their subscriptions.

Its too late for that. I am only working at the paper as a senior editor undercover, and I've already forwarded my findings to my superiors as the alphabet agency I cannot name. Can I Assemble some ships for you later? Hey CCP, please slush my fund like you did for SOMER Blink. |

Unfortunately with the complete lack of reference material or even so much as an explanation, your post holds as much water as a perfect vacuum.
While the troll replies are quite unintelligible, they do seem to give the impression that people think the number you gave represents the total number of individual players that play EVE when you simply gave the average number of individual players logged into the game at the same time.
I would certainly hope that you simply didn't find out the average number of accounts logged in at the same time and divide by the average number of alts people have. |

My database is already compiled. I used the super computers at the NSA which I'm totally in charge of. Hey CCP, please slush my fund like you did for SOMER Blink. |

I tried to compile a database once but the compiler gave me a fuckton of errors about "Invalid or unknown character" and "Unable to read file". Then it flooded terminal emulator screen with random characters that must have contained some escape sequences that locked up the session altogether.
TLDR - Make sure there are no databases in directories you are compiling, it doesn't end well. |

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response.
