Bitter-vets not logging in their super characters? Or all the alts they need to move them around?
Perhaps CCP underestimated the fallout from angry bitter-vets with 10 - 20 or more accounts, Most Titan pilots have at least that many.....

+1 for bot whacking. The numbers fluctuate. Titan tears are on... but I think we will see a spike after fanfest. It's an important moment for CCP particularly after last summer... and I'm wagering they deliver in spades (because they can). I think people will be excited about the future again after the keynote. Just my 2 isk...

seriously looks like a loggin high of 34,000 today, about -10,000 from Monday or any other ordinary weekday.
Could be: Titan nerf news and they all RageQuit,
New Anti-Bot mechanics working all too well,
or, ???????

^^This.
There's also a lot of people playing Mass Effect. I know it's been eating into my RL productivity lately. I also don't usually put a lot of time into EVE right after a patch, because there is always stuff that is not working right for about a week or so.
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'no.' |

20 accounts for a video game ..... guess you're getting your money's worth for the first account. GÇ£The open-minded see the truth in different things: the narrow-minded see only the differences.GÇ¥ |

Used to seeing 43K + Actually, 43k for a Wednesday has been a very recent peak number, with 40k being a much more common number, but we're not at peak hour yet and we're in a period when they've killed a lot of 23.5/7 accounts. Come back in three hours or so and see what the peak is. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

I logged in this morning maybe15 minutes after dt and there were only a few hundred people. Normally there is a few thousand and I had to double check to see I didn't accidentally start the Sisi client. There was an update after DT and people have been having problems with this new launcher thing... even CEO's of large IT companies. I hear voices and they don't like you very much! |

Seems like it peaked at 41k GÇö a little less than previous weeks, but not out of line compared to the other post-bot-ban evenings. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

CCP Srgeegs has said he has started a new, persistent bot killing effort. I hope its not episodic, like a wave every 2 weeks. Then the bot runners just got to time it and move assets just before the next wave.
I do note that its been about 2 weeks since the last wave, so many accounts just came out of ban. Those botters may have started a new account to bot on, figuring it would hide their activities. But when CCP Sreegs bans you for botting, he bans ALL your accounts. So maybe a bunch of botters who thought they were being clever just had a pile of accounts banned.
I also hope hes found a reasonable way to remove ill gotten assets. Otherwise the ban would just become a cost of doing business. I am running for the CSM. Take a look at my ideas. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

I recently closed 6 accounts myself basically because CCP has taken this awesome game, and bashed the crap out of it into something almost resenbling the fun game of EVE we used to have.
Too much of the game is broken as far as pvp goes with bugs disconnects and other stupid crap and CCP feels it is still better to release more shiny stuff and carrots than to fix the game as a whole.
Basically, Hilmar lied to us about concentrating on fixing the game. |

Wow.
Anyway, in Reality.................
Yuppers, it's peaked today at 41,000 but had been peaking closer to 50,000 Friday and Monday and most of last week, so this is not explained by the last round of BotBans. New BotBans already maybe ? It would be funny if its QQ Ragequit over the Titan nerfing. Doubt it though. Or....surely not this many Geeks are busy on this Pi Day (3/14)......

If you liked it in the past w/o them fixing it then HTFU, if you didn't don't get all nostalgic and cry about it on the forums.

No, it's explained by it being a Wednesday, which is always a fairly low-populated day, usually fighting it out with Thursdays and Fridays for the GÇ£lowest pop of the weekGÇ£ slot. The difference between today and previous Wednesdays fall well within the realm of a botban explanation.
And no, Fridays haven't been in the 50k region forGǪ ohGǪ ever (or at least not for as long as I've been collecting data, since mid-May last year) GÇö Saturdays and Mondays have been known to peak above it, but that was before the Incarna population crash, and they haven't quite recovered to those levels yet. Only Sundays have gone above 50k in recent months (starting with Crucible 1.0, with a predictable dip below that during Christmas and new-years).

Argh. I'm confusing my 40's and 50's
Indeed this does seem normal now that the day has gone on. Yesterday's and this morning's low numbers must have been 'trouble with the launcher'. OMG He Spent His Free-áAURUM !
