All the time I'm wondering when 45000 are online, how many of them are actually human and how many are just additional alts from multiple accs etc.? Well I always thought that EVE is crowded by many humans.. instead it's not many humans, but many multiple alts online belonging to just one guy... it sorta changed the way I see EVE now, especially when in trade hubs, watching all these scum-alts scamming 24/7, or someone else running a mission with a salvager-alt waiting in a Noctis to suck away all wrecks and loot... to speed up making isk.
I don't know if it is a good thing... or a feature (CCP's profit) for lazy guys. Space feels a bit empty now :( |

Do not try to count the humans - that's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth: all goons. |

1 out fo 4 players have a 2nd account or more.
That is only 25% of players , however, for an mmo, this is the highest number you can find. 25% of the people you see or meet in space are an alt ACCOUNT, let alone the countless same account cyno and market alts. So when your in game it feel like half the players are alts becuase well, they are, ccp gave us 3 characters per account, but only 25% of us feel the need to get more than 2 alts. Plus we don't care if our main is offline or not, it's ok becuase once the alt has say, full Research kills, that account now passively collects datacores *set to change*
So yes eve online is a game of alts, get in a good corp you'll find the players. Thankfully most alts don't talk. |

Maybe I am too traditional regarding this, but 1 alt for everyone is the way I'm thinking, especially this would force you to work together with others instead of... with yourself to speed things up. I heard someone has duplicated himself 122 times in this game good lord... whats the point of this? Meeting one person is ok... but not 100 of the absolutely same kind. |

I like how people use calling someone an alt as an insult to suggest they're "less valid" than a main. Remember folks, as an alt, they're still being played by the same person who plays the main. Stealth OST puns and blatant lies since 2009 Jace Errata on Twitter
One day they woke me up so I could live forever It's such a shame the same will never happen to you |

Yes but hiding behind an alt invariably means they are pretending to have null/low/pvp experience, when in reality their "main" is an ice mining high sec bot.
Using an argument from authority is considerably more successful when you aren't a member of the glorious brutor tribe or some such. Doesn't stop people from trying constantly though.

When you realise that there is no Goon, you to can leave the matrix.

He can also assume or add another 25% of players playing/have in between 2 and 8 accounts.
Then add another 25% of players have/play with in between 8 and 15 accounts.
And the last 25% of guys playing/have in between 15 and 30 accounts (happens more often than you can think and blobs help)
The % is for sure not good but anyway these numbers are not interesting to communicate. Whenever I see 40k players connected I can safely think at least 50% of those are alts.

can't afford 3 accounts anymore so, as of the end of this month I won't have any alts.
But tell me, if I take three pimped up flycatchers piloted by three 92 mil SP toons into a Lvl 4 mission - which one would be my main?
P.S. THis is not ALL I do in EvE |
