Last time a few thousand accounts were cancelled which made CCP take notice. This time it's a couple dozen so meh

Id be surprised if even one hundred left. its summer people do things other than eve,yes sounds strange but it can happen.

yup just created the thread to prove people whining over nothing lol

No ppl are whining over things they think are wrong with the game, not nothing to them.

Tal

I dont know what wrong with me or with this game, i dont play eve so much like before, i have still 3 active accounts but i spent more time on other games internet surfing ,etc also i spent a lot time on EvE forum than in game and i track CCP progres and plaers posts, today i login to eve for 5 minutes i move form ibura solar system to jita to sell some stuf, but while i dock to jita and i open new inventory this push me to press ctrl+q beacuse this garbage make me sick :)

i actually believe its cos of incursions nerf.
About 70% people just stopped doing incursions and simply vanished. I think they decided to unsubscrive the characters to save money.

the ui is fine just people dnt wana adjust to it. also people care about the game and dont play people go to fan fest n havnt played for years

personally ive never done incursions just seems like a pve version of what null sec is

and i open new inventory this push me to press ctrl+q beacuse this garbage make me sick :)

Maybe, im old player i play over 5 years i dont like changes espetialy if somthing old was natural and free form bugs, probably that why i just hate this.

Last time when sanctums got nerfed, everybody went to high sec and logged off and for a while they disapeared until incursions

youll get used to it eventually its not much diff its same functionality just in 1 window personally i have the inventory the size of a tiny ass thing in the corner and make the tab on the left real small works a treat

I wont emo rage quit because of UI, i wait for some changes, until this time i wont play eve like before even i dont unsub. I can try adapt to new UI but i dont want adapt to it and this is wired.

EvE is going strong, long live EvE Online

Diablo 3 and Mechwarrior beta are likely more an influence on the game than ppl pretending to unsub


However, if you think about it, at some point CCP have to HTFU and let ppl leave or Goons will own the game more than they do now. All they gotta do in unsub their alliance to get what they want.

15000 subs unsub CCP will fix the problem lol

its not a case of adapting its a case of *drag onto tab* lol

I dont like drag onto tab with new UI i like old inventory, i cant explain this, is like you got new job with good monthly payment but workers and new boss hate you and haras you, so you cant enjoy new job, while in old job you get less money but cool boss and a lot friends who like you, you want back to old job.

I guess if you say it enough, everything is ok?
Not that it's a US holiday on a Monday, which makes it more likely that lonely nerds log in while they still have time remaining on their accounts?

Or that average numbers are significantly down over the last few months..err expansions....

I think JitaGate played a huge part in the unsubs this summer. It wasent that goons were desperatly attempting to troll people it was that CCP went against their promise and put a cap on the population in that system.

The whole point of a persistent universe on a "single shard" is that anybody can go anywhere and see anybody else who is there too. If you put traffic cones and waiting lines you essentially become second life in space.

Ps. 45,000+ is still good result espetialy is Monday a day with low amount people every week. people are in work or school depend time zone.

You do realize that US has a holiday??

On a larger picture, I am forced to ignore all the fudged numbers about EVE subs and perfect record of growth.

Around 18 months ago, several MMO websites put EVE in the 'big league' because it had broke a 500K subscription mark but now you see people talking about EVE having 300K "And growing".

That's a 40% decline in top numbers so someone is selling snake oil.

unless ccp say the numbers its prob wrong

EvE is going strong, long live EvE Online

Last I checked the most recent details CCP have given put us at around 410k subs. It might have broken 500k pre-incarna, but not that im aware of.

Would be nice if they still released the QEN.

45k players is pretty pathetic for the week after an expansion on a holiday in US.

It was also a holiday in a couple european countries: Pentecost

most eve euro players are uk or russian n we dnt have a holiday i dnt think

unsubbing because of a inventory system just plain Rtarded

DevBlog from 2008 with the distribution of eve players around the world (On the bottom of the Blog. I dont know how much that changed over the last 4 years.):
http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=562

For the recordGǪ

GǪalso, the geographical distribution of players throughout the years can be found in the CSM voting results devblogs (about half-way down the page, there is GǣTurnout by country was as followsGǥ and a table that includes the GǣSubscription %Gǥ heading).

That was interesting, thanks for the links, Tippia.
I would be interested in seeing a graph of the same format as the one you linked, but a seasonal graph. I'm just curious as to how the daily numbers are affected during winter and during summer, northern and southern hemispheres.

45k players is pretty pathetic for the week after an expansion on a holiday in US.

I haven't updated them in a while, but I have this one GÇö the eve-offline daily averages graph cleaned up and colour-coded (less noise, each season is clearly marked) GÇö and this one, showing the difference in weekly and monthly averages compared to the preceding year.

Tippia, correct me if I am wrong, but are those charts looking like they are plotting a slow, declining trend ? Looking at those charts for year-on-year, it's a very slow decline, but it's there.

Is there someplace that I could actually obtain the raw data from ?

Interesting to see some sharp peaks in summer. I thought more folks would rather spend their summer vacations outdoors, an exception to that appears to be online gamers.

Im so bored of players whining about this and that.
You should all be grateful CCP developed such an awesome game and continue to put money into it to improve it even further.
