See the blog entries above. The summer slump is a myth. |

See the blog entries above. The summer slump is a myth. See other coinciding factors in something called "The Real World" and add those in to the equation, as any company anywhere in the world does, and try not to base assumptions purely on one limited data set. EDIT: If I had the time or the inclination, I could probably Google search any and all other "Real World" factors that take place around the same time every year and prove that the summer slump is indeed a real thing. However I feel that this would simply be a massive waste of time as the doomsayers will simply do as they always do, ignore any and all other mitigating factors and continue to scream that the sky is falling.
lmao. i guess facts just aren't enough for some people. the average age of an eve player is around 30. Work is year 'round. summer is irrelevant. there never was much to the argument. |

I didn't selectively quote anything. The links are there. The information is there. It is remarkably detailed. The second link is one of the most famous articles ever written about EVE. It was quoted absolutely everywhere. CCP developers and management read the blog.
Get your head out of your ass. |

You can take up the specifics with CCP. It's their statistic. |

How many national holidays take place around that period of time every year worldwide? Should also be noted that according to an IPP report from 2011, the most popular time period for working men and women to take a summer holiday was in the last week of May through to the first week of July.
Being a 33 year old man with no kids, I can tell you that I and many people I know of my age, prefer to take our holidays slightly before or slightly after, peak season. This way we can avoid the real "Summer Season" when everyone takes their screaming children away for a week of sunburn and tantrums. But of course, I guess I and my friends are the only thirty somethings in the entire western world that do this......Summer is far from irrelevant, except to those who wish to believe the sky is falling no matter how much contradictory evidence there is.
Using actual information, instead of theories based on your vacation habits, show me the summer slump with numbers: http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility
Then we can talk some more. |

I read every word, sir. The proposition is simple: using the numbers from Chribba's site, show us that the numbers go down between late May and early September each year. It should be simple for you to do if you are correct. Since Jester has been kind enough to do the number crunching for us, it baffles me that you continue this pretense. Show me the numbers that prove Jester wrong . I will happily admit that I was wrong if you show me the numbers.
I'm not even sure why you're arguing about it, other than you'd like to believe that EVE is growing and flowering. It's not. EVE isn't dead, and it's not likely to die tomorrow. But in a game built around player-driven content, stagnation or decline in the population is a potentially serious problem. |
