Perpetuum got over 300 new subs in 16 hrs on saturday alone, so much so it crashed the servers because the were so many new accounts all at once. Even if all 4k accounts are actually canceled, in the grand scheme of things, thats like 2% of the entire playerbase anyway, not enough to make a difference to CCPs pockets, but hopefully enough to people to take note, i myself canceled 3 subs, last one expires on july 13th and im personally liquidating everything i own and giving the isk to my corp to help the others that stay with eve, give my corp mates one final boost b4 i leave, been playing for 6 years and been upset with how ccp have been changing the game for the past 2 years, this past week was just the icing on the cake for me.
Dont forget, the logg in numbers will still be high for awhile, because people that have canceled their subs, might have bought a 1 yr sub before all this madness started, but over time as the subs start to decrease, you'll notice it big time in the markets, where it'll hit most, so ya, good luck to ya :D
Unfortunately, that statement is pretty naive.
I downloaded Perpetuum just to see if it was a decent game. I have no intention at all of leaving EvE. I may actually sub over there at PO too. Reminds me of the old table top Battletech games...sorta. Pretty laggy right now. I suppose that's due to all the trial noobs who've created accounts there.
It's pretty clear that the number of new PO trial accounts absolutely cannot be used to determine the true count of those leaving EvE permanently.
