A lot of people probably just don't know what time that is in relation to their own timezone.
For those on the US east coast that's 1pm to 3pm, on a saturday.

I see nothing wrong with using alts. All PCU records were broken with the help of alts. And the last one was broken with the help of mass botting. At least now that has been beaten down to some extent.
The peak typically occurs between 1800 and 2000 eve time so the current plan has the right timing.
But why Saturday the 15th? Sunday is the typical biggest day.
Sunday as in late, late US time on Sunday?

It's easy...I am in Mountain time which is -7 GMT. I subtract 7 hours from whatever time it is in EVE. Pacific time is -8 if I am not mistaken and Central and Eastern are -6 and -5 respectively. I think...

Number of alts logged into Eve: 55,935.

Thank you to all who participated in this monumental acheivement! You have impressed everyone and we broke last years numbers by 3 actual people! Woohoo!

I have an even easier way.
I look at the clock on the eve client and my clock, then I know when is when and what is what.

What about groups of players all playing on a single internet connection? Housemates, LAN parties, Cafes, etc.

The thing is, the previous login record was set during an alliance tournament when CCP called for a mass login at the peak of Eve's popularity.
Eve has been bleeding subscribers since the summer of rage and shows no indication of that trend turning around.
THere just aren't enough eve players left to go for the record. Sorry. |

I didn't realise the record was 63k until I read it in this thread. Can't see it happening at this point in time tbh. Best of luck though. |

Before you break the record, you have to deliver an expansion that entices about 10% more players to play. I tend to agree with this, I rather see an increase in subscriptions with real dudes/dudettes behind their screen than log in the gazillions alts for fluff and funky stuff . We're still seeing the higher numbers Vaerah mentioned in sarcasm. I fail to see why logging in alts as a show of support and appreciation to CCP is a problem.
Because fail it's nothing but fail.
You log in 1000 accounts you're still 1 dude stupid or nerd or whatever human stupidity it's possible, but you're still ONE fecking dude.
1000 different dudes are 10000000-¦% far more interesting to have on the long run, be it for the company, be it for the community
Seems I have a different opinion and I'm actually quite proud of it. I'm not interested by fluff but by real stuff, if Eve becomes or is all about fluff then I'm loosing my time and I should rather give my money to blizzard or to the bar close. I hate the feeling of having my opinion being manipulated by useless nerds just good to play with numbers they don't even agree in between themselves. |

And there lies one of the major issues with Eve....I'll buy another alt! 
Alts are the true cancer of EVE, and the very attitude makes any record meaningless..
The game needs more players, not more alts.......

If the current micro-trend continues, we'll see about 51.5k logged in tonight.
I don't know if there has been a single PCU record that hasn't been recorded on a Sunday. The last records have all been combinations of naturally high populations (Sundays) + the last day of some event such as an alliance tournament (also Sundays). So trying to scramble people to log in on a day when the natural tide of players goes against that effort is probably a bit wasteful.

Pish. Records are set with afk alts. Does stretch the "U" bit of the acronym, but that's pretty overrated anyway. |
