Released on 6th of May 2003, on the 6th of May 2013 EvE will officially be 10 years old. The current PCU record is 63,170, set in January 2011.
In celebration of EvE's 10th birthday, players of EvE lets challenge ourselves, our alts, our corpmates, our alliance mates, people we play with, people we kill, people we trade with, people we die to, people we meet in local, people we know IRL, people we know from player gatherings and everyone else we know who plays EvE to log in on 5th of May 2013 at 19.00 with the aim of hitting a new Peak Concurrent User record just in time for the birthday celebrations.
Why 5th May, not 6th May? Why 19.00?
EvE has always hit PCU figures on Sundays, and 5th May is a Sunday. Last Sunday we were in touching distance of 60k PCU.
Per these graphs: http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility , 19.00 - 20.00 is the peak time for a Sunday. If we do this right, on 6th May CCP will be able to issue a press release noting 10 year birthday AND a new PCU record.
Why should we, the players, give a **** about PCU, which largely a marketting claim
A marketting coup, and the success of EvE in general means more subscribers. More subscribers means more people to play with, corp with, trade with, kill, be killed by, scam, rob, extort, steal from, share with, help, hinder and stomp on the sandcastles of. Even for bitter vets like me who play Skilltraining: Online, the Second Genesis, there is a huge amount of pleasure to be had from being able to say "yeah you hear about that incredibly successful, incredibly hardcore game, Eve Online? I was relevant in that game, once."

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling. |

You can also add the Sunday peak values to the OP. And go back a bit and dig out some old ones.
Its possible we will set a record before then given current growth.

The name of the game is called EVE: Online or EVE. What is this "EvE" disrespect I keep seeing?
Just stop it.
Respect the EVE.
Thank you.

Throwback to beta when that was how it was referred to. Fixed now.

Yes, logging on more alts that ever is a HUGE achievement! 
The single biggest danger to EVE is the proliferation of ALTS! Kill an alt today!

You're trying to do a record on a weekday that doesn't naturally produce such login highs, your support gathering seems to rely on a single forum post and you don't have any incentives for anyone to join you. Your chances of success without direct CCP intervention or a more experienced and influential organizer is zero. Good luck though. Everyone wants to see the underdog pull out a win. |

Have you actually read the OP? The target is a Sunday for exactly the above reason. Its also almost certain CCP will have its own festivities planned for over that weekend (login to redeem birthday gift! or whatever), making success even more likely. |

Only if its something other than chocolate cake. Chocolate cake gets a buff, for balance.
