Hey, im just wondering about how many people playing eve on a regular basis at the moment.
NOT the amount of active accounts, because thats pretty misleading.
I mean actual individual persons.
Any ideas or facts? |

How many of those multi box?
Since from that we can make a good guess of a lower limit (the maximum amount of people on the server). |

So far today:
- Why does everyone post with their alts thread
- You know you've been playing EVE too long when ... thread
- How many actual people play this game thread.
What else do we need to complete the recycled thread theme's? |

Good question, some people have 2 or more accounts and they are playing simultaneously all of them. Can't be determined so easily. :/

Just taking a wild guess here, but I believe that for each main account there is on average one other account. So really the amount of players in this game is 1/2 of what may ever be projected, including the amount of members in an alliance.
That being said, CCP would never make an attempt to state the number of actual pilots in EVE. It wouldn't look as good as you'd hoped. |

Thinking the same.
I really like this game (playing since 2006), it deserves way more players.
But multi accounts is one helluva big downside of eve.
Though CCP is just another company that needs to make money. |

Multiboxing is ruining pvp thread?

I have 4 accounts and I know of others (at least 15 people) that have from 8 to 15 accounts. I know a few others that have from 30 to 100 accounts.
In my opinion, there are only, perhaps 75K actual people playing Eve, all total, including Dev "alts". |

What I believe you are looking for is how many unique IP connections there are connecting to the server at any given time.

having more than 1 account is really only useful when you have a capital ship. getting cyno's is much easier when you can place them yourself. It's almost a prerequisite to owning one.
either that or you like to multibox PvE stuff

Take the number at login and divide by 3 to account for a statistical average number of alts just sitting in hubs. The remaining number, 1/3, is more or less people actually performing some ingame activity that could be construed as "playing".

As a serious response it's usually total players online divided by 3, which I think is the average number of accounts per player. Yes plenty of people have only one account (Myself included now, but I used to run 12 at the same time.) but you have a lot of people 10+ multiboxing. And if you count the isk farmers, macro miners, and some major null alliance botters it can climb to 30-40+ accounts. Those people however are the minority thankfully. |

Or he is saying that having 1 account in eve is not enough in most cases, like for example if you want to fly a super. |

CCP announced some time ago they had broken 500,000 subscriptions barrier... However I don't remember if that announcement had any details of how many of those subscriptions were unique or anything like that.
