Not sure if this is news or not.
Hilmar did an interview where he claimed 900k total active accounts including Dust. So Dust has around 400k active accounts according to Hilmar if we assume Eve is still around 500k as per the last news we had on accounts.

Depends what they classify as "active" on a free game. I don't play Dust so I don't know, is there any beneficial reason to have more than one account like in Eve? |

active dust accounts don't require a subscription.
An active dust account is anyone who as played dust.

I wonder how they define an "active" dust account.
Looking at eve offline for the last 24 hrs, eve peaks at just over 45k concurrent users, dust peaks at just under 4k concurrent users.
Is an active account one that tried the "free" game on the play station network for an hour two months ago and then didn't bother logging on since? The news (400k dust bunnies, 500k eve players) is of course great if true, but it kinda doesn't jive with known server graphs. |

4-500k accounts for a free to play title is nothing. On F2P they reason in term of milions.
Also don't say if counting the chinese server too. And is fun doesn't say how many of these 900 are from EVE and how many from dust.

Dust has like 4,000 concurrent players per day, it's really quite low: http://eve-offline.net/?server=dust
Eve has 40k concurrent players and 500k subs (active players), so I'd wager dust really has 50k or so active players in reality. |

TBH it seems to have stabilized at 3k to 4k Concurrent players max in 24 hours.
So while its not getting worse it really isn't getting any better. |

There was a time when 4,000 online was a record day for EVE. They kept at it and today we have over 50,000 on many days.
It's the nature of making outside-the-box games. Dust is still new and if CCP keeps improving it, it will keep growing as well. Just because everyone wants it to fail for their own malicious reasons, doesn't mean it will fail.
While I'll never play it myself as I'm a die hard PC gamer, I only wish the best for CCP to make dust live up to it's potential.

4k Eve players that own a PS3.
I'm waiting for a PC release of Dust.
Should you count the same person more them once anyway?
When Valkyrie launch they will claim 1,5 milion players universe, even thou they are the same 500k eve players. |

EVE players wanted DUST to fail before it was even released, and now that it's been out for a while and still doing mediocre they act all surprised and angry and say it's all CCP's fault.

EVE has 50k peak online during weekends and there are 500k accounts. Dust have 4k peaks and therefore there are 50k players at best - and 70-80% play for free so there are like 10-15k paying customers (20-30% paying customers = good number for F2P game). Sounds like pure win for f2p game which consumed millions to develop.
Most likely 400k number = accounts registered during a year. |

They never put chinese server in coutn. They already said that. Chinese server is not administrated by CCP. They licensed the game for another company.

No. Eve players did not wanted it to fail. We predicted it would fail because CCP was sttuborn to not release it for PC and not link it DIRECTLY to EVE sov system.
That was the ONLY chance Dust ever had to be successfull... now its gone. Dust is dead

Bullshit.

Because diversifying your target audience on a different but related product is totally a bad idea.

No, it isn't. It's not doing terrific, but there's no reason it can't do better with improvements. It's not like EVE did all that great when it first came out.

Clarify "EVE players", because I have an alliance full of Dust fans that refused to believe it would die until I finally came around to liking it post-LAV nerf.

It's possible since you just need a PS3 and Internet connection.
Dust is F2P and grant a minor passive training to one character per account. Anyone that tried it, even in beta, now own a "active account" unless they directly applied for deleting it (process unknown to me, not sure it's even possible). |
