Joia Crenca Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 88	Posted - 2014.12.30 21:00:23 - [1] - Quote I haven't been seeing a rise in online play, but CCP has been making changes here and there (such as removing the clone level and sp loss) that make life nicer. So I'd think we'll probably retain more folks over time, but still, I'd like to see more people playing. Perhaps more adverts in different places that they're shown now?

When my son was born I took a year off of eve, I paid for my three accounts that full year and just kept them training. PCU != Subscriber numbers, nor can you get any real data on subscriber numbers from it. All it says is who has logged in at what time. you could have 100k accounts just training, that don't log in for months, yet they are still there, giving ccp money. OMG Comet Mining idea!!!

It's all just speculations. It could be either way. Unless CCP releases some stats, which is unlikely to happen, we'll never know. I'd leave it at that. How to win EVE Shiny eveboard

DaReaper Net 7 1612	Posted - 2014.12.31 00:41:26 - [11] - Quote is 70k possible? sure, we peaked at I think 63k one time, so 70k is possible. As for stats, there are a few ways that you can figure out how many accounts are paying, though its a bit harder now with dust, some math working off the 6month financials showed a drop of something like 29k accounts. (ccp was down around $200k IIRC) The issue there is dust numbers, as we dunno what % of rev is form dust. You could also get more data in the form of the CSM election and get a rough guestimate on the ammounts as well. But again, dust skews the numbers. If say CCP said you had an 8% vote, then you can mess with at figure and the finances to get a rough idea. The last 'unoffical' count was 500k, before fan fest 2014 and that included dust. So its hard to tell. If you REALLY wanted to some math, you could use staticics to take the last number we had offially, see how many players peaked online during that year, figure out a % and in theory if that holds true always, then you could use the % and the current peak and again get a rough estimate. Then use the financals to see if that supports... looks like I just found me a project to do tonight.. sigh lol OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

Jenshae Chiroptera The Volition Cult 689	Posted - 2014.12.31 02:44:30 - [17] - Quote Do you guys really want more players in EVE? Okay. I warn you; it takes a little effort: You make a basic advert. You print it out. Then you put it in windows of local stores, preferably the comic store or a second hand games store. Mention how to download EVE. Put little pull off tabs with the name of your character on it. When someone contacts you from the advert, you help them. Figure out their style of play. If you got 10 care bears and you are an e-peen ganker tough! Put that effort in and teach them how to do their thing safely. Throw some ISK at them Show them how to fit their ships. Make sure they join a good suitable alliance that will support them. Extra mile is you get them to e-mail you, recommend the game to them, then give them PLEX number 1 so they can have 51 free days. Bonus: You might make some real friends who share your interest, live near you and are not the usual sort of people you would talk to so you could broaden your horizons. CSM Ten movement for change.

Solecist Project The Scope Gallente Federation 12274	Posted - 2014.12.31 11:57:21 - [19] - Quote What matters not is a higher peak number, because that's only a really small timeframe each day. If there were more people playing during timeframes of lower activity, it would be far better, because that means more activity spread out over the day. Daily peak number might still be the same, yet population increased. I know... hard to grasp ... for some at least. Ladies of New Eden YC 117 Calendar by Indahmawar Fazmarai Warning: NSFW!

Lee Sin Priest Republic University Minmatar Republic 8	Posted - 2014.12.31 18:53:48 - [23] - Quote On the flip side of this coin Anyone like to venture a guess as to how many accounts will be unsubbed (have been unsubbed) since the input duplication change?

X Isboxers, Y accounts over Z time = ? So far theres the confirmation of (when I say confirmation, I refer to people on forums saying they have cancelled "dismany" accounts) at least 500 accounts.... There is far more than that. There is the incursion guy from the place LG's are made that is dropping his 200 accounts. The people on the forums who claim they are (Maybe half will) and then you have the interesting problem of the oversaturated Alt market. See if you sell off your 60x capital toons like someone is right now because of the change, you aren't really directly dropping the number of accounts in the game. However all characters have to go to an account. So the math looks like this. Both players staying, character sold = +1 Newb account, 0 change old account = +1 Player ISBox rage quits and sells character = +1 Newb, -1 Ragequiter = 0 The newb was coming into the game anyways, so you have a net change of 0 with all these fire sales, unless they go to a 2nd or 3rd slot on the new account. The problem is newbs don't stay, we can see the graphs on that plain as day. Also people quit all the time, so we need +1's and not 0 change transactions. My guess is that 1% of all active accounts will be lost because of this change. And that number was probably acceptable to CCP. To OP, will we ever see 70k? No, I don't think so. I think Eve is done growing and the best we were ever going to have was the 2012/2013 year.

I think Eve is done growing and the best we were ever going to have was the 2012/2013 year. Very optimistically there is the possibility we're currently playing Eve 2, beta release. You might suspect that current feedback to various beta projects like the new map, drastic (all be it mostly pleasant) UI changes and various efforts on SiSi of late are both part of a new development and release flow as well as Eve 2's open beta project. To be blindingly cheery (feel free to insinuate i should cut back on booster use), one might suspect in a couple years we'll be in a much better place than we are now, playing a wholly new Version of Eve. Oh, it'll still be tranquility with our characters and assets, the fundamentals of Eve as we know them will be mostly still here. But it'll just as equally be drastically improved and changed. With all of this current effort and the new face of Eve to come, it may draw in a new generation of players who wish to participate in the New Eden experience as a whole. From there, real growth in population. New records and explosions in space. Oh, and a darn good reason to have stuck around through the thick n' thin of our player experiences past and present due to :CCP: (Or i should consider cutting back on the synth stuff too)

Regardless of how many bells and whistles they put in EvE, it's still a "2003 hard core gamer mindset" MMO. Yes, they are watering down mechanics to make EvE dumber and shallower (sadly imo) but it's still not the prototype of the 1M subs game. To get substantially or even visibly higher subs CCP would have to take a risky bet: basically lose a lot of their elder playerbase and transform EvE into some shallow but shiny, simpleton oriented piece of crap (console compatible of course!). This is what the "new gen" of gamers want, this is what gets you the millions. Of course this kind of playerbase is fickle and shall drop your product for the next dumby dumb shiny game, but hey, just become another Electronic Arts and create shiny garbage throwaway game after garbage throwaway game.

Sky Marshal Core Industry. Circle-Of-Two 16	Posted - 2015.01.01 15:23:02 - [30] - Quote Jenshae Chiroptera wrote: Do you guys really want more players in EVE? Okay. I warn you; it takes a little effort: blablabla There was a time that CCP published proudly the number of subscribed accounts in the Tranquillity server, mostly inside the Quartery Economic Newsletter. One day, they decided to give a general number who include the China server, but by doing so they hide the specific numbers, and since then, nothing, no new numbers. It is obvious that they decide to hide it because the game is losing subscriptions, as there wouldn't be any interest it it was good numbers... Still, the best way to have more players in EVE would be that we, the actual players, recommend the game to friends and others when possible. Unfortunately, I do the contrary because CCP acts like contemporary artists and break more features with time, so I don't see why I should recommend this game unless I want to share my frustration to everyone I know or become a sort of customer support because I was the one who make them subscribe. I will recommend it only when CCP will change his way of doing things. And it seems that it will be not for this new year
