You sure about that? ^_^
Generally about 25% of subscribers are online during peak hours, we have about 160k subscriptions and PCU of about 35k, so it seems pretty normal, at about 20% if I'm not wrong.

Eve is not much about keeping users. CCP said before the average time people spend ingame is about 7 months. Which means that in order to thrive, CCP needs to continue attracting new players. Now with the bad publicity, that is the place where CCP is most vulnerable. Game that gets extremely bad reviews is not likely to pick up many new players.

 With some though I guess a lot of us do hope that the "I quite because ...." actualy does lead to the player quiting as most of the time it is nothing more then short sightedness from the player in question.
I have to say the missile one was by far the most fun. Though the tracking and double MWD nerfs would come quite close.

Should you disagree with me, well I guess that is because I disagree with you. If you have a problem with that please feel free not to tell me. |

Running Mwd while in warp nurfed:
'omg if i cant exit warp at max velocity how will i ever get to gate b4 Tankceo kills me'
Mwd stacking nurf/Oversized Afterburner nurf:
'omg this is a legitamate tactic and game mechanic, my ship is Ment to be this agile'
Re-route of yulai travel paths:
'You just killed eve, wtf is everyone going todo with stuff they need to sell??"
Yulai was a close second runner up but the biggest whine fest i can remember was:
Cap Power relay Vs Shield booster nurf:
'Omfg i cant go afk at belts overnight and chain close range npc with smartbombs??? You cant play without a tank -> QUIT'

There arent exact numbers, but less than 20% of subscribers has more than one account which means 80% or more has a single account. Roughly it means at least 128k of the accounts are individual subscribers, probably a bit more.

Wow, I thought it was much higher than 20%.

Depends how they determine it, if they just track accounts paid with the same credit card they will miss all people who use GTCs to "fuel" alts.

The case now can always be made when CCP moves to ban someone for an exploit that "one of your own did it". Sure it's privately owned and operated, but now we know for sure that cheating is tolerable under particular circumstances, and if you're not in the inner circle, you're out of the game. Thanks for letting us know that now.
Freaking creator of the game, personally helping to pave the way for an alliance is definitely deus ex machina no matter how you slice it.
Joke's on me for joining EVE without realizing this. I applaud you for taking the money you got out of me, bravo:

Name changing policy especialy the 4S corporation and S.A.S. names. Lot's of ppl canceled their accounts back then, but I can bet that's not what made CCP give them their names back.

Ketrin I just do not care anymore and here is why:
There is proof that certain BoB members broke the EULA (and even an admission in DBP's case) and yet they were never punished. Ironically, people are being punished NOW for even asking about it. (Sir Molle published K's RL info, Dianobolic made RL threats about K, DBP Preacher admitted to trying to buy an account from a friend--all against the EULA. The same EULA that CCP has used to ban people for far less--that's just what's been proven).
I am SICK of that.

You are posting in the wrong thread. This one is to mock people like you. Good job...

As for Quiting whines, I always enjoyed the "Tier 3 BS ohNoes!11"

Your figure is based on an assumption that those with more than 1 account will have 2. While not impossible, from personal experience with ASCN as well as seeing the figures for BoB for example, I think you are underestimating the number of accounts being third+ accounts, and thus overestimating the number of individual account holders.
Let me give you an example.
Say you have 200k accounts. 100k of them are 1 person 1 account. 1 guy has the other 100k accounts. You will have 99.999% of people only having one account, and yet still 50% of accounts being held by multiple account holders.
Personally, I think that once people have set the step to take a second account, a third and 4th are not far off.

I would imagine that there is a 'human being' attached to each account though regardless of how it is paid for.
If you didn't keep correct information attached to that account, you would have some real problems if anything ever went wrong with it...

It can be read in: 200K subscirbers, 20% are multiple accounts, so 160K single account subscribed (and 160K subscribers), and 40K multiple accounts (at an average ot 4 accounts/person, another 10K subscribers).
BTW, for the whine about bans, as CCP don't give informations on bans and for sure the involved alliances will not give info on the number of people eventually banned, you don't know if someone has been banned.
And K has commited RL felonies, and that give reasons to ban him, indipently from putting RL info in forum or not.

So, can you remember some big 'I quit' issues over the years? Which one was the one that created the most whineage?
One big "I quit" wave was back in 2006 when Cheyenne Shadowborn said she'd quit. I vividly remember about half of the subscribers saying "then I quit, too" and one guy asking for sleeping pills. It was the Take That disbanding allover again
