Not a whine before you scream, but why is there some what million subscribers and only 200,000 EvE subs.
I could tell you why Guild Wars has so many more people than Eve but I'd prolly get banned.
No idea why WoW is so successfull. I tried it for two minutes and was put off by the comic graphics, the sterile-seeming world and the outlook of many hours of fedex missions. Maybe a combination of marketing, media coverage, general "cuteness", some word of mouth, and the fact that you don't get killed on your first day in your newly grinded ship erm I mean armor by some guy in a command ship erm I mean by some level 60 paladin with a ray of death or something.
Or maybe its just that CNN says some girls play WoW, too.
I wouldn't call Eve the "light" though. Other games do many things right, actually more things right, but with a different design philosophy.

Probably because Blizzard marketing department list all accounts ever created (including trials) that dont get banned as "active accounts". Even if no-one has played 'em in 2 years.
fwiw I don't trust ANY figures of these kind unless I'm the dba and have personally run the query :p

Really, would anyone want a WoW sized player population in EvE? You think Jita is crowded now?
Isn't that just another way of saying that Eve doesn't scale well?
