The number you need to tell if Alpha Clones failed or not is the share of new players that keep playing compared to the old trail. And you would need to know if some vets were droven away by the new model. But active player total has far more causes to look at.
Player numbers had a couple of reason to go up and down and it is hard to tell what had the biggest impact:
-Players coming back because of alpha and subbing again because they found a couple of old friends online
-New players starting because of Alpha Clones and staying
-Players unsubing off-grid booster alts
-Players taking a break after month of war campaigns
-Players unsubing alt accounts because they switched from multi-account mining to Roqual mining
-What time of the year and what part of the GÇ£EVE is Great GÇôEVE is DeadGÇ¥ curve we are in.
I witnessed FTP models that drove long time players away and CCP was very careful with their own plan. Alpha is nothing that would make you say: GÇ¥AWWW freeloaders, **** this I am out.GÇ¥ EVE does better than all other sandbox MMOs and I think CCPs product and brand development (for EVE, canGÇÖt tell for the other CCP games) is on spot.

Patience? This is not a question of patience. The game is simply hostile to new players. Being a pushover for months is anything but fun. What is the point of wasting a few month only to begin actually paly this game while there are others with interesting content for new players? One have to be quite a masochist to enjoy the beginning of one's career in EVE. No wonder most newcomers choose to leave.
Yes and no. Yes, when you get into a ship, undock and fly somewhere in low-sec, null-sec or Wormholes you will get shot down sooner or later. EVE is very hostile, I would even say the most hostile game I know. But this is not a new player thing, I would say at least 90% of EVE's players die if they just undock and leave the safety of highsec or their corpGÇÖs/allianceGÇÖs space solo. PVP in EVE is about being very sneaky or slippery when solo, forming fleets and gangs, planning, luring into traps, flying hard counter fits and any other advantage you can think of. ItGÇÖs NOT for everyone and is was never meant to be. |

Over 40k players logged in on Saturday and Sunday again, I am sure CCP does not mind this kind of "fail". |
