ummm the 4th more popular mmorpg is final fantasy 11... which has 500,000 members.
which is a lie but we'll pretend that's not the case :P
making eve the 5th most popular mmorpg.

Im a stil a bit confused, why is it EVE online lagging big time in terms of population behind other MMOs.
EVE is now the 3nd largest full-price western MMO behind World of Warcraft and Conan at just over 230K paid subscribers or paid subscriber equivalents. Runescape and Dofus are larger in absolute terms but they have a significant free-play component and a discounted ($5) monthly subscription price for people who choose to pay.
EVE is bigger than EverQuest, EverQuest II, Lord of the Rings Online, Dungeons & Dragons Online, etc.
In addition, EVE grows every year and has since release. Unlike every other MMO in the market EVE's growth rate is actually increasing not decreasing as time passes.
Here's a lot of data for the curious.
I stand corrected :P
I guess final fantasy 11 was lying! yarr!

Just to be fair Id like to say that majority of MMO comunity prefer to play fantasy (Warrior, Wizzard) type of games, rather than SCI-FI games. Not sure how to explains that, perhpas owing to D&D paper game or smth. Then there is not much market left as such for EVE to chop into by definition.
However I would still argue, that in current state of internet "sophistication" it is very easy to teach players anything, and if your game is genuinly appealing then it will eat into existing market shares of other games.
but MORE people play eve that 98% of fantasy mmorpgs. they are all below eve other than two.

EVE is the only MMO where the average player has something like 2.5 accounts. ;-)

Yes, yes it is:

If you look at it closely, that graph makes no sense :P. Put that way, it means you gain a LOT of skill in short time.
actully it goes back in time when you get pod killed and forget to get a new clone!
EDIT: sorry about all my posts :P I had too many people to reply too while I was reading :P
Right so someone said something about competed with second life. Guess what if eve dumbed down to second life standard it could support over 400,000 people easy. but there is a problem... eve has game mechcanics :)

...So you are saying that you are competing with Second Life, which is a 60.000 PCU system...
Is that something like World of World of Warcraft?
No, it's something like Ambulation.
yeah but at least ambulation won't have player modeled assets... shutters...
SL is a **** store by the way, honest.

Perhaps you should go read the account stats posted in one of the CSM (i think) blog.
That's based only on credit cards AFAIK and absolutely untrustworthy. Many alt accounts are paid for with GTCs even if the main account is paid with CC.
it's 5% of players fool. even based on card whqat does everyone have 3 cards?

1. Eve is one server , therefore can take on aset amount of players. WoW has like 20 servers taking on much more players. for one server competing against games with multiple servers, its quite impressive
2. EvE was sold in a box in game in 2003, i have 2 copies with the orginal case, cd and tutorial book, teaches you how to mine and create a character and gives you a timeline of eve for the win :D
3. CCP has grown you know it owns this white wolf company and will most prob start development of the card games white wolf have made, eve has room for improvement they'll leave some art designers, coders, programmers and what not for it, but ccp has bigger plans 
o/
actually wow has over 400 servers lol. which is madness.
