This is the best quote ever. |
I am seriously getting the urge to give EVE Online another chance, and am wondering how the population is like atm. |

Shows a steady increase and I think most veterans are bored and taking breaks because the corp I'm in all the vets are taking a month or so break and just put a skill on train so I don't think the sub base has gone down. After Ambulation I should think there will be a sharp increase of players but then have to advertise the good graphics well and avatar use in a trailer to get people interested in EVE who didn't like not having a avatar. Anyways 40k people online on the same server at any one time is more than anyother mmorpg so nout to worry about. |

LOL Population in EVE has doubled every year since it was released. In many cases more than doubled. So far it's on track to do so again this year. Calling it now: 300k+ subs by November. (It had 140k last November and as of this may had 240k +40k trials)

Weekends you will see around 40k on, weekdays slightly less but still good. About 30k during the day (north american timezones) and around 20k or so at night. Basically it's a very healthy population. |

OK, I'm confused... if there's at least 140K subs, and there's around 40K at peak, where do the other 100K go? |

People online != people who have a running subscription. Thought that was obvious. |

I know there sleeping or at work, but I don't see how only 40K can be online if there are 220K subs, that ~18% of active subs playing at one time, it seems low. I need figures for other MMOs for a comparison. |

Put another way; subscribers, on average, play for 18% of every day, or 4.3 hours. That doesn't seem low at all! |
