What's the name of that "law" that states something along the lines of: "All forum threads will eventually end up becoming flame-fests and insults?"

Oh here we go, another guy that wants to use the "most of Eve onlines pop are second+ accounts" argument.

Give me a break its been documented that only 16% of the players have second accounts and nopw that ghost training is gone that number is probably cut in half.

Seriously Does it bother you that much that eve is a success? do you have to try to derail the thread with a comment like that?

Anyway back on topic. Yes it seems WoW, Eve and even games like WAR and Lotro are having a good holiday season.

 

No it doesnt bother me, I've played Eve since the end of 2005. And my comment did not derail the topic nor was it meant to...its a valid point on the OP's post. 

It is a new rekord after 9 months. And (some) people used more then one account back then aswell.

The last 4 weekends have been pretty close to make a new rekord, the sunday before this beeing only about 500 people from the rekord.

And with the recent ghost training history this could be a bigger rekord than it was in march.

No longer true. They finally kicked that problem in the jimmies... Have been numerous HUGE fleet fights since the recent patches to the server code that allow for more players etc. Jita has over 1000 players in system regularly on weekends now w/o a hiccup and actually very little lag even outside 4-4 itself.

I've personally witnessed a 600 person fleet fight go off nearly lag free (compared to before anyway) and have heard rumors of 400v400 fights going off with reasonable gameplay.

CCP Explorer
45,186 online pilots at 20:41 GMT is the new PCU record (the old record was only two weeks old). Thank you all!

Its come to the point that Eve is so packed in high sec that I think CCP may need to Expand .5-1.0 space a bit.

I personally live out in 0.0 but its becoming an ass pain to traval to the populated areas when 200 freaking pilots are hanging around a station that isnt in jita.

Also, I'm shocked that CCP hasent released the new sub numbers yet its no secret that this game has easily exceded the 250k mark ill even go out on a limb and say it has close to 350k now.

I'd rather punish the idiots in highsec that pile 300+ people into one system for one agent, than neglecting 0.0 even more.

Just more Proof that Eve is Dyeing. Guess i should start canceling my 4 accounts...

Should I Evemail you or just request here?

Can I has your stuffz?

Can you blame those guys for doing that though?

While I enjoy pvp and even reside in 0.0 just look at the state of pvp in Low sec (.4-.1)

Its filled with knuckle draggers that do nothing but insta lock newbs at gates and own people with 12+ friends.

These players have no honor what so ever at least when I camp a gate Im protecting our miners and ratters not doing it for nothing.

You want all these carebears to go into low sec? make it harder for any pirate myself included to scan them down out of missions and wtf pawn them. Make it harder to just lazily gate camp any newb passing threw a gate.

0.0 is different, we have rules and alliances. while low sec gets to run around and just grief for no reason.

I love pvp, hell I even grief from time to time but these non-caring fuckers are owning Eves population.

Imagine the amount of people that would leave Eve if CCP moved all level 3 missions and above to low sec? or made ratting even shittier passed .5?

these players arent awesome pvpers, they have no shot in hell in surviving low sec with every gate being guarded by mouth breathers.

You want to punish the "idiots" in high sec for mission grinding then ask CCP to balance the damn game so we dont have a tremendous advantage against these pvers. then maybe once its balanced and they have a chance move the level 3-4 missions to low sec.

look I love blowing idiots up but people shouldn't be called stupid for mission running in the only section of the game that lets them do it without being scanned down in seconds and owned.

Anyway the reason I said expand high sec was for the influx of new players comming into the game. it gets annoying lagging threw a system with my Indy alts and traders.

Edit: dont bother responding I don't want to derail a Eve sub thread its a great game. maybe ill make another post about this posts topic.

43K ppffft..... I was logged in yesterday (on only two of my three accounts) and around 4 pm EST (9pm UST) there were over 44K people logged in, and I thought, pretty amazing.

And to those who said it was all due to the folks home from school, I'd have to disagree.  My corp had almost a 50% drop in attendence due to people being out on vacation and dealing with family and friends.

Unlike many other games, most EVE players have real lives and are frequently drawn away to them. 

Oooh, I missed that :(

But great news anyway :)
