EVE Online News - EVE Breaks Peak Concurrent User Record

Posted by Keith Cross on Jan 05, 2009 | 78 comments in our forums

CCP has announced that the record for Peak Concurrent Users in EVE Online has been broken. The new record stands at 45,186 players.

What a great way to start out 2009--a new PCU (Peak Concurrent User) record of 45,186! While we've made tremendous serverside changes in the EVE Online infrastructure with the EVE64 and StacklessIO initiatives, it is truly a testament to our loyal fans that 5 years into EVE's existence we are still breaking records and more people are flying in New Eden than ever before.

We know we'll be trying to find leftover champagne from New Year's EVE to celebrate. When we do, we'll toast to you!
