in EVE Online
A few years ago Eve was hitting peak 30+ concurrent users, 21k just before downtime, and then would hover again around 21k after downtime till peak.
A year ago it was 30+ concurrent in peak, 16 before downtime, and then go back around 21k till peak time hit again.
Now its 12k after downtime........
Anecdotal is anecdotal. In before the next expansion and people go look at all the numbers. FYI, they pretty much seem to have lost all they players they gained when they went F2P-ish. CCP seems to be back to the trickle of new players and the same bitter vets as before. Who aren't even playing that much themselves.
As per the last war, Eve needs RMT to generate excitement and conflict. Bring back gambling and RMT.

Also, their stance against isboxer and Multi-Plexing keys across KVM's and software macros ruined the game that's part of why it dropped.
(Point being some MMORPGs including my favorite would love to have those kinds of numbers)

But the game is old as the road and about as smooth. Not even sure how you sell it to new players... Come and play our game where a small core of arsehats will make sure that you etiher pleasure them or they make your life a personal purgatory. It is pretty much middle school and high school all over again.. =P
But hey... If that is your thing. Enjoy.
This have been a good conversation
Also for deathmatch PvP MMOs. Far less worry about ganking if more and more people leave. Get all the stuff to myself and whoever else remains playing lol
Thats why I like the black desert online pvp server. I literally see 1 person an hour at best, and I get all the grind spots to myself lol

Though when soloing I tend to make my way to nullsec because its a lot safer there than lowsec and I solo rat and make more money in one rat kill than my entire ship costs lol. The most dangerous part of the journey is actually getting there.
My strategy...use a very cheap, but effective ship that can hunt rats easily in nullsec (my loadout is about 150k I believe (not including ship cost), but depends how "lazy" I am to the distance I want to get the parts)
haven't played new expansion yet though, but they look to have added solo stuff for PVErs.
But yeah I don't solo 100% of the time of course otherwise I can get a better experience in singleplayer games. But I do group with the noob corp quite a lot, and trade with them and help other noobs.

It baffles me as to how much SC is pulling in if the genre is not that popular,i feel some must be spending enormous amounts buying every ship there is.
pvp and this type of game encourages rmt,something i detest in a big way and why these type of games will never encourage mainstream players or be anything more than as i call SC right now,a cash shop in space.
Why would people login to Eve anyhow,there is no game outside of pvp,a few might find interest in playing the ISK game or the market but imo WHY?
They made a boatload of money off of this shallow game,if CCP had any clue at all ,they would have invested into the game,perhaps port it over to a better engine and IMPROVE THE GAME,not pvp but the game,the world,the characters,the RPG aspects he game SHOULD have.
Point being that even if i enjoyed Eve at some time,when i see the developer putting out very little effort to build the game up to keep it popular,i would lose interest very quickly.
