EVE Online: 100,000 served

EVE Online is putting the "massively multiplayer" in its massively multiplayer online role-playing game, EVE Online. The game, from Icelandic developer CCP Games, now has 100,000 active game subscribers, and currently holds the record for concurrent players in a single, persistent game universe at 23,178 simultaneous users. To help accommodate its growing population, CCP will complete a hardware overhaul, allowing the game to handle more users, expand its universe, and to run more smoothly. EVE Online allows players to explore a world thousands of years in the future and make their living through a variety of methods, including trade, mining, or combat.
