Dirt 514 may or may not be the straw that breaks the camels back, CCP. Don't think that console gamers will be as patient as your current PC fanbase. Promises will have to be kept. And though you've done a phenominal job at keeping up appearances, Eve's players know the immense risk you're taking by diversifying on this level. Well, good luck, and for my sake and the sake of those I play alongside on a daily basis-don't screw it up too much. Cheers.

Wow. The numbers are huge but what's compelling to me is the immense depth of back story and simulation choices that create substantial layers of depth.

Played alpha and beta, left before release. Came back twice afterwards, both times had me walking away. Yet here I am again, on a fresh account and in a new corp' back in the spacelanes.

I was going to give Eve up.It takes ALOT of time and after my old corp.
BSC(British Space corparation) packed up,I was going to wind it down.
But you can't just leave EvE.
Its a hard habit to break..I have eve charaters that are 5 years old.
The three charaters you built up over that time repersent alot of sweat and effort.
Thats 60million skill points on 2 and 38 million on my "Only fighting skillz" charater.
lLOL I just can'r kill them off

When its busy their are 50- 60 thousand players online which is a huge amout thats similar figures to second life and its also huge compared to other online games as everone is on the same server. I went back into eve two weeks ago after a year off and it has changed alot. i really like how they keep scaling it up. Goto remember that 280k players half of them are asleep at any one time and then some of the ones that are awake are at work or college. around 30k people is the average.

Considering that EVE is one of the Only space sims out their I'm not surprised, personally I have deleted and reinstalled EVE 4 times. and currently I'm reinstalling it.

Thats strange because I rarely see over 20-30k users logged in at any given time. Maybe i just play at off times but .. hell even that is a killing for CCP. I was worried they were gonna have major problems because of the Iceland economy or money thing (whatever was going on over there). I'm sure the player base will rise when the Avatars come out, since most people want a "earth and beyond" experience, although I hope its nothing like E&B.

Wow ... (pun intended).

That is somewhere between 3 to 5.6 million dollars per month. Not bad and no wonder they "remain focused on continuing to push forward with the game's evolution".

280,000 is a mighty impressive number. That would mean it comfortably sits in the top 10 in subscriber base among MMOs I should think.
