It is rare to find a niche product such as Eve still growing over four years after release. The fact that Eve has continued to grow is a testament to the drive and ambition of CCP.

Here's to your next 100,000, and the 100K after them, and the 100K after them.

And here's to CCP, for making this game for us.

Congratulations and we're all extremely excited (and quite thankful for the power of two promotion deal) but I have multiple accounts on eve but I notice that there's a bit of a catch to what ccp just said.

"Many people have had a hand in EVE attaining this milestone, but we would not have reached it without each and every member of the EVE community. We are deeply grateful for your past, present and continued support. Thank you!"

My point though is that CCP only exquisitely shows care to those beta baby players that have been playing since the beginning. I'llbelieve it when I see it because whenever I make a petition on my other accounts I get a very sour response.

I remember going into an EB Games store and deciding to buy Freelancer. I hadn't played a PC game for quite sometime. I had just got a new PC and was anxious to see how good things were. As I was at the register, the clerk says "Try this out and if you like it, check out a game called Eve-Online." I thought Freelancer was amazing. So after about 2 hrs of playing the advice was haunting me. I searched for the game the clerk had mentioned. When I found it Ilooked at some trailers and seeing that they were made from actual gameplay, bought an account right away. That was alittle over two years ago and curiously, I've never bought another PC or console game since. As a matter of fact, I only play Eve. Cheers CCP, and thank-you for a truly unique experience. I know I can say "I'm here for the long haul." Thank-you.

well ccp, congratulations for the great overall work you have done and to this mark you reached.
well that i am not hopping around happy has a reason, the t2 freighter so called jump freighter are a death call for those eve industrialists who are not in big alliances, as long as the jump freighter is planned as t2 freighter, that means too expensive to afford, that works only the big alliances into their hand because ccp is elemenating possible upgrowing concurrents per implenting a ship that cry from design "i am not affordable" , and oh who wonder hangars get nerfed that they cant carry ships with cargo.

many ppl will say shut up, or stop whining, but feel free, i even dont care about it. you will cry if those changes have a heavier impact on eve economy than you thought.

well to be straight, ppl doing business in eve want cargo space that can jump and thats it, it has to be t1 and affordable and useful, and not a wet dev dream making that look nice of course but is an uneconomical monster.

i can tell you what happen when you stay at the current t2 freighter or jump freighter design.
its simple, you hit those players who try to work their way up in eve, member of big alliances and their alts will be happy about that, because they gain more might, not only the military but also the economy might, because you ccp guys were so friendly to make it impossible for the others to run their pos that maybe not there where sov is available, because they are in the npc regions of 0.0 space and just want to use this niche to do their business.
that would mean that many corps were forced to fall back to empire, they will still need t2 stuff like everyone else too, but the moon mins available are less than before, prices will raise.
the picture can you ccp guys think further on yourself, and the end will that new users will see its not friendly to play eve any more and say cya and cancel subsription.

must you ccp guys loose cash or do you please hear the warning i give you about the danger ? you cant say i have not warned ya anymore.
the only option to prevent that is make an own ship class that provide cargo space and jump capabilities on t1 level that ppl can afford to keep things running, but no short range jumps that dont helps anyone, a real alternative for freight logistic work what means at least carrier jump range.
and should be from the price on the same level as carrier, rorqual or dread, at least around 2 billion isk maximum, just give it a number. you ccp guys take away a t1 capital from freight logistic, and the alternative has to be on same level, that means t1 capital, no t2 one !!

Im in agreeance with Amior, plus I would like to add another suggestion to work on. one day you guys could come up with a way that players could transfer skill points from characters they wish to delete (could be done in percetages) i.e. the character has to be at least one year old and played in a mission in the last 7 days to be eligible to transfer and he must be deleted immediatley afterwards and then only 50 or 75 % of the points can be retained and transfered to a character of his or her choice. some thing like that.

Gotta wonder why if your averaging 40k trial accounts not many of them are converting to full accounts however. But 200k is nothing to scoff at. Not bad for an Indy MMO company at all :)

Many of those trial accounts are probably isk sellers and other non-"real" players. Possibly even just trial account scouts for someone's main character(s), who knows...

Definitely glad to hear it's up to 200k though! Can't wait to see that number increase dramatically with all the new releases and publicity CCP is getting!! (Trinity, Mac/Linux, etc)

WOW! I am so glad to see this... I am a SWG refugee... Finally found this game a couple months ago and I am loving it... 2 years ago this week, SOE cast aside the 200K Pre-NGE players to simplify the game to go after WoW like numbers. These days their sub number looks closer to 20K than 200K...

To see EvE achieving Pre-CU SWG like subscriber numbers while maintaining an even more complex skills based virtual world is astounding to me.

And I am looking forward to the future, when we get our avatars and the beginnings of a "ground" game.

Keep up the excellent work, guys and gals!

Yay... It is a milestone, and one I'm happy that you were able to obtain. But...

That number wasn't just reached by obtaining new players - that number was announced just as Power of 2 deal ended - a deal only available to current players, which allowed a current account holder to get a second account for about half price. Which means lots of your existing player base added a new account, helping to bump your numbers so you can make a press release. How many actual individual players are there really? Me, I've got 3 accounts now, and I know I'm not alone in my multiplicity. I'm not hating, bashing or trolling, but it is disingenuous to proclaim 200000 subscriptions; it implies to the unknowing a far broader customer base than actually exists. It would have been a much stronger datum if it represented actually payer/player numbers, and not the individual accounts they hold. Just my .02 isk.

Congratulations CCP on the 200K subscriptions. Having been here since the Medusa Beta and have had an active account since launch, I would have expected however at this point to have 200,000 people on simultaneously, not just total subscriptions. I know they are different types of games but I just see where WoW just hit 9.8 million subscribers. I have my ideas on why this is, but I was wondering what the Eve community thoughts on why over 4 years later there are not 2 million Eve subscribers.

As reported in this Announcement, EVE Online has surpassed 200,000 active subscriptions. This does not include the over 45,000 active trial accounts, but are pure active subscriptions. While that may not seem like a large community when compared to some other titles currently on the market, it does represent a major milestone for us. Our next goal? To hit 50,000 concurrent users (a record 37,481 logged in on Sunday afternoon) and 300,000 active subscriptions.

The list of people responsible for us attaining the milestone is large, but we could not have done it without the support of the EVE community. This is as much a celebration of your efforts as it is ours. Thank you!

Congratulation to everyone at CCP too! Without your dedication and spirit of the devs this would not have worked either! We the players do our "share" by supporting this fantastic experience, but its you who deserve the thanks and the congratulations!

So cheers CCP! May EVE be a shining star for ages among all MMOGs in the time to come!

I have to wonder how much of this is due to the power of 2 promotion you just had.

Congrats though, even IF it was barely 100k people with an average of 2 accounts each, I don't know many MMO's that are good to the point where people will maintain multiple accounts to play.

Is it also confirmed that Eve's population is now larger than Iceland's? That's kinda scary!

It seems like just yesterday I undocked for the first time in early June 03 on my first (retired) account. Congratulations to all of us on something that has become bigger (in many ways) than I think any of us old timers could have predicted or seen.

CCP, my thanks for a hobby that has kept my interest and attention through the last several years....may EVE never fade!

What would be far more interesting is the number of subscribers, not the number of subscriptions. I have 5 accounts, by extrapolation that would mean there are only 40k subscribers. I know it's not that simple, but still CCP ought to know how many individual subscribers there are.

Eve-online continues to be a great game nd one that I really enjoy playing, it is a shame that your customer service has become so poor as the number of users has grown

I wonder how many more of these 200,000 users (like me) will evemtually leave the game because they become frustrated with a lack of support by CCP and an apparent unwillingness to admit to faults

its been a week and im still waiting to get a responce back from ccp about a billing problem. all I got was some auto-responce.

EVE would be 400,000 if it wasnt for the current PVP policy stunting your growth.

PVP jerks make non-pvpers leave eve or not come to eve in the first place
eve is considered a PVP first person shooter and an anti NON-PVP game

theres a reason about 80% of the players are in empire its just too bad you only think about the PVPers

just watching the dev question and answer session it was obvious all the questions were from PVPers. that to me says alot about how disenfranchised the non-pvpers are they dont even goto fanfests

the council is going to have the same problem and be dominated by the PVP corps

ya and the flamers PVPers responce is going to be if i dont like it "go somewhere else" which is proof of why eve is only at 200k.

I would love for the economist to do a whole report on PVP vs NON-PVP statistics of eve

First off congrats and so far I'm a huge fan of EVE.

But with the huge increase in players ( including myself ) and no end in sight, has the idea of setting up a cap limit for tran server been discussed. If it has would there be another server , or perhaps one for north american and one for europe? can the current server handle 40k players, 50k, 60k? Server lag is an issue which ( myself included ) have taken with a grain of salt to enjoy the greatness of EVE, but at what point will it just not be able to take the strain? Having a server cap of 20k-25k with a new server for every 20k -25k could push sales and therefore enjoyment of many EVE players.

Good job CCP and GL in the future !

I realy hope u hit the 300 k within the next year. +++ in the follwings then

Ps: Beautifull "mozo" grafik and ambulations will help.

(cant wait to see it comes real)

PLZ dont forget the new players !
If u see the skilltime u need to use tech II it s totally detterent for a new player.

" found something to make it a bit easier for them to fly faster better ships and use better equip"

At least old players have a big projection to them.
Tech III and much more nice stuff will not help holding new players for a long time. (if u add more skill which looks so far away to learn it).

More people in this game, actually makes it better, because all the gameplay, politics, and specially economy (at all levels, manufacturing, trading, invention) are real player based.

So this is a game unlike others. More players mean better game - more deep gameplay, (well after taking care some lag issues ofcourse LOL.
