CCP anounced 160k subscribers, this game is non stop wen we talk about new subscribers.
Most complete game i ever played
"Game Developers Conference, San Francisco, CA - March 7, 2007 - CCP Games, the world's largest independent game developer, today announced the integration of voice communication into leading Sci-Fi Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG), EVE Online. Players will now be able to speak to each other for better coordination, negotiation, socializing and planning. The addition of voice adds a new dimension to the award-winning game used by over 160,000 active players."

could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?
Well, YOU play MMORPG's, don't you?
Your statement is hypocritical on so many different levels.
That's like seeing two Crossdressers teaching their son to stop wearing women's underwear because it's wrong.
Son, dont let me see you in women's underwear again!!!
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
So if we look at the wow sub stats we only look at a single server and forget about the rest?
The China server is not run by CCP, it's a different company. Also (afaik) there isn't a sudden increase in subs since the china server went live therefore I'm pretty sure that the 160k subs are for TQ only. Even more, since EVE has between 15-30k accounts online at any given time a total number of 160k doesn't seem that far fetched.

You have a point but the chinese server is not run by CCP, and for some reason they dont count it along with the US/EU server.

This is a bit of weak trolling here as the voice thing isnat even working yet so most other corps use temspeak or ventrillo And we dont ahve guilds in eve

Eve is not WoW Eve operated on one server its not split in severall 100 ones like wow.
The asian server IS a seperate one its allowed no contact with the west and it follows slightly different rules becauase of local censorship laws. So when CCP quotes EvE's subsciber numbers it has to be the European version only as the Asian one is completly seperate its even run by a Asian goverment sanctioned company.
Lol bitter much?
You know everyone gets banned from games sometime in there lives no need to get stroppy now off you go and find a nice game to play [pats head].
In the mind of the EVE fanboy, if you hate EVE you are one of the following:
A WoW player
Stupid
Ignorant
A hacker who got banned from EVE and is bitter
A noob
Loser
Tool
Sheep
Fool
A child
They cannot and will not accept the fact EVE is flawed, and so is CCP. EVE only grows because it fills a niche, one where you can be a complete ass with no worries of the consequences, one where you can harass other players with no punishment, one where you can metagame as much as you want, and it is the only game where you can PVP anywhere.
But they don't talk about the non-PVP stuff much, as a matter of fact CCP seems to want to get rid it of all together, YAY, counterstrike in space!
I suggest that you take a good look at your own quote and replace 'faith' with 'hatred'.
And maybe why CCP isn't one of the least professional companies to ever exist.
I am guessing you have not been an EVE critic for very long. EVE is in fact one of the major players in the MMOG market. They have been for years. They have made major changes to the game over the years, and have in fact created PvE content, when in the past there was none. This was not popular with the playerbase (at the time) but has proven to be a benefit to the game overall.
EvE has plenty of shortfalls (to numerous to mention), yet you have chosen to complain about (mostly) non issues. (I will give you the corruption, graphics, and lag... all have merit). If you are going to complain about a game, try to keep your facts straight.

I'm sorry, I won't parry dribble with reasoning, I parry it with dribble.
so they're doing something right....

People here say that EVE is a niche game,but i beleve he passed that barrier only 3 MMO´s have more players in US/Eu market
WoW - 3.5 M
EQ - 200k ? i belive this number is much lower this days
EQ2 - 175k
EVE - 160k
AO,AC,AA,CoX,DAoC,DDO,MxO,SWG,SoR... have less players

There are WoW servers in China who comply to the same laws as the seperate EvE server...
I see no reason why you should ignore a certain set of customers just because the rules on the server differ a bit.
US/Eu market (Lineage2 have 105k subs in US/Eu)

well thats your opinion, here's mine. eve is a niche game, always will be. your quote of quote of 160k subs is incorrect, many many eve players have multiple paid accounts, farmers have many more. so in saying eve has 160k subscribers is wrong, they may at the top end have 40k single original subscribers with multiple accounts. that is a more accurate statement.
dont forget the dev influence and cheating ingame, only a very small portion of it was caught.
can you smell that?!!...............there is nothing quite like it.....................the smell of troll in the morning............i love that smell.
