It's quite obvious you have no clue what you are talking about 34,000 players at peak time usually between 20-30,000 players 23/7 beyond peak time Low low end is about 17,000 players shortly after and shortly before downtime. Average playtime is about 1.5-2 hours So lets call it 2hrs playtime average: 23/2 = 11.5 "zones" Lets round down to 11 We'll call it an "average" of 22,500 players online in any given zone, which will cut out the peaks and valleys nicely 11 x 22,500 = what?
C'mon now, it's basic Math... How many accounts logged into the game each DAY does that simple formula equate to?
Heh.. I have been buzy so not been back to these forums... Anyhoo This caught my EYE.
Your saying that the average player only spends 1.5 too 2 hours playing? Seriously? I have seen Gate campers that spent 8 hours sitting at the same spot. And back when I did play our corp opps rainged from 4-6 hours for DS runs to 6-8+ hours on = share mine opps. Actually on Sat I dare say I spent 8-14 hours playing EVE (yes I was playing windowed and running BF2 "cmding" or WOW at scame time)
Ok, everyone how much time do you spend in EVE? If you have insominia, as I do, it's ok to admit spending your nights playing, it beats the heck out of watching infomercials on TV.
I can't see getting anything done in less than 2 hours, it takes longer than that to run a LVL3 mission and collect the loot, but that may just be only me.
Actually the time I listed was from a dev interview at one point where they pointed out that the average time their players are logged into the game works out to approximately 1.5-2 hours (Actually I think their band was 1.5-2.5 hours if I recall correctly) They did acknowledge in that interview that several players seem to just log in to change skills and others spend 8+ hours online. But the average, over the course of the week, works out to about 1.5-2 hours a day (or 8.5-14 hours a week per player).
Sorry you don't like it but that's information I got from CCP (or rather, an interview with CCP), not information I pulled out of my rear. I don't remember where the interview was, it might even have been here on MMORPG.COM but I am honestly not sure.
Don't really see why they'd lie about it.
