This past weekend CCP Gmes kicked off EVE Online's eighth Alliance Tournament with the first round of qualifiers, which was exciting news in of itself. And that excitement translated into yet another peak concurrent users (PCU) record breaking, as players cracked the 60k PCU barrier, bringing the new record to 60,453, beating out the 56,021 record set in January of this year.

I love EVE with a passion, swg and runescape were my home before EVE(mostly cause SWG got killed by dumbass devs), so I went to EVE, loved it for 3-4 years, with a break here and there. They seem to be getting better and expanding hard core, which is great for sandbox games, EVE targeted a niche crowd, and it turned into a giant crowd, Hero for MMORPG's IMO, WOW being the destroyer kiddy themepark.
BUT, I cant play EVE Anymore, I am too addicted to Darkfall
, EVE is way too boring once you play Darkfall for a few months, especially since all I do is pvp.
@Izure - EVE has the potential to last a very long time. Darkfall's engine will be outdated before you know it.
Serious death penalties makes every close call an adrenaline rush, and every minor achievement a major victory. This alternative rule-set should be in all MMORPGs.
lol eve bine around since 2003 an are growing every year unlike some mmo's that come out with a bang an go out with a pop (aion,war,darkfall) list goes on. eve has a high learning curve its not for those who like simple games like wow dont cry u wow players its the truth wow has no learning curve unless u have down syndrome yes ive played wow u 40 year old players eve's coming out with a hybrid game called dust 514 fpsmmo cheak it out worth a try http://www.dust514.org/

I can't get worked up over 60,000 subscribers BIG DEAL - after this many years it should have an extra zero on the end by now and you know what? - it WOULD if they created another shard that was PvE! - until they do it will never be anything more than a 'niche' game - don't get me wrong I played the game for over two years and thought it AWESOME but the PvP just became tiresome and annoying.
DEFINITION OF REALITY: Graphics ok, Sound ok, Gold drops need more work...
It's not 60.000 subscribers (they have around 300k-350k) it's 60.000 cocurrent connections. IE 20% of all players are logged in at the same time.
"Memories are meant to fade. They're designed that way for a reason."
U mad? I smell carebear tears!
The fact that EVE is a niche game was discovered before you started to play... the only way to make CCP change the game is through the majority of players desiring it, not bitter haters :P
Also what Mcgreag said.
Actively playing: EVE primarily
It's not 60,000 subs, they got alot more subs than that.
What it means is that they have 60,000 players online at the same time on the same server. That is only made possible by their sick supercomputer for server. :P
