With the $5 increase, I agree 100% in its current state at current price it’s worth it to me. Whenever my current subs run out, I will likely re-assess. If nothing substantial is released, I will likely park the game until I see content worth $20/mo. Not holding my breath on that.
Very well said!
I think your more likely to be right than not.
Well that looks more like normal than the stupid 1,7 was thrown around… still feels a bit lower than expected but i think that fits at least a bit better…
3 accounts (not 2.6) in reality.
That’s up from 2 (1.7).
Still more than other MMO’s. That’s quite a milking cow and risk.
Why sell one sub when you can sell 3 subs to the same customer.
Would be better imo if they ranked it in discrete buckets of accounts w.r.t. % of customers.
You cannot round up any number. 2.6 on average is 2.6, not 3.
Also means the +5$ per account per month hits extra hard their consumers, bad bad plan.

You cannot create half an account.
So what do you say when 2 people own 3 account total, you cant say they own in average 1, or in average 2.
Sure, but average is a fluffy number, it’s not accurate.
It is very much accurate when you talk about an average for a community of several thousand persons.

It says nothing about distribution and concentration.
So what, would you rather have them say there is x amount of person that have 5 accounts each, x amount that have 4, x amount that have 3 etc…
Because it’s just a more complicated way to say exactly the same thing, with more details maybe but still just the same thing with more steps.
So what if it takes a few minutes more to calcuate, it’s not a high performance calculation that requires breakneck speed. It would be more informative and accurate.
And how do you even know what account belongs to whom, you can quite easily get statistics from a poll or how many accounts are bound to a single email adress, but you cant check for sure how many acounts belongs to a single person. Statistics are easier and very much good enough.
They can know from their data, they fingerprint every machine login EVERY TIME along with the source address and accounts and payments. They know more about you than you do.

But seeing the avg. numbers of the Fans who are visiting FF is also interesting.
Eve Whale Fest.
But ok, you can say the biggest Fans are going to visit there in person so, no offense…
But still really hard… takes a lot of ppl with just one account and one char to balance it out to average.
Didnt watch it all, was there a mention how many REAL player there are? like unique mail adresses etc?
first number i did see was below 10 k something above 8k … but only did see it briefly… came back when they just switched it so not sure if it was the number for that or something else
I know at least two people there who think this game is an absolute pile of garbage, they are there to meet with people with which they have things in common, build friendships/alliances etc.
Probably still not an accurate estimate, as people could theoretically create a new account with a new email address under a different or same name using a VPN.
The machine is likely the same, so the machine hash would be a match. There is quite a few components listed in the hash.
I would assume a committed role player would use multiple computers for that, but I guess two people could be sharing a computer theoretically as well (getting a college room mate into the game or something idk).
Have CCP come out and actually stated the number of unique players in the game?
I think posting company economic related information is a double edge sword for them so they simply don’t, except very fague data if it looks good for them.
One that is mostly visible is what they emit on the API as player count but, it’s also vague.
They didn’t even state the distribution of OS platforms used even though they went big PR on MacOS, unless I missed it but I was watching for the word “Linux”
