AFAIK @Chribba pulls the numbers presented on Eve-offline directly from the API.
Trusting any numbers a company puts out for login stats is probably not too smart. I mean… Why would they deliberately publish unflattering information about the game state? This from the company who keeps players in the dark about the true nature of the coming changes, and their real impact on the game. For example, the changes to moon mining. How many people would have guessed, or knew, they were removing trit from moon ores? I’m not talking about removing belt ores from the moon, the removal of ALL trit from all moon ore types. That had, and is going to have, a massive impact on the future of the game.
Point being, i’d take anything CCP publishes with a healthy dose of salt.

2012 was a bangin year for pvp not gonna lie
I left this post in another thread; but as it is specifically related to ECLIPSE, I’ll leave it here as well.
This issue…the lighting issue…is real and negatively affects a portion of the player base, and it could be easily avoided, if CCP team members just spent a bit of time running ideas and concepts past CCP employees who do have vision issues.
I know this is not game breaking; but, I also know it is not pleasant for those players who have vision issues. I have a headache, right now, that was caused by logging into the game…and not because of any player interaction , 
; but by simply logging into the game.
This negative reinforcement is avoidable.
Anyhow, that’s my two cents, and I appreciate any attention that can be drawn to this matter so it can be eliminated in the future.
Thank you.

Furthermore, they were too ignorant to know that a quadrant is normally a geometrical, geographical or cartographic concept, not a temporal one…
And don’t say that it is because English is not their first language - it is for an awful lot of their staff.

You do know EVE Offline is not CCP published right.
I mean, that’s A grade tinfoil you are spinning about not trusting those PCU graphs, yet also using them to claim that player numbers are falling.
The numbers clearly show a rise from the end of September
Shut down all teh gates

Wormholes only!
Mystery ships?
Is it SOE & Angel Capitals.
or a Shield line of Triglavians?
Doubt it. Do you not recall CCP Seagull saying they wanted to put in player owned stargates? This sets up a scenario where that can be a thing.

Oh ■■■■, good eye! I totally missed that.
This kinda gives me hope that CCP’s got some crazy thing planned. What if like, each of the 4 factions gets cut off from one another, so they each take slightly different approaches to dealing with the Triglavians.
It would give CCP and opportunity to try out four different gameplay changes, tying it into the lore as “here’s how each of the factions are trying differently”.
And they can use that data to see which one ends up encouraging more player engagement.
But at the end of the day, who knows? It’s a trailer, I’ve been with CCP for 6+ years now, and I don’t see myself leaving, so I’m hype to see what they’ve got planned.
Just because she is gone doesn’t mean her idea of players building and running stargates is a bad one or has been abandoned. This event will be a perfect setup for them.

And an announcement that basically says, “…there’s stuff coming…”.

Well if it’s not published by CCP then what I said was kinda pointless huh? 
I was mostly speaking in general about login and subscription figures posted by anyone, specially the company representing them.
But yeah, I guess my point is moot if the figures we get are posted or made available by a third party.
You do know it’s fraud for them to publish false numbers if they post them themselves anyway…
But the numbers show a clear steady increase over the last 6 month’s. So EVE clearly is not dying in this chaos era no matter what certain people keep spinning
I’m not sure you have the faintest clue what you are on about. To start, the concept of mammoth corps has been around for a long LONG time, way before Seagull came on board. 2nd the oligopolies you’re so scared off have nothing to do with the growth and development of eve, as one is controlled by the players, the other by CCP… might be time to loosen the tinfoil hat a touch 
Cypr3ss.

If you are not already employed on a Wallstreet quickly go there, there is a place in need off such realities twisters …
instead of limiting and breaking up mammoth corporations segull empowered it much much more and now we have stalled game with no dynamics and need for “scarcity” and now have to address “Wealth/power distribution and inequality between individuals and groups (the rich get richer)”
ccp now have to fix conceptual flaws inherit from previous team …
- Triglavian carrier: building trig ships into an entire new ship line along with Gallente etc is good, but making them omega exclusive is basically pay to win. Advice: pirate faction ships with trig hulls/nerfs for the really op ones like the shark, and make it possible for alphas to get these hulls.
- That said I wonder why since trig ships are so op abyssal are hardly worth the money, maybe because they hardly drop any loot compared to invasion places. Make them drop more loot.
- Guessing from the gate thing, I’m guessing capital ships would be allowed to jump into highsec through gates (don’t know why though). The rerouting idea sounds cool but it would make out-of-game maps a pain in the a** and I’m thinking with that released there should at least map apis. Also, we already have wormholes for the job. Maybe capital available wormholes would be a better idea.
- Since you already have trig ship line, why not a sleeper/rogue drone ship line as well? I don’t see why (besides you not having enough content developers and balancers) you wouldn’t get us more, much more ships. This way you can also get alpha players a much larger chance of buying themselves PLEX (since more ships mean more playing content, and more money making for alphas). I see the economics behind this, where in game purchases are limited, but if you stop putting out those starter packs more PLEX would be available.
