Eve Concurrent Average Online under 20k now :(

That was what makes WH space so great.

Paranoia, you log in paranoid, not knowing what is coming, you do the anomalies worried if someone had logged off in the system or was cloaked.

It was great but when I became more casual I found it too hard for a casual play style as you can’t get to a market very easily.

EVE traditionally goes through a summer slump in july-aug, should start climbing out of it soon if the annual pattern holds. By how much, this time idk.

Sure, but the idea behind the changes is that the numbers should grow. Hence they are bad changes.

Long term, they obviously won’t result in short term growth. CCP has not stated or implied it would and quite frankly one would have to be mental to expect such a thing.

As strawmanning goes that’s a hilarious one.

I’ve lived in WHs a few years and have never been in want of a HiSec connection reasonably close to a hub.

Except it’s a terrible false paraphrasing, being done by people who want to make the CCP devs sound crazy and like they don’t care.
So continuing it on is counter to the goal unless you just want to slander CCP.

Doesn’t look like “terrible false paraphrasing” to me.

And then Hi-sec got more dangerous and Null turned into hello kitty online with even more rewards.

Everyone has their own bias of course but to me 2007 was the height of EVE: Still feeling the influence of the “founding fathers” of CCP, not yet fcked over over by the “lets make EVE into Carebear Online” DEVS. Not yet thrown aside by CCP during the dark ages before Incarnage (2008-2011).

I must admit it was a lot better. Maybe EvE does need a classic.

It was “In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.”

Really? Do you see CCP saying anxiety medication should be required anywhere in there? Because I don’t.
A bit worried is not stressed.

It’s not THAT far off and it’s a paraphrase after all.

Back pedalling from what? I said it’s not representative and I’m still saying that.
CCPs quote you showed does not say that we should have to be on medication nor is that a reasonable paraphrase of what CCP said.

It’s a clear exaggeration designed to make CCP look bad.

Edit. Oh. And look who just deleted 90% of their post… And I’m the one back pedalling?

No, it’s 5:50am my time and I misread your post.

Well, take a look now. https://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility

Set it to two weeks, and you´ll see the sunday peaks: 29,1k - 28,9k - 25,1k

Or set it to 1month, or 3, or even better, to 6.

Do you see a tendency here?

Oh no, a tiny downwards trend that also coincides with the launch of WoW Classic, one of the biggest draws in MMO’s right now, however could we have predicted this!
Note, I’m not saying CCP is right, I’m also not saying they are wrong. I’m just saying, you are being highly simplistic.
