Subscription increases often seem to herald player departures. I’m reminded though that when the increase landed for us, the cost of a subscription had been the same for many years (does anyone recall how many years?). In real terms, then, CCP had been losing money. I’m sure any business would wish to staunch that particular flow. There will always be folks who cannot at some point afford a purchase; there will be others who can run to several such purchases, at any time. I fear it’s the way of the world rather than a targeted conspiracy. ---

If you did you’d see that 32K players is _regularly_ reached. Look…even now in the early evening in Europe its already approaching 30K…it is rising by about 100 every 5 minutes at the moment…and will reach and pass 32K a little later… ![concurrent](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/2/f/d/2fd525fd52a8b8932576de145d5ab9a13fe5ece3.jpeg) ---

I thought it unlikely that he was addressing me (we don’t have that kind of history) but I was not sure, so I made some comments of my own! I am a Rookie; and I grow more and more Rookie-like the older and more experienced I get. What a conundrum!
