Actual player count in the launcher :28642… So where are the ‘40k’ if they are not made up they HAVE to appear at one point of the day… Never saw anything even NEAR this for days now…strange coincidence… ---

I’m preaching for over a month now that corona is to blame for the ‘good’ numbers and that we will have to face a big decline after that…but still…i’m a troll right? It does not have to be that i am correct… ---

> [@Darlo\_Kubika](#): > > And the numbers are wrong because ONLY the highest number is put into the graph… Well that’s complete and utter bollocks, if this was the case the average would actually be higher. The samples used by Eve Offline to produce the graph are polled every 20 minutes or so; they’re time stamped too. If you actually looked beyond the end of your own prejudice and hovered the mouse pointer over the plot of the graph that @Chribba kindly provides you would see this. Where is this 40k coming from btw; the last time the PCU broke that number that was April 26 at 18:46 when logged in users hit 40,527; that’s a peak number that nobody here but you is claiming to be an average, because that would be wrong. You’re used to being wrong though, you do it constantly. ---

You’re a funny guy, and as far as I’m concerned you at very least have my admiration for having the courage to lay down your convictions consistently, despite being rightly lambasted at every turn. A little like this. Hopeless, but determined. ![tenor (5)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/7/1/71f52f19cd40ca956cd3cc8319c3f9220c1325f1.gif) ---

Nobody is denying that the worldwide lockdown isn’t contributing to an uptick in numbers, those claiming that it’s the only reason for said uptick are fools. ---

> [@God\_Emperor\_Kane](#): > > Yes but that is not a sign of the plex becoming more expensive. It was a design choice from CCP to make plex easier to trade and use with NEX store items. It was a sign of plex becoming more expensive, Kane. When you split up a traded good into smaller, thus cheaper, parts then more people are able to buy it, which increases the price.
