> [@MB\_ThePhotographer](#): > > While I agree with most of that, I would not call this thriving vs what it used to be. > [EVE-Offline :: EVE-Online Status monitor](https://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility) What do you mean? Besides some anomalous very short-lasting peaks (with a massive one in 2016) the overall trend seems to be largely stable ever since it reached a plateau in 2010. 16 years of a stable playerbase seems good and predictable to me. Whether you call it thriving or not can be a discussion, but the game certainly isn’t doing bad if we look at how largely flat the fat part of this line is for the right two-thirds of the graph after 2010. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/1/d/e/1def92667329adcc1a555d837e149da4fa4c1430.png) ---

Spikes, but not a steady number growth, hence stagnation and now a decline. Read you own graph. > [@Pure\_Capitalist](#): > > They managed to keep most of the bad players. 🤣 ---

> [@Lydra\_Victor](#): > > lots of redundant thread. Same topics different titles There’s yet another spurious ganking thread ? Oh…that’s unusual ! Gosh, who’d have thunk ganking made up just 0.42% of all the kills in EVE last week yet makes up 99.99% of all the whining on the forums.
