The James 315 QuitMark Metric

:thinking:

You mean permit?

Either way nice try but your permit will not be permanent, you will have to renew it every month for the usual fee.

Today, we update the @James_315 QuitMark Metric.

In April, we found a weekly sinkrate of 151. However, as we again consider the number of people who eclipse James weekly, we find only 78 people have succeeded this week. This is a significant decline. Clearly, reaching the James 315 Quitmark remains a meaningful challenge for many players, and it has become increasingly difficult for anyone to find time for victory.

Does this imply the rate of EvE’s decline has accelerated? We will continue to observe, and keep track of how many people manage to do more than James 315. Thanks once again to @Squizz_Caphinator , who dutifully composes the Annals of Destruction, without which nobody would want to play this game.

I know what you are wondering. Who is the most recent new player to surpass James 315? Our Rookie of the Week appears to be @znaxar_Lemmont who skyrocketed past dozens of uninstalled bitterbears during this glorious battle: Related Kills | 3-0FYP | 2024-09-17 18:00 | zKillboard Congrats znaxar, welcome to EvE Online. You can take that shame hat off now, don’t be shy.

It is truly inspiring to all, that even whilst James 315 sinks like a stone, his total lack of activity provides a reference point from which we can track the rise of new heroes and legends from beyond our time. We will check in later, and see if anyone else has passed the James 315 EvE Online Challenge.

What many pilots fail to notice that James 315 actually did the work of at least 6 pilots compared to today.

Perhaps Princess can share a story of how great James 315 was

Very true!

Nope. Ive mostly been too busy shooting targets that shoot back, and dying.

One does not appear to get a rank at all on killboard below a certain number of kills. I’m not sure what that number is. This fairly noob char doesn’t have a rank yet despite 47 killboard ā€˜kills’. I have another with 200 kills that is ranked 175,000…one with 481 kills that is ranked 109,000, and one with 541 kills that is ranked 95,000.

So somewhere between 47 and 200 one doesn’t seem to get included in the alltime rankings. I’ll see what happens when this char reaches 100, as that may be the point one gets included.

Time for an update!

James 315 is currently declining at a rate of 141 per week. We can compare this to the rate a year ago (151 per week). Based on this dataset, we can firmly conclude that the rate of EvE’s decline has accelerated by 7% annually. Less people are doing better than James. Does this herald the end of EvE Online? :confused:

Let’s now honor the latest capsuleer to do more than James ever did (because he docked up for more than a decade, and fell permanently asleep). Who is our lucky winner this week? Congratulations to Chase Mernshe, who catapulted to fame and glory with the help of an alt army. Amazing! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I’m surprised that this RP still exist… :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

What would stop a person from just killing their own alts? Like make 20 alpha accounts, then keep undocking them from the same station together, hitting them with one shot from a small rail gun, and then having them self destruct?

Seems like you could reach a pretty high number in just a few hours.

Marvyn, if you can dream it, you can achieve it!

Everyone is free to get killmails however they want.

Good luck, capsuleer, and 07 to you!

Whatever floats your boat

Zaerna’s = grace. Not in the sense she is a grace, but because she believes the other words in her name define her as a prophet, a false prophet.
