25k Peak Concurrent User barrier broken

Yesterday evening at 20:48 a new PCU milestone was reached when 25.665 EVE Players were logged in at the same time. This record follows a highly successful hardware upgrade of CCPs server cluster in London allowing CCP to remain true to its regiment of one unsharded virtual world with no instancing can hold.

Currently play it.

Im a jack of all trades at the mo, working towards owning my own POS to help my corporation get into the t2 production. Huge plans ahead involving carriers, dreadnaughts and motherships.

Well have 10 Carrier pilots by september apparantly.

Skills direction now currently training up skills to augment my current skillset. Things like motion prediction, drone specialisation, sharpshooter, navigation, and engineering.

Over in Providence at the mo, making lots of money from NPCing on an almost nightly basis.

Corps having a major upheval at the minute,
the ceos having RL problems and the corps deteriating atm back down to its loyal and oldest members.

might even end up as the CEO before next week at this rate  :shock:


Im looking to give it up in the future though, its frustrating enough and it soaks up a lot of time with very little reward
woo bigger ship, yay...... pfft etc....


my charcter is currently a jack of all trades, research, mining, production and light combat.

soon as mechanic is up to level 5 ill be able to research with any agent

But im back to logging in daily now :) getting interesting, apparantly our corp has a few interdictors and recon ship users. Didnt know we were so advanced.

Plans are underway for a bit of a gatecamping session to kill some bothersome pirates :D lol.

Oh... and the other day a mothership flew through our system.

CD Accounts are a pain mate.

You will need to register the account, then register a second trial account, and get the CD account transferred over to the trial account by a GM. Theres no where on the site to enter CD keys.

I thought that too at first! :P
POS = Player Owned Station, used to mine Moons, as well as many other useful features. :)

I really wish I had the time to play Eve, but Oblivion... :D

Anyone still playing Eve, it seems with the latest updates the game has become much more simpler to progress.

Tried it again, got bored with it again.

It's still far too much like real life for me, I'd sooner spend the time either playing something that completely disconnects from reality and lets me lose myself for an hour or two of pure escapism or put the time into earning money in real life rather than doing so in a facsimile of reality that can be just as stressful as real life.

I have no doubt I'll be trying it again in another six months! :)

I was disappointed with it the first time around but this time i have settled in quite nicely, and everything is all mapped out, however i am now sat here waiting for Gallente Frigates Rank 3 to finish before i can do my next proper mission, which is a bit gutting tbh but i knew it was coming sooner or later.

I'm still playing this. Really enjoy it too. I have a lot less time than I used to but I try to spend as much time as possible playing it.

I've been playing for such a long time now all the skills I have to train are level 5 and usually at least 2 weeks. The low sec/0.0 end game is very good too. It can take a bit of time to get there though. Probably a lot less considering they give new players a lot of help.

Stopped playing years ago.  Still have all the tunes on mp3 though - and they take me back.  Miss it but couldn't ever go back; way too absorbing.
