Eve Online Is Six Years Old Today
And I cannot imagine the sum of the hours I have poured into that game. Nor do I imagine that I'll ever play anything else on a regular basis for that length of time. Still, it inspired me to write the final chapter of a pretty good book. CCP say:
"In the past couple days we surpassed the impressive milestone of 300,000 active subscribers. That doesn't include trial accounts. We've broken our peak concurrent user record 3 times this year alone, standing now at an impressive 53,850 in the same universe. That is exponential growth. We couldn't think of a better birthday present than having more people playing EVE Online than ever before."
Happy Birthday, you great big virtual galaxy. Here's to a few more.
