EVE Online: These are the MMO's current player numbers

EVE Online was released in 2003, making it one of the dinos in the gaming market in terms of age. Nevertheless, the MMO more than holds its own. Our guide shows how the player numbers currently look.

In EVE Online, there's still a lot going on - and soon there could be even more.

Contrary to all expectations, EVE Online has even been able to increase player numbers recently. There are reasons for this, yet the game seems to be far from dead.

EVE Online: 2019 a strong year in player numbers

The following is known about the player numbers:

• In April 2019, CCP Games reported counting around 300.000 active players to count.
• In July 2019, EVE Online even had the highest number of players in the last five years.
• Pro week joins about 10,000 new players, but not all remain loyal to the game. This is due to the fact that EVE Online is now free, which allows the MMO to be tested without risk.
• The not exactly easy accessibility makes itself felt at this point. To move more newcomers to stay, the entry should be further improved.

The makers of EVE Online thus look optimistically into the near future. As a basis serves the hard player core, which has been there for over ten years and is responsible for many legendary stories.
