Records were made to be beaten and EVE Online has a tendency, to add to that statement it's own.
They have recently broken their Peak Concurrent User highest number of users with an astonishing 54,181 players logged in simultaneously.
The weather outside is frightful as powerful solar winds buffet the battleworn armor of a Myrmidon aligning for warp. The fire so delightful of the Heavy Pulse Laser IIs as they carve through the hulls of Sansha's despicable followers.
What really warms our hearts this time of year, is the recent breaking of our all-time Peak Concurrent User Record. This past Sunday, 54,181 pilots were flying in New Eden, unfettered and unbound but by the limits of their own imagination and skill. Thank you all, for flying with us.
I would like to tell you some about basics of EVE, while it's so great occassion to do it.
EVE Online is a virtual setting, which is very large for about five thousand, solar systems and thirty thousands of planets. Story of EVE is taking a place, in very far future, and it's in whole galaxy. In the EVE Online gamers can become a commanders of starships, pirates, merchants, miners, sciencist as also a producents .
We can become one of the sides, or become independent unit, and travel trough the whole galaxy, struggle with enemies, communicate and trade with the different than we players. In these threatening and lethal times we have to become a officers of a starship.
One of differences from the typical MMO games, is avatar development system – in EvE there is no experience points and levels – while killing NPCs. Instead of that controlled, avatar is progressing trough training an abilities which after some time, are just activating – a bit like in our real lives isn't? Player is not going on in progress by wiping out enemies but by time. Progressment is even still while players are not online
EVE Online is much, more different than ordinary and normal, fantasy or even sci-fi MMO. The main difference in game's system, and freedom in journeys trough the whole world. What's also worth speaking, there is no split into servers, which is one of the main reasons of record. All players are on only one huge server and in one galaxy.
Anyway, game is really worth playing and I hope that you fill intrigued at least for a bit to try it. It's really worth it, really.
