The games population is doing great since moving to tranquility, it's player count is quickly going to be passing Eve's. Pretty amazing considering Eve has had ten years to get there and Dust only a year.
Even more amazing is how this has never translated to more than 10,000 peak players and horrible match making. Apparently the console market is a drop in the bucket although they have doubled the population of new Eden.
Eve 10 years 6.6 million pilots http://eveboard.com/global/
Dust 1 yeear 6.2 million mercs http://dustboard.com/global

Exactly, also as an F2P game there must be numerous players who tried the game then left it without biomassing.

These counts include deleted characters. The fact is a lot of people tryed this crap game and left and a lot of other people are trying to alt isk farm to help then in some far flung future in new Eden on a game that doesn't exist. Good luck on that. For people that enjoy shooting red dots dust is not the game.

As far as active accounts go, every single active EVE account is being paid for either by the player or by another player using plex allowing someone to "play for free" if they have the time to grind isk to purchase that plex.
Meanwhile a smaller portion of Dust players use real money on the game. Some use a lot of real money, most don't.
In a nutshell, EVE makes a ton of money while Dust does not. Even using modest numbers EVE pulls in over 5 mil per month just through subscriptions paid with money and plex.
Gun control is not about guns...it's about control.
The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

Stuart you are the idiot, I'm fully aware off eve offline, now read the daily counts and the 500 me a created evey hour there and the 6.2 million mercs and tell me how this game is successful. It's not its a sham all those counts are bullshit the game is dead and dying and deserves the crappy fate in store for those that stay behind. I just enjoy pissing on you as you circle the drain. These numbers are facts and do not support an active playerbase they indicate an anemia.

Well that's what I get for glancing through OP post. BTW who is stuart? 2k to 3k at the moment. That's pathetic. there is no turning that around. And this game is dead? Dude this game came out dead the minute the final scores on meta critic came in. say what you about metacritic. But bad scores on both sides of the fence says a lot about the game.
Waiting.. for those to say "But dust has a 10yr plan" |

I currently have lots of chars myself.
Main - Amarr Infantryman
Alt1 - Amarr Vehicles (Gal militia stuff atm, sadly)
Alt2 - Weapon Test alt (can use almost every weapon in game. Crap other skills though)
Alt3 - Cal Tanker (actually has turret skills and everything!)
Alt4 - Cal Scout w/ Knives + Magsec
Alt5 - Min Sent w/ HMG
Alt6 - Cal Sent w/ Forge
Alt7 - Cal Commando w/ Sniper Rifle
Alt8 - Mass Driver spec'd char.
Alt9 - Planned Min vehicle alt. Made but not likely to go anywhere at this point.
Alt10 - Made but unplanned/used
Even though that's a lot of chars, I have this nagging feeling that I left one out.
Anyways, TL;DR: I have some experience in almost every playstyle. I don't put that knowledge to work too often, though.
Amarr Master - All Amarr Dropsuits at lvl 5.

Not like Eve.
In Eve, you have to have a subscription per account. This limits the number of throwaway alts to just that which you have on your three available slots. Also, new characters in Eve are only given 5,000 ISK as inheritance and there is a 24-hour biomass timer. The math just doesn't make it worth it to try to ISK farm in Eve Online using the alt-cycling method especially since you have to deal with a subscription model.
Dust on the other hand uses an endless supply of free accounts, has a 10-hour biomass timer, and new characters are given 500,000 ISK as inheritance.
According to CCP, there are currently 500,000 actively paying subscriptions (via cash or PLEX). Assuming every one of those accounts has all three slots filled with alts, that's 1.5 million characters. But that is of course NOT accounting for dormant accounts where players often take long breaks from playing Eve that last for months or even years before they reactivate their accounts. Even if we account for those, that's still not accounting for the characters that get biomassed either from rage quiting or after being used as a ganker alt.
