Over 400,000 as of March this year. That's quite low. But its subscribers are pretty loyal I guess, so what it lacks in broad appeal it makes up for in really being attractive to a certain niche of players. Anyway, to the topic at hand, gloating over the game being unforgiving and inaccessible is stupid. CCP should not make that a hallmark of theirs. EVE's opacity is a mistake. A major flaw in the game. Dust should be appealing to people whether they're good at FPS games or not. That doesn't mean sacrificing core principles, but it does mean creating stuff like "beginner servers" or whatever you'd call it, so that new players are not overwhelmed and dominated until they quit the game.

You can't compare subscriber numbers for MMOs to WoW because it has far more than any MMO past or present. EVE has been steadily growing for about ten years and for a non-WoW MMO has a decent number of subscribers. I never compared it to WoW. But even compared to SWTOR, it's low. Warhammer Online had more during its peak. Rift. Age of Conan. LOTRO. Lineage. Aion. Etc. Don't get me wrong, I like EVE more than any of those other games. But acting like the game being apathetic to the plight of new or relatively unskilled players is a good thing is silly. EVE has succeeded in spite of these aspects. CCP has attempted to mitigate it over the years, and continues to do so, but low subscriber amounts because the game actively pushes players aware hurts everyone. I don't think Dust is really guilty of this, personally, but if it is or ever becomes that way, it'd be a problem to be fixed ASAP.

I don't have any interest discussing the semantics of what EVE is. Learning curve, "not user friendly", whatever the **** ever. Everyone who's ever played knows what I meant.
