CCP Games have announced that Eve Online, the popular spaceship MMO that launched ten years ago, now has more than 500,000 subscribers for the first time in its history. Perhaps a result of the Chinese launch in December and/or the launch of the Dust 514 open beta on PS3, nevertheless Eve Online is as healthy as ever.
"Ten years after release, it is incredibly inspiring that, through a lot of hard work from our EVE Online team, we are crossing the half-million subscriber mark," said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP. "For me, this is a true testament that EVE can live on forever, as long as we do right by her. We have not come to this point alone; millions of players have helped push us to this milestone. I now know in my mind what I previously only believed in my heart: that EVE will outlive us all."
