According to one of the presentations held at Fan Fest, EVE is hitting just shy of their mark in terms of current paying subscribers, with a total population of 302, 657.

Being a single shard game, EVE Online also keeps track of the game's concurrent user number. This is the total number of players online together on the server at any given time. That number recently topped out at just over 50,000.

Setting EVE apart from its MMO counterparts is its thriving, player-run economy. It is such an important aspect of the game, and has become so complicated over the years that CCP has a full time real-life economist on its payroll. He tells us that the market handles over one million transactions per day, valuing four trillion ISK.

According to the most recent Quarterly Economic Newsletter, there are currently more than 300 trillion ISK on all of the accounts within the game, and 170 trillion of that is on active accounts. The average EVE player, we also learn, has about 500 million ISK to their name.

EVE players have logged 48,387,631,535 minutes in game. That's 433,231 years, or maybe you'd like it in hours: 806,460,525.

207,053 Player Corporations have been created in EVE Online. The total number of players formed corporations in the game that currently have more and zero members is 114,692.

95% of EVE's subscribers are male, and 28 is the average age of players.

The oldest player in EVE is 76.
