![]() There is a time of higher activity from March to May 2020. A period of lower activity can be found during December 2020 which is also the holiday season and the Christmas truce which got announced by most coalitions involved in the war. As you can see, there is no extraordinary change in the activity since the start of the war. Figure 1 is showing the overall PvP activity of all players of EVE Online. The alliances Red Alliance, Siberian Squad and MIDAS 22 are not counted towards any coalition in any state of the war since they switched sides.ģ.1. The information is based on and updated by the author. The following tables 1 and 2 are showing the major participants of every involved coalition. For a better overview of the participants, data will be presented with the activity of the five major coalitions. All information published here does not indicate any fleet participation numbers.Ģ.4. All numbers are based on all regions of EVE Online. The author of this article recommends that such analysis be entrusted to persons with appropriate training. Any data about activity changes purely on a week-to-week basis is statistically wrong and won’t be covered by this article. For a better visualization data points are connected with a line which is not indicating any other calculated data. The data points are calculated for one week, but represented on the first day of a week. All graphs have an abscissa with the date and the ordinate is showing the amount of unique active players in that period. Several methods got evaluated and a grouping of the data by week got chosen. All data shown are collected with the method written above. The database can be provided if requested.Ģ.3. ![]() All information is stored in a MySQL Database for further processing. An API endpoint is provided as a dump feature for providing access to the history of all killmails contained within zKillboard. First all public killmail identifiers were downloaded using the API of zKillboard. All data used for this study is publicly available. Every one of those accounts is counted as one player.Ģ.2. Many people playing EVE Online have more than one account and are playing them the same time. A “player” is every participant involved in killmails. Players who got killed and are not on any killmail as an involved party is not counted as “active”. “active PvP players” will be defined as a player who can be found as an involved party on a killmail. For this analysis some assumptions and definitions must be made. Particular care is taken to ensure that all information in this article is true and is backed up with sources.Ģ.1. It must be noted that the Author is part of The Imperium. In this war a coalition named PAPI or Blue Donut Coalition is assaulting The Imperium. As of many players are participating in a war called World War Bee (WWB). ![]() Furthermore it will be shown that activity numbers are used as a propaganda method and are wrongly interpreted. It will be shown how the latest changes to the game are affecting the PvP activity. This is true for the space-based, persistent world massively multiplayer online roleplaying game EVE Online. The number of people participating in Player vs Player (PvP) content can be used as an indicator for the overall health of the community for PvP driven games. ![]() Furthermore the PvP activity of each participant is not declining, neither on coalition nor on alliance level. It will be shown that the overall PvP activity for all of EVE Online is not affected by the war. ![]() Activity numbers from the start of 2020 until March 2021 will be provided and subdivided by the involved parties including the techniques to gather and analyze them. This analysis examines the number of active PvP players for the parties involved in the current conflict in EVE Online. ![]()
