CCP Games has revealed that its intricate space-based MMO, EVE Online, has passed the 300,000 active subscribers level, a milestone which coincides with the sixth anniversary of its launch.
The Iceland-based company has seen its flagship game grow consistently over the past few years, with active subscribers jumping 22 per cent since the start of 2009, and setting a new record of almost 54,000 concurrent players in the single-shard universe.
"As the population of New Eden has grown, so have the instances of emergent behaviours of its pilots - a 6-year persistent history," read a statement. "A living history where truly brilliant strategies have unfolded. Truly terrible betrayals unveiled. We are excited to see what will happen next."
EVE is best known for its complex game design, which has given rise to a player-driven political situation and a fully player-dependent in-game economy.
The company is also at work on a second MMO project, although details remain sketchy.
