"On 2007.12.09 at 20:18 (GMT) Tranquility’s simultaneous user number reached an astonishing 41,690 up from 38,242. This marks yet another proud moment in EVE Online’s history. Records are made to be broken. EVE continues to attract new users with every expansion. Proving yet again, that EVE is not simply aging gracefully, instead it's continually adapting, expanding, and improving is such a way that EVE Online remains a competitive MMORPG."
