===Demographics=== As of October 2006, the average age of an ''EVE Online'' player was 27, of which 95% were male and 5% were female. The average weekly playtime is 17 hours, or just under 2.5 hours per day on average.<ref name="vern_hilmarpeturson_evecurrency" /> On June 6, 2010, ''EVE Online'' claimed a new record for the maximum number of simultaneous pilots online with 60,453 concurrent accounts logged on to the same server. This record followed closely after the release of the thirteenth major expansion, ''Tyrannis'' and the 8th ''Alliance Tournament''. ''EVe Online'' typically experiences the highest amount of users on Sundays and the peak player records have almost exclusively been broken on Sundays.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1331799&page=3#66|title=Log the alts in (New PCU) 58,648 Players so far (60,453) |accessdate=2010-06-06|work=eveonline.com|publisher=[[CCP]]}}</ref> As of May 6, 2009, ''EVE Online'' claimed to have more than 300,000 active subscriptions and 45,000 active trial accounts.<ref name="qen_q4_2007">{{Cite web|url=http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/pdf/QEN_Q4-2007.pdf|format=PDF|title=Quarterly Economic Newsletter 4th quarter 2007|accessdate=2008-02-23|last=Gu冒mundsson|first=Eyj贸lfur|coauthors=Kjartan 脼.
