Hello!

I just found a nice scientific article about EVE subscribers and such. Who like graphs and statistics should check it out. And I als recommend to for the DEVs because Perpetuum is the same genre of MMO what is EVE. So this could help I hope.

2 things that importatnt there (imo):
- player retetnion is going to 20 % of the players most of the time

- player retention is decreasing over time, (because of the newbies feelings they cant reach the starters and such)
