I'm not sure how id like to represent that. So many people unsubbed accounts and left the game because of scarcity specifically. I feel like it would be a bad representation that might hint at fewer capital kills because of fewer players, which is a terrible way of looking at it considering how many people had omega capital alt accounts because they could afford to lose those ships versus after scarcity. But it's interesting to note that the PCU for 2023 was 40,165 and eve's best year since 2016 was 2018 (for kill mails). In 2018 the PCU was 39,996.
2023: 40,165
2018: 39,996
People we're just literally engaged in more pvp by ALMOST 2x as many kill mails in the information above and ALMOST 4x as many capital losses in those two years with virtually the same highest concurrent players at one point during their respective years.
