In January, EVE Online broke its its record for peak concurrent users when 45,186 pilots logged in at the same time. Well, thanks to last weekend's PvP tournament finale, that record has been crushed once again as the 50,000 mark was shattered.

Due in large to the Alliance Tournament VI finale this weekend, the PCU (Peak Concurrent User) record was broken the third time this year with 51,675 pilots logging in to the single-shard world that is EVE Online.

The numbers just keep growing for the 5-year-old game. We'll have to wait and see if the release of the retail box and Apocrypha expansion on March 10 will lead to any more record-breaking numbers this year.
