Despite the problems it's having with the latest Trinity patch, MMORPG EVE Online was able to break a new record in terms of the number of simultaneous users in one of CCP Games' servers for the title.

The achievement happened in Tranquility, EVE Online's largest supercomputing cluster. Here's the announcement made by CCP Games:

On 2007.12.09 20:18 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.

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.
