People online?

Jul 07, 2007 Simian_Kane link
I thought this game was supposed to support thousands of people online? I've just checked the active players and there's 24 people currently online. I'm just downloading the trial at the moment but can guarantee that I won't be paying $9.99 if 24 people online at once is the best it gets.

Support &neq; Currently Has

The game can support far more players than are currently online, but as there has been effectively no advertising so far (the devs are waiting for 2.0), we haven't got many. You might see ~75, and we've had ~300 occasionally.

Also, I love your logic. "There aren't enough people playing this game, so let's fix that by not playing!"

Common sense is never a requirement to play MMOs, unfortunately. I'm proof positive.

Three replies, one with sarcasm, one helpful, and one insult.

One out of three ain't good. Way to go, effectively turning away someone else for a valid question/concern.

Catch 22. Regardless, people would fall into the game if they heard from others that it was awesome. Which isn't happening since the Devs want to hold off on advertising. Which means the population stays low.

God, Jex, try and be at least as mature as I am.

Yes, that is a statement/challenge.

R8GCTRXV, yes, sadly, people are not always nice.

There isn't much we can do sometimes, except not walking that path ourselves.

I am being as mature as you!

Sorry, I don't flick off noobs...

Oh wait, I've flicked you off several times. Never mind.

I saw it as 2 helpful comments and one self-effacing comment. One of the helpful comments was a little sarcastic, I suppose.

Anyway, the graph speaks for itself and I thank Aleksey for linking to it. There are hundreds of paid subscribers but, as the graph makes clear, we're not all on at once.

I think we're done here.
