There is only 4000 players active on a regular basis... This game has been out for that long and still have not grown an inch. We had the highest player count around 9000 during beta and than we remain at this pitiful player bases for nearly 2 years since beta. I have been gone for like 3 months and a few new weapons suits and gear have changed but no new content on maps, modes, exploration, MMO aspects, Eve intergration, or anything to get new players or even keep MMO players. This ***** just lobby shooting all day long.

He's referring to 'active during the same time', I think. And yeah its abysmally low. And dangerous for a F2P gameGǪ
New maps/game modes are more important than gear and balance at this point. Although if they did bring in PVE I'm sure that some players would say good bye to pubs for a long time. I'm sure of this, because I think I would be one of them.

also remember this is during a single instance of time, assuming each player plays 2 hours a day that equates to 48,000 active players a day 24(one day)/ 2 (each players play time) = 12(different player time periods) 4000(amount of players at any given time) * 12 = 48000
It'll help define roles, i promise:)

1. We have only been out of beta for a year (next month) 2. That is 4000 at one time, not total number of players 3. You're over-reacting |

Everyone knows this. There are only so many extremely patient people that can deal with Dust on a regular basis. Just like life, it sucks most of the time, but you deal with it. Sunny days will come soon...CCP= Cant Continue Playing lol.
Also @ Victor, good luck for Cpm. Your a solid dude in and out of the meta game. |

Its world wide live feedback from the server and recorded data over time. It runs off the tranquility server which means 4000- 4500 players are only active. As a matter of fact do you know what the Tranquility server is? |

The fact that the game has not grown at all since the "official" release 11 months ago is a real concern and I actually still hope that CCP can turn this around. Playing the same people over and over again starts to get a little wearing. |

Yes i know what server we run off of i play both Dust and EVE. the current player dust players logged in right now is 4,000 but people who actively play this game is over 50,000. just because i am not logged in at this second does not mean i am not an active dust player.

Okay... Are you aware of the term Active player? It does not mean you are currently playing, it means you play on active schedule or regularly. So if you look at the stats, you will see on the monthly cycle since last year its never gone above 4500...
Keep in mind these are live feedback servers which records everything and stores things in real time. That means it records data per minute. so you can actually see per min in a month/day/week how many players are currently playing. So the end result is on the monthly cycle 4500 players... Current players online is not the same thing. |

That low balling it to.
lets say there are 4,000 players on at a time and each player has a gaming session of 2 hours. so they would rotate out every two hours. so 4000 players play for two hour then go do real life stuff and a new 4000 get on this goes on for 24 hours and that would be around 48000 people playing this game in just one day. these 4000 on right now are not playing the game 24/7 some people log off and other log on.

Its not about playing 24 hours it a live feedback... Meaning every data recorded is accurate. if It show 1000 players at 1 am in the morning its accurate... Which means in the past 3 months the most players are only 4500. Check the charts.. Don't even argue unless you got a link to prove your points.

Edit: if you look at the bottom of the charts you will see that current player number... Which mean players playing right now... So you look at past 3 months or even past 6 months you will see player number never go above 4500. move you mouse on the charts to get the exact number of players during that time span. |

Don't think it is as dire as only 4000, but don't think it's 50000. Gotta take alts into account.
Wish they would improve the NPE, it's just going to get worse. Maybe make it 5 mil sp before graduation. This way, the new guys will have somewhat of a leg to stand on, and time invested to consider toughing it out, once they leave the academy.

So are you saying because i am not playing right now i am an inactive dust player? Well your stupid cause you cant read charts which i learned in 5th grade |

Gotta take alts into account. Wish they would improve the NPE, it's just going to get worse. Maybe make it 5 mil sp before graduation. This way, the new guys will have somewhat of a leg to stand on, and time invested to consider toughing it out, once they leave the academy. did you look at the livefeed charts or just in plain denial?
Denial. Will let you know when i move on to recognition and acceptence.

Yes i know what server we run off of i play both Dust and EVE. the current player dust players logged in right now is 4,000 but people who actively play this game is over 50,000. just because i am not logged in at this second does not mean i am not an active dust player.

I highly doubt the total amount of people that play Dust is even close to that. I'd say it's close to 20,000 at the most.

So that means players are active not during a 24 hour time period but thats the highest number achieved during that 24 hour time peroid. Why do you think the charts are similar to circles? |

The point is that 4,000 players online at the same time is not an acceptable number of people active in this game. 4,000 people online indicates that there are a low number of active Dust players in the community.
Having 20,000-60,000 people online at the same time, would be more acceptable number of players online as that would indicate a large flourishing playerbase in the hundreds of thousands.
Remember, this is a free to play game. These games need to retain as many players as they can, they need a large playerbase because only as small percentage of people actually spend any money on the game. And even fewer people are willing to spend hundreds or thousands on the game.
Also, the point of the OP's post is valid. The point is that Dust has become stagnant. It's hardly growing at all. We have a tiny hardcore playerbase, surrounded by loads of people who don't play this game very much except to participate in an event or new patch, and all of this is floating around an ocean of inactive accounts of the players who have no tolerance for bullshit moment to moment game design and performance.
Realize that anyone giving CCP the benefit of the doubt is the vocal minority. The forgotten inactive accounts are the silent majority.

This gloom and doom crap again.
Dust like EVE does not appeal to most gamers. Most gamers like easy cookie cutter games they can beat or max out in a few months. Dust will never be like that. It will always change and will always have low player numbers when compared to other FPS games.
EVE only has a 500k player base. Compared to other mmos like WOW or even Star Wars the EVE's player count might be considered low. But EVE has constantly grown for many years.
And like Dust EVE had a rocky start. At the beginning many players were convinced EVE was dying and would fade away. Those players were wrong. Over the years EVE has grown from a game nobody heard of, to one that breaks records, makes international press and even has college courses that study EVE, its market and its social interactions.
Dust will only attract a small portion of gamers, but it will continue to grow. Once we make it past this rocky beginning, and most importantly once it is ported to PS4, the player base will continue to grow, albeit slowly.

Though unlike EVE, Dust have not build a name for itself yet. EVE gain alot of notice because of the level of freedom and incredible player created stories. That really does not happen as much in dust due to lack of freedom. But you are right about the rocky start and we can still hope that its just a rocky start. |

I love how this guy is screaming "Read the graph, y u no read the graph".... Then using the term "Live feed" while quoting the daily average...
I wonder if he realises he can move his cursor over that graph and see that data broken up into 15-30min periods? And that the number within those periods is the actual data for that snapshot, not for the day?
"Do you know how to read a graph"... ******* ******.

so for anyone that plays eve and or dust ....
the total number of subscriptions that are used on a regular basis is apx. what follows.
eve has total of 350,000-500,000 of subscribers dust has 50,000-75000 of subscribers
the total amount of people shown on the tranquility server on login is only the current number of the 2 that are online at that moment.
this is the total that are in the games at that point... AND NOT THE TOTAL AMOUNT PLAYING THE GAME ON A REGULAR BASIS.
hrummm hmm sorry but people seem to not understand the difference of ... total amount of players that live In 24 different time zones that are currently playing and total amunt of accounts that are used on a weekly if not daily basis.
because with that logic there is only 30000-55000 people playing eve which is so unimaginable idiotic that I swear I just had a seizure. |

why does it matter how many people are online or are active players? Do you really think CCP cares? If the game makes them a profit, then Dust will continue to live. If it does not make them a profit, then CCP will shut it down. CCP is a real life business and not some fictional space corp with fictional money that you can not use to buy a cup of coffee. They are in this to make money, period! If the small player base spends enough real money on the game, then dust fans will have nothing to worry about. However, if everyone starts to take the whole it's free thing to heart and never spends a dime, then dust fans will have to worry.
Video games are fun for us and sometimes we take them too seriously. We also tend to forget, that these developers are there to make a buck. I know I sure as hell do not work for free. |

IPs are a terrible way to track data since dynamic addressing is the norm. Odds are they are just using a simple counter that goes up one with each connection attempt.

Do you players you see on the game log is both eve and dust
i play almost cap my character every week, i have over 44mil SP but i am not logged in right now are you saying i am not an active player of this game? Yes i know what server we run off of i play both Dust and EVE. the current player dust players logged in right now is 4,000 but people who actively play this game is over 50,000. just because i am not logged in at this second does not mean i am not an active dust player. Okay... Are you aware of the term Active player? It does not mean you are currently playing, it means you play on active schedule or regularly. So if you look at the stats, you will see on the monthly cycle since last year its never gone above 4500... Keep in mind these are live feedback servers which records everything and stores things in real time. That means it records data per minute. so you can actually see per min in a month/day/week how many players are currently playing. So the end result is on the monthly cycle 4500 players... Current players online is not the same thing. yeah and there are over 50,000 players that regularly play the game... just because they are not currently playing does not mean they are not playing the game "on active schedule or regularly." where are you getting 50,000 players from? Edit: there is no 50,000 players. They don't exist. There is no number on that entire page of the eve charts that show 50,000 players.. Look at the live feed charts. http://eve-offline.net/?server=dust
50,000 is an extrapolation. There were currently 4700 players playing, there is a constant replacement throughout the day and not everyone will play every day. If you define "active player" as having played at least one game in the last week then I think 50K is a reasonable guess.
Because, that's why.

They're not going to market the game actively until the game is in a better place. Advertising a game where the sandbox is 99% controlled by one entity won't get people to stick with it. The new player experience is currently awful. They need to fix that BEFORE they advertise the game, so people that try it, actually stick with it.

But you only show up in the chart while you are logged in., same thing with alts. The numbers playing is a pretty solid statistic, the guesswork comes in trying to figure out how players are cycling through.
Because, that's why.

Some Eve players have multiple accounts running at the same time. Some have used programs that copy inputs from one client to others, essentially having a 'bot fleet' of ships. CCP allows this.

I'm not saying 4000 is something to jump for joy at, but how many people do you expect to play with at any given time?
90% of MMOs you are playing with a few thousand at most as there are separate servers. That's absolute peak times too. I understand Dust is not an MMO but what game, in terms of numbers, do you think Dust should mimic?
It's never going to be Battlefield or COD, those are highly publicized short life games from huge developers. |

Allow multiple clients to run at the same time/place yes.
Allow scripts for botting. Ummm hate to break it to you but no, no they do not.
Deciphering the truth from a web of lies is far easier than you'd think. Especially if you're a bureaucrat.

New maps/game modes are more important than gear and balance at this point. Although if they did bring in PVE I'm sure that some players would say good bye to pubs for a long time. I'm sure of this, because I think I would be one of them. Not dangerous at all, considering there are 25k+ EVE players logged in at any given time (a conservative lower-end estimate; I regularly see 35k+ logged into New Eden).
Since CCP is working on integrating Dust and EVE (working even harder, I'd assume, since they dropped the vampire weekend project, or whatever it was called), those numbers are great--taking into account time zones, peoples' personal lives, etc., etc., the fact that CCP can get what amounts to a small town to be logged into Dust at any given moment is commendable.
I like to give CCP a poke in the ribs every once in a while, but seriously--Dust is flippin genius, and I suspect it will only get better.

The account numbers are a farce. CCP benefits from them being inflated, so they do nothing about the rampant abuse.

I don't expect to see those numbers rise until we have an awesome NPE and the core game in place. DUST seems to be the PS4 beta. I'm perfectly fine with that to be honest. It has come a long way (though it still has a long ways to go). If development can keep pushing forward over the next year, I think DUST will be worthy of some marketing by Fanfest 2015.
Best PvE idea ever!

No.....that number also includes the EVE players, it's very misleading when you first log into to your character.

eve offline shows players who are currently online and connected to the server if i turn on my play station and select dust and log on it goes up 1 i turn it off it goes down 1
if 450 people log off and then 500 log on it goes up 50
if it were only 4000 people online through out the day (assuming 2 hours per day and 10% logging on for the daily sp bonus) there would only be 300 people online at any given time, split between 4 game modes 75 people per game mode that would take 30 minutes to find a match (rough estimate)
4000 / 12 =330 330 * .9 = 300 300/4 = 75
this doesnt even include people editing fittings or just generaly afk
It'll help define roles, i promise:)

its 15 minutes api call up last I checked I am pretty sure chibbera can clarify.
What we don't get api access to is unique visitors over the course of an api call over the time span. Basing off eve and most other mmo numbers that publish their 'active' login and active unique players over the course of the day the ratio is about 1:12 and this has been highly consistent with free and pay for games.
So to the Op
learn to read graphs; I know they stopped teaching it at some schools but its still rather critical you learn how to.

Sometimes things look easy to fix but aren't, but in this case I really think it would be extremely easy to stop this. I have 4 accounts. I could use my 8 character slots not gathering passive sp to make 4 million a day and it would take about 15 minutes a day.
So I was in re war room reading posts when there was a big flap about a glitch and whether one corp was exploiting a glitch, while the other corp claimed they were ethical because they only exploited bad game mechanics, like locking districts. I'd ask them if exploiting this is ethical since it is clearly just a bad game mechanic. If not, what is the difference?
Because, that's why.

It is confirmed that there are over 50000 active accounts playing Dust 514 every day (excluding biomassing alts).
All of these players obviously dont play at the same time due to different time zones, how much time you spend ingame, etc.
Dont know if the people posting the peak values (EVE-offline) need to go to statistics class, or if they are trolling.
