So I bought into the whole merc pack deal and started playing dust that weekend (June 27th). And let me just say I had a blast despite all the glaring defects in the game...it is a beta after all. That weekend, which was the first official event, went well numbers wise. At one point that weekend I think there was around 5000 players. Since that weekend though I have to say that the numbers are way down, I think I have yet to see more than 5 or 6 hundred players on at any one time. Maybe I'm just not playing at peak times or something. Anyone else notice this? |

Maybe the IGN guys saw all the forums posts about being fresh meat and were scared... |

Yeah it was supposed to be this weekend, and I did see more peeps on this weekend than last, but the numbers still weren't tat great. I'd be interested to know if CCP has released any sales figures for the merc pack...anyone? Also I think sony home had like 10000 free keys to give away, although I'm not 100% on those numbers. |

Tbh, everyone I talk to isn't really aware this game is even coming.
Press is non existent other than news that is driven by CCP.
I could see IGN players starting it up, getting goomba stomped, and playing something else. |

It's a beta, theres other things to do once you tried it you know? I used to play a lot bug theres so much bug abuse that its not fun and will most likely not be fixed until next build release. |

don't think so, it's just there's only one map now (since thrusday we've also got the first map who was on the 1st beta version) but for some player (me include) it's not enought, and some player are leaving, maybe they'll be back after the realase !
all people are not patient as us for wait ! ^^ |

there was 10,000 originally (exlcuding mercs and events) but most of those numbers have dwindled dramtically because weve been here for 2 or 3 months, as much of a dust fan as i am. seriously 2 maps over 2 months is grating. iv tested all i can test and iv given all the feedback i can see. so ill pop on to feed my addiction every now and then, but im waiting for chances to try new things atm.
tbh i dont trust those servers numbers anyway. i was on an ambush (eu) on a full map, a friend of mine on comms on our pc's asked where i was. i told him, but his game told him there was only 3 people in the game type. i counted a full 24, not to mention when he tried to join he go thrown into another game, with at least 19 players.
so i wouldnt pay to much attension to them |

The method they gave out the last event keys was different results show that the Home event key give away got more players online and more people seeing the beta at current. And like everyone would guess, people would buy merc pack for full access.
I say, they shouldve done both IGN and PS Home again. Then next event add another way for more keys to go out.
More new players to met my AR and RE. lol |

Game is in BETA. Not really born yet. Not dying. Lost of folks are leaving because, like you, they don't understand what a closed beta is, and expected a fully polished, release ready AAA title. |

some people in the beta i talked with said, that they are passing on this game until KB/M support is implemented (which should be august if i am not wrong), so there might be a slight increase in the numbers of gamers. Unless the non KB/M faction stops playing altogether. |

This, I bet a majority of the 10k on PSN pop in for one or two games a weekend to get the goodies at release (I k now of a handful who do that for sure). Also, you have to remember that CCP controls how many weekend keys go out. I suspect the first weekend of every build is when they'll send out the majority of keys (for quick feedback on problems in the build). I expect to see 3-5k people online again the first week of August. |

People that want to mainly to "play" instead of "test" will surelly not be here for long.
Besides, the "weekend only" invites are somewhat fustrating for some. |

I've seen as many as 500 GAMES yesterday, let alone the number of people.
Admittedly, it also dropped as low as about 500 people, and this is (in both cases) the total across US and EU servers. |
