simple question guys, how many people do you think will be playing at launch??? 10,000?? 100,000? 500,000?? i have my own opinion but i want to hear what you guys think. its hard for me to say exactly how many because of how unique this game is, i mean, the game is free which means that theoretically there could be over 70,000,000 who could own it, but at the same time thats never going to happen soooooo what do you guys think???

1500 on the U.S. Server.

thats it.

lol, do you mean right now?? or how many people you think will be playing at launch?? if its the latter then i think thats helarious, but i also gotta ask why you think that??

They want to say its f2p but we know better.30 day actives and passives and the dedicated player will keep moving leaving the average player in the Dust....you only have to read post like this one https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=46489&find=unread

and realize that if they dont segregate the newbs and give us PVE and get better at the wp(bring the rep back)team heals for nano hives,fix the sensor modules so they pay some kind of wp....then we the 1500 of us a year from now will think were are king **** of a "ghost town".Maybe when it get bundled with the PS4 then we will see a massive influx...but it depends if CCP segregates them so they dont get stomped.Maybe the dedicated will recruit and the rest of us originals will be like special forces standing out from the masses...but dont get your hopes up.

My god, you really have no concept of how CCP does things, do you? I g curb stomped daily for months when I first started playing EVE. Guess what, 6 years later, I still active. Th learning curve and single server will attract people to Dust gust like it does to EVE

In addition, this game has to make it on PS3 to get on the PS4 to Sony as well. I don't know numbers and waiting for the next release but I think it will have a niche player base not a major success. Im hoping this doesn't happen though will changes that need to be made. Honestly, i do believe that a game could last that long on a console. I believe there is a generation of gamers that want there to be more than 'Ooooh.... Shinies' and for their time in game to mean more than just a k/d ratio

Why do betas always make rational people lose their common sense. Even this beta is a small reflection sample size of a player base after release and losing numbers No, to some people it's more war points than k/d radio. I'm a logi and even though I can't get points for half what I do, I still do it. I may not lead the board in k/d (in fact, I'm currently a .52) I still enjoy the role I choose play. If I can help those go 16/1 who can by dropping links and hives, then I will. It's about the greater good of the group and not the individual. It's pretty much how things work in New Eden.
