That's IT for open beta launch numbers?
Wow - i'd consider this failure as a launch.
EDIT: It just... seems so low a number compared to 100,000 i was almost expecting. Guess my hopes were too high? Or I'm reading this page wrong. |

You realise the actual figure is over 600k right? Over half a million players. That's a lot more than what play EVE.

I don't get that graph.
Is it showing number of mercs added every hour? So you'd have to figure out the intervals and add them all up to get the total number?
The > 600k part at the top sound nice. Since when is it counting? The move to TQ? |

How many of those 600k are Alts though? Would the real number of 'players' be closer to a third of that? |

I'd say the drop rate is a LOT higher than that - it is an F2P game and in open beta, so people have zero investment in it.
Nevertheless, I agree they are good numbers. |

We're going to have to be very careful with the "total mercs" number in a free-to-play game. The 600K number presumably includes everyone who signed-up, tried Dust for twenty minutes and never played again.

Also, I just went to see if http://dust-offline.net/ exists yet, and sadly it doesn't.
I'd love to see PCU (peak concurrent user) counts for Dust, and also whether the shape of the curves is similar to the distinctive shape of the Eve ones (http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility). |

The > 600k part at the top sound nice. Since when is it counting? The move to TQ? You can mouse over the graph to get values for the intervals. And also, the total number of Mercs is the number of mercs created in total (at one point or the other, so since first release) ![Smile](https://forums.dust514.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_smile.png)

EVE can hit 50K logged in. I think its somewhere over 400K subscribed.

I don't think you are reading that correctly, it is around 2,000 an hour or so. Give or take. Around 750,000 characters to date for a still obscure game that no one really likes, apparently. With no advertising to speak of. So even if that is every player filling 3 character slots it is still a lot more than 100,000 players.

I've read that EVE has had about 12,000,000 characters created to date. Dust still has a ways to go but given the huge player base on PS 3 will get there farily quickly with a little publicity. But I hope they wait until they have a much deeper and polished game before going all out on ads. SInce E3 last year did seem to catch the game un prepared... not to say with its pants down... but not as ready for the public as we were hoping. |

[db]Global is tracking: 757,184 mercenaries! <-----as of the time of this post.
Assuming 3 characters for every player (one main and two alts) that would bring the number down to around 252,394 players. But not all players have alts and only CCP knows the true number of main players. Based on the population stats mentioned by CCP for Eve Online's player base, I suspect the actual number of main players to be around 350,000-500,000 players.
Even at the conservative 350,000 number, that is still significantly close to the current Eve Online population of 450,000 accounts. |
