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.

Pretty good after all the crap with PSN and just 48 hours in.

Cerebral Wolf Jr Immobile Infantry 760	Posted - 2013.01.24 23:00:00 - [6] - Quote You realise the actual figure is over 600k right? Over half a million players. That's a lot more than what play EVE. Also, is this Chribbas work?

We've added over 80,000 in just under 12 hours I was wondering I was jumping the gun in that post without looking through it more clearly. Glad to see I was. seems we did earn well over 100,000! yay! Time for a nap now cause I'm obviously out of it now.

Marc Rime Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 31	Posted - 2013.01.24 23:07:00 - [9] - Quote 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?

Icy Tiger Universal Allies Inc. 1026	Posted - 2013.01.24 23:12:00 - [11] - Quote So around 600 k mercs total, let's say half are alts, 300 k total, say 100 k stopped playing, we got 200 k left. Not bad at all.

Not bad at all. 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.
R F Gyro ZionTCD Legacy Rising 315	Posted - 2013.01.24 23:25:00 - [13] - Quote 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. Quote: Also, is this Chribbas work? Looks like it from the copyright notice.
R F Gyro ZionTCD Legacy Rising 315	Posted - 2013.01.24 23:29:00 - [14] - Quote 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).

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) Original thread about the site (shameless advert here ofc) is https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=52642 /c

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 think its somewhere over 400K subscribed. 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.
Maken Tosch Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 1593	Posted - 2013.01.27 02:00:00 - [30] - Quote [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.

Ok just to clear things up :P Eve 350,000 players 30-50,000 online at once. 200,000 people log in every day. Dust 750,000 players Who the ** knows The impressive fact here is games like Guild Wars 2/WoW/EQ2 only allow for 6,000-8,000 people logged into a Server Shard. Even then they put you into overflow areas if too many people are in the city or field they make a new world and let the overflow into there. No game even comes close to having 50,000 players logged into a single game world at once. And now us Dust players will be online as well in that world. Chatting send mail and using the same market. This is going to be ***** awesome.

Lets all get along here BUT YOU'RE WRONG! ON THE INTERNET! Naw, I'm kidding. I only get like that in sci-fi tech debates. And it really is an impressive number considering that we've only just entered open beta. If player numbers keep growing like they do then we may just give WoW a run for it's money. Wouldn't that be somethin'?
