It's a landmark I feel we all should celebrate considering this game has been out for over a year now.

After today nobody will want to log in again...

I hope it happens man.. The 4440 we saw today was. Just for the new build it will drop.

guys, today is MONDAY, people have work/school/other stuff to do

It's a landmark I feel we all should celebrate considering this game has been out for over a year now.

BTW somebody go check RFoM, SOCOM Confrontation, Socom 4, and MAG to see if they have similar players counts.

We might be able to qualify DUST as a "Dead Game"

Just logged in. 5300+ players.

You're wrong again, protodude.

But keep trying, it's cute ;)

When I see the number 5,000 it seems like quite a few players. Dust's success or failure will be seen in the long run, does player count increase decrease stay the same.

Also,it is free to play. player count does not mean more money for CCP. but rather how many spend money. some will many won't.

5396 peak... And I can imagine a few hundred more players waiting on reviews from IGN and Gamespot. All this with little to no advertising.

I would reckon that WHEN DUST hits 10k players, PSN will advertise it on the front page, and it should get a few thousand more players trying it out simply because it's free.

Expect it to expand then through word-of-mouth.

I swear you made a thread about leaving just yesterday... why do these people never stay gone!

i saw a few days ago over 35000 players almost 40000

I predicted that the game wouldn't break 5,500.Looks like I was right,not that I wanted to be,but what else would you expect when Sony didn't even bother with any meaningful advertising.

This will probably be a worse situation than what happened with MAG and it's lack of advertising.

Don't really understand how anyone expects a game to be successful when tons of people either don't know what it's about,or don't know about it at all.

With numbers this pitiful,CCP might as well take out the empire control skill,and use that space for something else.

Highest record has been 6,497, at 23:50:08 GMT on 2013-05-15.

This game has been out for a year. it was only commercially released this past week. It's nice to see it's numbers rising. However it doesn't change the fact that CCP has work to do in regards to fixing the core mechanics in which they completely butchered.

6000 players online at once puts DUST at like about half, or a third of the players of

HALO 4...

Yeah DUST is so dead. Cant even match up to one of the most popular FPS franchises of all time. Pssh.

Give it time, it will grow as HALO 4 shrinks. Lets revisit the stats in 6 months. Unless you are scared to give it more than two days after release.

That was sarcasm, dear. Just in case you missed it.

1. at one point during it's closed beta... MAG had 77,000 on. that's just a simple comparison. when i did basic math for the blog about planetary, using the numbers from a random server count on BF3 as the time, they had at least 5 digits in server pop and the numbers still would have been small enough to chop up the multiverse without ever having fired a shot. just some baseline stuff. it took mag a long time to get down to the 7k mark and that was the sign it was gasping.

2. i predicted a rise to about 15k with a lull back down to 7 to 5. i was wrong. never got the 15k.


3. consider this:

"Server Population >Filter By> 514
Filter By> EvE"

if there was a filter in place to see ONLY the 514 mercs... uh, well. not sure how that would change things.

but:

they really haven't spent much on promo from what i can tell.

promotion is a lot in the media bidness, sad to say.
fancy cut scenes and intense edits won't do the job.

still looking forward to some good solid planetary with the hope that the momentum increases in the next few weeks and the ones who haven't started yet bandwagon it.

Peace

5360 on now at 19:50 GMT.

The new cod only has 30,000 people logged in at once, that's less than eve online. Dust will make it of they fix the game , dropsuits, skills art

sad thing is this game is free it wont grow much as it offers nothing to eve at all

What part of "updates" do you not get?

What part of "updates" do you not get?

so when will these updates happen till they do dust offers nothing to eve which is my point and when they do there will be little to no point in them. ex. owning a planet give a boost to pi right well who in there right mine does pi lowsec so it is a waste of a bouns and most people use temp and barrren planets as production planets so it really is a waste of a bouns. the fuel bouns is cool but with the price of fuel going up a ton less income made from said pos so unless its some worth alot people wont be using the only good thing that dust has to offer.

I think thats steam where cod isnt really popular to begin with on there. The ps3 gets like 300,000 - 400,000 active players daily .
