I once played a game called Starhawk,
Starhawk was made in early 2012 I believe, It lost most of it's playerbase due to horrible unbalances at launch. Saying that I mean HORRIBLE unbalances nothing dust have ever seen. That was eventually sorted out, The playerbase dropped to below 1000 Many people said it would die, But as the days carry on, it's still going strong with about 300 players on.
Dust 514 won't die.
3000 players is enough to keep it alive for years.
Those 3000 players are before CCP even puts out advertisements.
Summary: Doom Sayers are wrong. |

Summary: Doom Sayers are wrong. .. I think you just explained why Starhawk failed and why CCP is following suit... 3000 players for a progressive game is not the same as 300 players on a game where everything is handed to you from day one.
What is failure though?
If you can find a full game who cares what the player count is.
Let me link you to this:

Enough to find a full lobby.

Summary: Doom Sayers are wrong. I was there. And what happened there should be a cautionary tale of what not to do. star hawks number is nothing to be proud of. tsk.. shame after how awesome warhawk was.
You can play it now and you'll still find a full lobby.
I also know quite a few Starhawk players play Dust. |

Summary: Doom Sayers are wrong. low player counts cause the game to get boring tho, when your fighting the same people over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
I enjoyed it, if you get bored over that, you get bored too easily. |

A game that is free to play, yes I am.

Lack of advertising, poor sales, VERY unbalanced for the first month so word was mouth advertisement was bad.
Generally it had a terrible spawn problem in the beginning since the weapons were so OP one side would get into the other sides base and kill them till the end of the game. |

A game that is free to play, yes I am. Why are you on the forums then? We're trying to improve things - not fit your standard of a cheap game.
Sorry to state this but, complaining about how low you think the player base is and how Dust is going to die won't improve stuff. |

Sorry to state this but, complaining about how low you think the player base is and how Dust is going to die isn't an effective way of helping to improve stuff. So - just because you don't like what's being done by 'vets' everything must be fine?Your logic - have any?
I just stated that saying that the game will die and the player counts are too low is counterproductive.
Then you respond with that question... You just implied that it's the 'vets' that are the ones saying those things.
Saying that I am willing to except a game that is in a state of mediocrity does not mean I don't think there is room for improvement. |

Advertisement.
When this game was advertised originally it was in closed beta and was tried by a few. If it's advertised now when everyone can try it for free, those player counts will rocket. |

No point replying like a small kid, it may have been open beta for 3 months but wheres the:
TV Adverts? Magazine Adverts? Newspaper Adverts? Internet Adverts? Adverts in general?
There have been little to none, so a lot of players don't know about it. |
