There are 243 districts, each of which can be attacked once per day. Each battle takes approx. 20 minutes, and there are 23 hours in the day in which battles can take place, so that works out at about 3 to 4 PC battles on at any particular time. There should be 32 mercs in each of those battles, so on average there are slightly over 100 mercs fighting PC battles at any time.
Average player count recently is about 4,000 which means that only about 3% of those players are in PC matches.
Not sure why I worked this out, or why I'm posting it. |

0.3% would be a better estimate |

CCP needs to hurry up and get the system of varying size districts in place so more of the smaller corps can get a taste of the action as well as forcing even some of the larger corps to either start recruiting again or hire mercs in able to compete. Planetary Conquest is the biggest draw to the game and more than 3% should be experiencing it. |

I haven't been in a single planetary conquest match and I don't feel bad for it. I suck, I know it. My corp knows it. And more importantly, now so does everyone else, not that it'd be a mystery if you'd played a match with (or against) me. I'm one of those 'dreaded' casuals. Rawr. I'm no leech, though. Quite the opposite, I've donated millions to support my corp's cause and if need be will do so again. That's just how nice I am. I don't want to drag my corp down with my **** poor performance. |

What would that estimate be based on? Just a gut feel that my number is 10 times too high? |

People come to me and say "hey, planetary conquest sounds awsome" But when they figure out that only a fraction of the most hardcore players gets in on it. Most just laughs and don't log back on. I'm just gonna lean back, watch as the train goes by and see what happens. It's no secret that this migth end up beeing really bad for CCP. |

If my own corp's experiences are indicative of PC in general, 3% of the population gets to queue for PC, more like 1.5% actually get to play it without unplayable freeze ups and extremely low FPS.
Frankly, until the mode is playable, it's sort of irrelevant how many people get to "participate." |

3% sounds a bit high... You have to remember that is only about 8 or 10 corps that can afford daily attacks & defense, and each of that corps have their own Elite team, that will most likely take part in all the battles.. so is more like ;
16 x 10 = 160 people every 24 hours, and most likely is the same people every day.
Everyone else is just wondering what this PC thing is all about ....Is like that cool place in a nightclub, that only some people is allow to go in..... yeah.. you know where i going with this... so i don't going to say it. |

you can get into PC any time you want, just don't expect to be handed a district. If you really want to take part in PC make alliances, find other corps small or large that you can work with to secure a system. PC is a LOT of work, which is why its so hard to get into, because you shouldn't be doing it on a whim. If you are willing to invest the time and isk into making it work, a small corp can take as much space as it wants but with out support it will be all you will be doing. Even the giant corps have made use of alliances to protect their holdings in PC. |

that said larger holdings with smaller returns might be a better Idea so corps have to cycle through their members more. |
