 - You mean characters
Has anyone at anytime ever seen over 10,000 players online?
Anyway - not adding to the rant, just trying to keep facts straight.

2.5 million is a throwaway number though.
+1 to you for the info.

Anyway - not adding to the rant, just trying to keep facts straight. 7-8k dropping to 6-7 k off peak, 24 hours a day, every day. You'd have to assume at least some of those are newbies or casuals that only play for a few hours on the weekend and maybe for an hour at a time during the week. The roll through of players suggests that there are a lot more than what shows up as connected. Logic, boys and girls, tells us that there is more to see than our little snapshots of what is happen when we're on.
I understand where you are coming from but you do understand that when you have certain events like the game launching or new builds come out and you see the amount that log on you get an idea of the die hards. The die hards and forum savvy players are the ones asking for respecs - not the casuals that just try or play in between other games.
You are also not taking into account the number of players who maybe on many of those hours - it isnt just a rolling number with different people passing through. The reason I highly doubt 90,000 and 2.5 million is obvious - I can constantly create new characters. Many ppl can try the game and never play again. Many die hards have multiple accounts and multiple characters.
I kind of guage it by the forum activity, taking into account that the forum is only a fraction of the base, though for a game like this it is probably higher than the norm and obviously events. We will see what the numbers are come the Templar event. |
