I was waiting for the excuses. But the game honestly only hits 5k at peak times, whereas it USED to hit almost 10k. How far the adequate have fallen. |

and that's why the EU time zone is dying, not the US one.... |

The game is taking a hit on its numbers. I log on at different times a day and usually see around 5500 to 6k on the game, if that. Add to that, in my experience I am the only one on my friends list who even still plays Dust. |

the numbers are going back down to open beta levels from the spike from release. guess those are the only ones staying for now I guess. |

The game averaged around 6500 to 7500 players a day that was about 2 to 4 weeks ago now its 5000 to 6000 players a day. On Sundays where the population is usually the highest, it was 5900 players yesterday when its usually a few thousand more than that. If you check the past month chart the population kept decreasing and it never went up again besides getting slightly more players on Sunday. http://eve-offline.net/?server=dust |

The only reason the population is low atm is because there are psn problems, and not everyone can get on. I usually see over 6000 |

Every game has a graph like that around launch. Huge population spike around release, then it dribbles down after some people realize the game isn't for them yet.
So don't be alarmed by this- I've seen it tons of times. |

Yup, it happened with eve in the early days.
Eve's secret, release regular expansions that add to the game experience.
CCP are the only game company ever thats released an mmo and saw a steady rise in players over 10 years. |

I was just letting ccp (and the entire community) know that one of the typical eu playtime's "dead". You say fight each others, but you know it's kinda disappointing when you want to fight on the EU server and you just see the same 12 players. That's just my opinion, so inb4trolls |

Yup! it's not that you're fighting cronos. It's probably because you're playing on the EU battle server. It's been weeks, but no one really cared... FPS between continents is never a good idea. |

at least 80% of all statistics are just made up on the spot.
Also, I think it's a bit more important to examine this compared to player count BEFORE the game went into "Release", because for all intents and purposes Open Beta was ... kind of release. Everyone who really wanted to play DUST 514 or was dedicated to it had -already- been playing it, and most of the numbers from when it went to release is a lot of various people trying the game for a short while, deciding it wasn't for them and moving on.
The game is more or less designed from the ground up for a relatively small player base ((CCP designs toward Niche markets, not mass market)) and their game can manage with around the player count we had in Open Beta. The time right after "release" is always the largest boom to most FPS games, and any comparison to that time period of a few weeks is inevitably going to lead to the perception of a heavy drop off in player count and a "dying game".
The game will probably level out in player count with around 5 - 6 k players during prime time, and will more than likely slowly grow with each large expansion. CCP favors a VERY VERY longterm approach to making games, and for them the important metrics aren't release player count, as it is for many games, but the player count a year or even two years after release.
In this respect CCP may be perceived as moving very slowly compared to most FPS games which release, and by now are getting a DLC pack or two.
To say the game is dying when it is going through a similar process ALL games go through is somewhat disingenuous, and the important thing to remember is that player count around release / huge patch is Always higher than the norm, and that number always deflates over the weeks that follows until it stabilizes around the actual playerbase that constantly palys this game. (Often with a few more players sticking with the game.)
Also, to that one person that released a chart showing player count tapering off to nothing by July, please learn Statistics.
Extrapolation is a Crime, and also on the subject, No, you can't "warm up" a slot machine either. |
