Slow Monday? Everybody playing the latest new and shiny? The exceedingly short attention span of the average console gamer? People will come back after some new stuff is released. Remember, CCP said they weren't going to push marketing until the end of this year. Consider this an extended beta phase while they work to get things balanced and new content finished. |

CCP Pokethulhu, their marketing director. It was in some interview or presentation. I think it was around Fan Fest when he showed off the concept ad where the dust mercs form and crumble into dust. |

I think most people are forgetting that the Northern Hemisphere is basically in Summer now. And yes seasons do play a factor as well for most MMO's or whatever.
Looking at the Server Status & Populations of a myriad of different online games at the SOE site, populations are relatively low across the board. |

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 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 |

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 |

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. |

~5.1k players now ... a more important graph than the one of players on-line now is the "Newborn player graph" at the bottom of http://www.eve-offline.net/?server=dust . Its showing ~20k new players being created every day (more or less).
Either they are not being retained, they are alts being created, or they are letting SP accrue so they can do something. THAT number is the more important and interesting one to look at and address. Why is a game with 20k+ new players being created in a day merely showing an average of ~5k-6k players max at any one time?
Edit: Apologies ... we're down to ~15k new players daily now. |
