People have been saying that the playerbase is getting smaller. Did CCP just slap in the numbers of the EVE Players to save face because of that? Or is it that Dust have merged completely with EVE Online that the numbers merged as well? What is the average numbers of Dust players now? I personally want to get more people on Dust 514, but I cannot seem to convince some of my illiterate friends to join due to the complexity of the game. I do know that EVE Online has a stable, decent playerbase. But Dust is a FPS and the regular FPS audience wants something more of quick-paced action.

Actually, it may seem that the number of females may be growing. I'm sure that some guys do play female avatars and that would bring in more female players. But I think this game appeals to women because of the female suits and that it's more cooperative than the ego-shooter lone wolf COD. Dust 514 is doing a good job of that, but I think maybe if they add in more speed and big explosives and nukes, it would make the guys' eyes and balls burst and that will grow the playerbase better. What are your thoughts?

number of females on dust 514 growing? How would you figure that? I only know of two women that play Dust, Angel Sunshine, and the second one is in SVer True Blood "Ultimate" something , forgot exactly what her name was

there are a few in my corp as well... but I will not rudely call them out as you have done

...the Dust community is a bit more mature and is usually more respectful towards their female counterparts.

I've noticed this too on a regular basis, but not today. Earlier today a couple of guys were attacking a young girl in the Local Channel and I was trying to pull a white knight on them. Despite my valiant efforts, she was still hurt and left the chat. Poor girl. It seems like there are still cruel men and children acting like a Grendel towards the girls. I've read that in Halo some of the guys were verbally attacking the girls, but most of the girls had female groups standing together for each other. It even gained respect from some of the mature guys. I have no idea if there's a corp like that on Dust so far I know of, but I think that's what Dust needs.

any man who plays as a women must burn.....IN HELL
