    Can we please see metrics/stats on player population?

    Now that we are finally released, I want to see what our numbers are. I have not seen any response from Dev as to confirmed population data.

    Please, Dev, release numbers so we can see what kind of population is playing.

    Thank you,
    LordBlackthorne

    What’s the advantage to them as a business?

    As usual, Lord Blackthorn is trying to bring down Britannia!

    I kid, I kid. Yeah, I'd be curious to know the numbers, too.

    On that subject, last night, right before I went to bed, there were A LOT of players hanging out in the over world right near Brittany. It was kind of cool to see my whole screen filled with the names and titles of a HUGE number of people all in the same location.

    The game was just released. I think it is premature to ask for this info.

    What would be the point of this anyway?

    The game is enjoyable, so I play.

    I feel like giving this information out will just feed trolls.
    Even if the numbers are high, I am sure there would be posts twisting it into some conspiracy and more doom and gloom.

    It would make zero sense to them to actually release that info... unless it was nothing less than stellar numbers. That won't be the case. It would be interesting to know though to see how the marketing campaign went and if they can actually retain players in the long term.

    Well, since I went through the login queue three times before I left the client visible long enough to notice I was using the wrong password, and the queue was 81, 66 and 51 people deep for each queue respectively, I would venture a guess at several hundred at least? (probably not all in Online MP mode... but still).

    Sounds like a good idea - every time I've played it's been empty, looking forward to logging in tonight and see the world populated. Anyone in yet and where should I head for the crowd?

    There might be good number of people on the starter zone. However, if you can't find someone to play/chat with after 10 mins, just drop in Discord channel and find where the actions are.

    :( Why do people think anything will be different now? Marketing, PR and hearsay for this game have have been exhausted for quit a while now. Changing the front page of the website and a few banner ads do nothing for the population. I *never* see other players around, not in Central Brittany (where I have a Row house) nor in Noreach, which still has 128 of the 141 housing-lots vacant.

    The game world is completely empty exept for a few events and happenings most of which are in PoTs anyway. And I honestly blame this on horribly punishing mechanics, an unfinished and clunky UI and odd decisions that seem to have their roots in old school nostalgia? Moving around, fighting, interacting, progressing: it is all very tiresome, unfun and unrewarding. The only good thing are what some people have done with the superb housing system, and the beautiful landscapes. It is not enough.

    Are you sure you're not in private mode. ;) Seriously though I live in Brittany Wharfs and travel between the Brittany scenes daily and there's always players about, maybe your timezone is particularly quiet.

    But still, the game seems good enough for you to play it and come here share your point of view. So maybe marketing is not so useless, if people come here and have fun, with whatever they want, including the housing.

    MMOs haven't released player numbers in over a decade, if they ever did at all. Even WoW stopped and they still have millions of players.

    Please add me to your count. You won't see me as I'm actually cooking in the house I share with my dear friend. Friend who is kicking cabalists' asses, currently.

    Therefore : +2
