Population Discussion

Personally I loved the population at release.  There was people everywhere.  I mainly stayed in Meduli because my guild was aligned with 13 and I would get a discount on goods.  Meduli was a bustling market place with a well maintained security force.  There would be anywhere from 50- over 100 people in town almost all the time.

 

I last played almost 2 weeks ago.  And I would see at max during NA primetime in meduli 15 and that was a good time.  Usually it hovered at 5 to 10 and some of those people where naked not moving for long periods of time,  So I will assume they were storage accounts.  ( I had one)   I had to wait for long periods of time trying to find weapons or armor.  At release there was long lines at the Meduli blacksmith with at least 10 armor smith?weapon smiths working.  It was nice because you could haggle between them and get a good deal.  When I last played I would go from Fab to Meduli and see maybe 2-3 people and I was not taking one of my stealthy routes.  At release going from fab to Meduli was a crazy highway of people.

 

I do not understand people in the thread that did not like the pop at release.  Saying it was too many people???  If you listen to Henrik they need 15,000 subs just to break even...  Imagine that many people on the server.  It would be like being at a club on topless girl night.

15,000 to break even? I wonder how many they have right now. Tabula Rasa was dead empty when it died, and reportedly still had 20,000 subscribers, although you wouldn't know it by looking at the world, much smaller than Mortal Online's.

The 15,000 is not a very high amount if you consider that maybe only 20% of the subscribers would be on at any given time.  That would be 3k... even DAoC currently has regular concurrent players of 3k on a daily basis.

 

Of course.. if you listen to Henrick I believe he said MO can now handle 27,000 concurrent users.

Call me pessimist, but considering server stability, I somehow doubt that.

Theres no way they have 15k. There forums have what, ~100 users concurrently?
