    Posting screen shots of the server population at early AM hours is very deceptive to say the least.  Seeing what the game looks like around 7-9pm local times would be a better indication, but It is a little to early to say the game is healthy or dead right now anyway.  Also considering how screwed up the preorders went and people/stores getting the box so late.

    the whocount only represents your faction not the others...so if they are lookimg for 2000 players max for a mid  day dount that is not bad.

  • miagisanmiagisan Member Posts: 5,156

    so if you do a /whocount and you get 344 players, and you are british, thats 344 players in the british nation who are on atm

    There was some moderation work done on this thread, even including a lock-down, but the thread was reopened.

     

    Concur with Gyrus.

     

    Would like to know if someone will provide a screenshot of the servers, say around the 8pm to 10pm (2000 to 2200) EST mark?  To get an idea of a mid-week snapshot.

    And that is why...

    Conservatives' pessimism is conducive to their happiness in three ways. First, they are rarely surprised -- they are right more often than not about the course of events. Second, when they are wrong they are happy to be so. Third, because pessimistic conservatives put not their faith in princes -- government -- they accept that happiness is a function of fending for oneself. They believe that happiness is an activity -- it is inseparable from the pursuit of happiness.

    No.  I was commenting on the "This thread should be locked!" tactic.  I like discussion.



    What was it?: "I do not like what you say... but I will defend to the death your right to say it?"

    (Yeah - terrible misquote)

    Nothing says irony like spelling ideot wrong.

    Think that "This thread should be locked!" got Bafu banned. Or he would be here doing his revolution hehe.

    Someone post a picture at the right time.

    if that is indeed /whocount your own nation,those figures look fine to me.Especially considering potbs is an independant title with little advertising and still not out of the gate on many major review sites. Its amazing how people say

    "WoW has 10 million players? so what. The number of people playing has nothing to do with how good a game is!!11"

    ...yet they will bash any game that doesnt have 8000 people playing at once and deem it a failure....If a games good people will continue to play,and the playerbase will slowly grow.If its crap,incomplete and full of bugs they will leave.At least give pirates a month before starting "the sky is falling,oh joy!" topics.

    This is normal. It's like people write about David Beckhams size on his balls when they first see them on pictures. 

    Are they big or small... bla bla bla.

    Populations are on the rise from the absolute vacant wasteland (all things considered) the game was those first couple days.  But going from very light to mostly light is still not a solution to the population problem.  There are 10 servers - when busiest 3 have healthy pops and a couple OK to sorta light populations while a good half half light populations.  At just off peak mostly 2/3rds of the factions across the servers are light.

     

    Population is better than the few days but still, overall, very unhealthy and light.

    Well its Friday and that means another week to show the progress of title.

    This is the prime day (2nd Week) for Protagonists and Antagonists of PotBS to show how good, poor, or fair PotBS is sailing.

    Just provide a screenshot of the server populations and provide the time.

    And that is why...

    "Print Screen" is the name.

    I was going to post a picture but I did a uninstall of the game and now for some reason it takes 6 hours to update the game...

    How about someone else then Bafu post a picture. If he was wrong then I don't see any problem posting one.

    I think he's suggesting to post some from prime weekend time as well, as some people are interested in the progression of the population.

    Ok, I forgot it is friday. But I would guess that it is not as (if) "improved" as over the last weekend.
