    Last Time I heard anything about amount of people per server,  (cant remember when or if it was here or official forums - will try and dig it up) Darktide, being the most populated, peaked around 600 peeps. I have no clue if this is true, because when I log inn now I cant see how much each server hold anymore. I might have a newish launcher.

    I can tell you that all servers are up and going, but turbine had said that a server merge arent going to happen no matter how low population goes, it is to risky. They would rather delete servers before mergeing hehe

    DT has always been the least populated of the servers.  open ended PvP isn't that popular.  Even in it's hayday DT had about 2600 while the others had around 3100.  that was back in '01 to '02 timeframe that i remember.  you can use a decal plugin called "players online" if you want to check it out.  you can find it at:

    Perhaps it's not just the number of subscriptions that makes or breaks a game. Perhaps companies need to take into account the amount of money and effort (costs) it takes to keep a game alive.

    The Devs always said that making something for AC was relatively easy. If they made a new item for AC2 it took much more time to create.

    So less Dev time, means lower cost and thus it takes less subscriptions to keep a game afloat.

    I'm sure there's more to it than just this, e.g. good will, but it's something to keep in mind.

    Played: AC, AC2, Anarchy Online, AoC, D&D Online, Dark+Light, EQ2, EVE Online, FF XI, Guild Wars, Lineage II, Lotro, Ragnarok, Ryzom, Star Wars Galaxies, Ultima Online, WAR, WoW, etc. Also various MUDs

    To hell with AC2.  Just remake AC1 with a new coat of paint.  And get some advertising out there.
