if their server can TRULY handle 10k concurrent users, using the rule of thumb that during peak hours 20% of the player base is playing, then simple math would dictate you cannot have more than 50k subs. so whoever said that 175k-200k needs to seriously recheck his numbers.
10-12k is my guesstimate atm
Again, miagisan, we are on the same page. 10-12k would be my best guesstimate, as well. Especially, knowing the server capacity and that there is only one. I think, right now, the peak numbers may be a bit more than 20%, though, being that it is new.
there are some other servers up actually.
uh huh....what are you smoking.....there is only 1 official server cluster....thats it.
this game have no subscribers wee all play the free month
Technically you are quite correct, your not a subscriber at this point in time, however you have all paid 42 euros and in some cases more for the digital download, so your classed as a customer atm.
And they are banning people from playing so they can offer 10 more slots. What a joke.
Oh I believe they have more than 10k accounts in the game now, if the queueing that ppl are complaining about is anything to go by it would appear that DF is actually getting more ppl online at once than they really allowed for, it's probably working along the lines of 1 person logs in only when 1 perosn logs out.
However I hope for those that are currently enjoying DF that this isn;t the case and that the system is just readjusting itself to the extra customers, teething problems are not uncommon when a server exceeds it's capacity.
I'm willing to bet that the subscription numbers, at this point in time, are around 15k to 25k. Subscription numbers are higher than peak game numbers because not everyone is playing 24/7, they play much less than that. Some of the more accepted numbers say that about 20% of the subscription number would be ingame on average. Early numbers suggest that there were 5k people on at once in Darkfall, but the developers have said that their game can handle upto 10k users. Currently, they are capping sales and such so I'm thinking that the number resides between 5k and 10k. However, due ot the game being new you couldn't say between 25k and 50k because people will tend to play the game alot more and thus you'd have more people overlapping and on at the same time. I'm willing to bet the game has at least 15k and probably resides around 20 to 25k subscribers. They really need to get another server up and running, get more people going because i think this game could have a solid shot at 75k to 100k subscribers (plenty enough to be considered a highly successful MMO).
I'll take that bet...!
Darkfall has no more than 8k players atm...! With max online about 5,500..! Early numbers indicated there was roughly 3,500 players online... with 3 post release sales of approximatly 500 each..!
There will NEVER be another server... that fact you are suggeating it, indicates your ignorance!

Of course there will be another server. AV likes money, why wouldn't they put another one up? Especially with such a huge demand for the game. People are sitting in multi hour queues just for a chance to play. People have participated in the horrible account procedure for a chance to play. The game is great, beta was a blast, they just need to get these servers up so this game can reign supreme.

I don't even think they have 10k people.

Which does raise the question...
How many think that the monthly billing process will go off without a hitch?
Heh, I've been sitting back waiting for someone to bring this up.
Without a hitch? Zero chance. Just wait till people start getting massively overbilled.
The DF drama hasn't ended, its only just begun.
I'll take that bet...!

ha! a troll talking about ignorance, how amusing...
of course there will be another server... the only way there won't be is if they scale up the current server cluster the same way EVE did.
