I was thinking of...

Hmm, I was thinking of doing the trial, but I have a question, I had played on my friend's game a few times before but that was awhile ago, maybe about a 2 or 3 years ago. Back at that time there didn't seem to be much people. My question is: Has there been a population growth? What is the current population? Even if there isn't a major amount of people, is there still enough where the game can still be played with lots of fun?

It's been a day or two and no one? Either my question was answered and no one plays this game, or everyone is too busy actually playing the game.
Just try it out, its not a very big download. Playerbase is up and down a bit dependending on what timezone your on and what state the current campaign is in. The game has enough players for fun action in my opinion.
More than enought to support major battles along the front. Early morning US times might be one major battle. Area of Operations..the ablility to assigned attack orders on a town is a function of pop on the server. Fewer people, fewer AOs. AOs, are designed to concentrate players. I think you will be surprised at the changes that have happened since you last played. A new version 1.30 is in open beta on beta server so pops may be lower than usual. 1.30 has some new things, but it completes the deep code rewrite needed to begin to add bells and whistles. Lot of code is from 2000 and that havd to be rewritten without breaking existing stuff. CRS is always updating.
Its not loads of people but although the map is HUGE, its only 1 server and considering the fact that most of the time only 8 towns or so are capturable, the players are pulled to each other.
depends if the axis are pouting or if crs sent a memo to the leaders to adjust the map. LOL j/k maybe
it was always hit and miss. sometimes busy, sometimes not. it usually gets a little thin when you are winning really badly and then all of a sudden you can't kill tanks with atgs, shoot down enemy a/c with anti air guns, and inf run through your lmg rounds. those times suck. almost like a switch is thrown. weird stuff in the virtual world.
does this stuff happen in other games to? not saying it really is planned but sometimes a side balance act seems to happen out of no where.
