Gabby...I'm with you on almost everything, and I'm not an Alganon fan, but how did you get a 1k figure for this? 1k based on your estimate? No MMO I've ever heard of has released subscription figures except to note something like "More than X million subs" etc. Just curious...
I think you can get some number off Myalganon...the facebook or whatever they come up with. You can search by character class, and some other limits..A few search and number crunching would tell you roughly how many are subbed to the game.
Also, I think it will show you every characters that is ever created since launch and alts as well. So you have to take the total number after the search and make a judgment on how many are in one account and account that is no longer active.

I saw a post not to long ago that did show less than 1000 characters made on both servers combined. Assuming most rolled a alt of some sort its a ugly number. With the trial up now it may be skewed at this point.
@ lancelot: Yeh this, i believe someone did some finding and found unique accounts to be around 700 or something again im not fully sure. Plus it's pretty obvious that they had a very low population throughout beta and after release forum activity was simply dead besides problem threads.
While those three facts do sound good, a game with a pop that low will more then likely be no fun to play. Might as well play a single player game...lol

Well that is essentially what you get is a single player version of WoW.
You know Alganon could have easily fixed things WoW did wrong, by adding a less structured world, player housing and creating an alternative to end game raiding/pvping.
They just took the easy route, added a in game wiki and a study system to wow, took out the pvp, dungeons, classes, races, and any reason to group. It is a single player WoW, that is the only way to describe it.
MyAlganon lists total membership accounts made since game went live. But trial server means you don't know if those membership accounts are subscribing anymore. In-game statistics show active playerbase of 70 on Adrios. 40 active on Hokk.

Welcome to Vanguard about 5 months after launch when most of the haters quit in disgust and only a few fans stayed at the time.
Grouping in Old school mmo's: meeting someone at the bar and chatting, getting to know them before jumping into bed. Current mmo's grouping: tinder. swipe, hookup, hope you don't get herpes, never see them again.
Numbers are light for sure, but I even bumped into quite a few people during Xmas Day. During normal peak time, there is always signs of light traffic out in the countryside and the cites seem to have a constant flow of people.
Never really feel alone like I did in for example AC or EQ a while back.

Wrong.
There are plenty of other MMORPGS that really feel empty compared to Alganon.
Any time I really need to grp with someone to take a Elite out, I find someone within 1 to 2 mins.
There seems to always be someone on from the guild.
I clearly feel the presence of other player in game and actually having the server packed out would spoil it.

Turn off your guild chat for a few hours. What's that you hear? The sound of silence!
I'm not playing the same game you are cuz Adrios is dead, DEAD. Never more than 70 players total on at a time. The quiet times are deadly quiet with only 20 players around at most. Prime time lasts from 8pm to 10pm EDT.
Praetalus is right. This game's single player all the way baby!

lol i loved too see someone who create a new account to defend this game... The only thing who come to my mind is why the hell dev are you losing you time here? you should be working on fixing the game no? Oh well maibe this is surely useless...
I am on Adrios server. Cannot give you exact numbers, only what I see. Numbers are light for sure, but I even bumped into quite a few people during Xmas Day. During normal peak time, there is always signs of light traffic out in the countryside and the cites seem to have a constant flow of people. Never really feel alone like I did in for example AC or EQ a while back. Server are not dead and that is a fact.
Fantastic, since you can't give exact numbers we all know you are a straight out liar. Try doing a /who, take a screen shot and back up your words. Of course, you won't , that would be too hard and spoil your lie. Of course when the world is 4 whole zones big, you are bound to run into someone.

If you're talking about these games during their prime, you are full of it.
If you are talking recently, you do know that you are comparing a newly released game to games that are over 10 years old. I mean the "this game is good because it has a better population than 10 year old games" argument isn't really a good one.
You n00b account pushers and defenders really should give it up. Forums like these are the last place you will find any sympathy or converts, and most see your BS marketing campaigns for what they are.

I will assume reading comprehension isn't exactly up your ally is it? Outside of being a troll that is.
Never once did the poster you quoted mention that people don't come to these forums for information, he stated that you aren't likely to find sympathy for a marketing scheme -- and he is correct.

I'm not sure if that is directed at me or not but what am I being bitter and cynical about?
Where did I suggest that people do not lurk here for info before playing a game?
The poster I was reponding to made their account today and has done nothing but claim how wonderful Alganon is despite evidence to the contrary. Check their post history and I think you'll find it as peculiar as others have. I have nothing against someone going against the grain of the like/dislike debate, but to state complete mis-truths about the game so another person can get suckered into this game I will not give a pass to.

Emphasized for delicious irony. He isn't right though. Games get pimped through grassroots promotion on this site all the time. It's been effective for games like VG.

VG huh? Yeah, that game is doing great right now. Or did you mean the same VG that has put all production for the next year on hold INDEFINITELY because they don't have the staff to do anything more than fix bugs?
BTW, spelling of grammar and reading comprehension are two different things so there's actually no irony there at all.

You're possibly right and I was definately too harsh in my post - sorry mate. I get a little tired of new account bashing on forums, it rarely is an indication of quality. I really don't care if someone registered on some website 3 years ago or 2 weeks ago. This really just seems like a guy giving his opinion on a game though

Sure!
Unfortunately too as it was a good game at it's core. Had it realized it's full potential it would have been phenominal.

I was talking to my friend today about Alganon. He happens to mention something beneficial about playing Alganon that I never thought of.
1. There will be no bots!! It is just not worse the effort to make one for this game.
2. There will be no gold farmers!!! ( same reason as above )
3. There will never be a login queue!!!
While those three facts do sound good, a game with a pop that low will more then likely be no fun to play. Might as well play a single player game...lol

I have nothing against someone going against the grain of the like/dislike debate, but to state complete mis-truths about the game so another person can get suckered into this game I will not give a pass to.

If you're talking about these games during their prime, you are full of it.
If you are talking recently, you do know that you are comparing a newly released game to games that are over 10 years old. I mean the "this game is good because it has a better population than 10 year old games" argument isn't really a good one.
You n00b account pushers and defenders really should give it up. Forums like these are the last place you will find any sympathy or converts, and most see your BS marketing campaigns for what they are.
I know being bitter and cynical is the easy street to becomming a cool guy and fun at parties but that's a pretty stupid statement. You honestly think people don't come to game forums on MMORPG.com to find out infomation on games they're not yet playing? That's retarded.
I will assume reading comprehension isn't exactly up your ally is it? Outside of being a troll that is.
Never once did the poster you quoted mention that people don't come to these forums for information, he stated that you aren't likely to find sympathy for a marketing scheme -- and he is correct.
Next time read and think before posting.
Emphasized for delicious irony. He isn't right though. Games get pimped through grassroots promotion on this site all the time. It's been effective for games like VG.

VG huh? Yeah, that game is doing great right now. Or did you mean the same VG that has put all production for the next year on hold INDEFINITELY because they don't have the staff to do anything more than fix bugs?
BTW, spelling of grammar and reading comprehension are two different things so there's actually no irony there at all.

I'm not sure if that is directed at me or not but what am I being bitter and cynical about?
Where did I suggest that people do not lurk here for info before playing a game?

You're possibly right and I was definately too harsh in my post - sorry mate. I get a little tired of new account bashing on forums, it rarely is an indication of quality. I really don't care if someone registered on some website 3 years ago or 2 weeks ago. This really just seems like a guy giving his opinion on a game though

Edit to be nice, You're right.
VG has seen surges thanks to grassroots campaigns for sure. It didn't save the game, no.

Did I win that time?
VG has seen surges through grassroots campaigns definately. It didn't save the game, no.
Sure!
Unfortunately too as it was a good game at it's core. Had it realized it's full potential it would have been phenominal.
