    I hate it when they try to use "registered players" as a way to tout their game.

    I'm registered for a lot of games. A lot of games I don't play because I don't like them.
    Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."

    Try the "Special Edition." 'Cause it's "Special." https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/64878/?tab=description

    im trying everything who releases... how many have stay after log in and play 2 hour or 2 days??

    i did play this game about 2 hour before remove it from my drivers lol!!!

    sound like a fail archievement to me... if they keep 2 % of theses players the game pretty failing for exemple... but they dont releases how many current active players so im guessing the game do bad.

    WoW has over 100M "registered users" - as announced by that bottom feeder Blizzard?

    Typical "nonsense" i.e. standard marketing sure. All companies do it though.

    FFXIV has 6 million registered users even though SE tries to let it slip by saying players. Big difference SE, big difference.

    I haven't played the game but congrats to them. Even if it's only "registered" users it's still an accomplishment. 

    It would be one hell of a feeling to work hard on something and know that a million people deemed it worth trying. 

    Congrats Riders of Icarus.

    PSO2 is celebrating their 4.5m registered IDs by giving us a bunch of free stuff and letting the playerbase vote for upcoming content to be added to the game. So, I'm fine with people using it as long as I get free stuff from it. :3

    it would be a better feeling if it was 1M playing customers. Having 1M registered but only 20k concurrent(number i'm pulling out of my ass) isn't anything to celebrate.

    So is this game not worth the time of downloading it and trying it? It seems that way by the above comments lol. I was wondering if anyone actually plays and enjoys this game. I usually like to see for myself, but I have played too many games that ended up being a disappointment. I have invested time and money, and I ended up quitting them. I don't want to get invested in another game that will just waste my time and money (if it's not worth it).

    Its good if you like collecting mounts and pets since you can tame almost any monster in the game. That's about it though.

    If it is a F2P how exactly are they suppose to talk about their success if not their registered accounts. I mean LoL has their own metric of monthly logins where they say millions log in but other less modest games do not have that luxury so what exactly would you crow about if anything at all. 

    I guess it is right to make fun of this registered user gauge  since any one can register and then not even play the game but if I were working to promote the game I would use this number too.

    I seriously doubt 20k concurrent players as they didn't even hit that on steam launch, and current steam numbers are below 4k.

    Sure not everyone uses steam to play this - as many just use the launcher direct and bypass steam - but still doubt that they have 20k concurrent. 
    But what does it matter right - is the game fun for you or not, that's the only real issue

    Hence the part about pulling the number out of my ass but I know where you were going with that lol.


    Tried the game, didn't like it. If someone does and it scratches that MMO itch for them then I hope it stays fair and running for a while.

    Even if they aren't retained, 1 million people is a lot of people trying out your game: congrats.
