View Full Version : Where are all the people?
Server pops, even the forum seems dead.
I log on everyday many times and it's just dead space. :(
[ edited ] We are all over there...in the bitchy corner. :lol:
Most of the people tought "what was that one good game", and I guess very few came to the conclusion of neocron :D

Have you looked at the server pops?
500+ on mars, 300+ merc and 200+ terra last time I did.

probably Dling porn while KK ponders the term 'damage control'
<-wondering too.
I think it was the bad publicity, the bugs, not aviable features and giving promises about this game here.
If i were interested in playing a new game like Neocron2...after reading forum a while, i would prefer another game, because so much people discusting about all these circumstances.
Took 45 mins for anyone to reply :P

Wow, 1000 People on 4 Servers..... that is not much.
Same as Neocron 1.

The game has not been properly launched outside Germany yet, and not really in Germany either...
I don't think that PC Zone cover disk is out yet... I think they are waiting until they iron out some of the worst bugs and incomplete features, while giving us the privilige of paying for this Beta.
Anyway, any time I login there are more than enough people to make the game fun... Also, you are forced to PvP more, which adds an edgy atmosphere. Just implement the features KK, I'm used to living with bugs anyway...

We can still play Neocron 1 right?
I got 8 days left!

The game hasn't been launched period....
We are playing Beta 7 after all.

Said the entomologist :D
There are less people in servers, but all the neotards got in tho, if that helps any, if there were 1% on server that still doesn't mean you can do epic without someone trying to fun-gank you, or happy-camping a quest location or something as sweet as that.
ps. does it make the game look more attractive when I use words like fun, happy and sweet when I'm talking about the games downsides?
At the moment time there are about 300 people listed online in the forums, 200 registered and 100 guests.
In the afternoon its about 50 percent more.
Lost half of saturn Population, and then screwed the rest of the population by making these stupid little rules, like you cant buy this or this, you need a symp 90 dude to do it....
then put in some stupid lic thingy ...
KK Question, how do we see the true population number instead of a percentage, and whats that of ???
Me thinks it is to disguise the true numbers ...
IE 25% means nothing to us as we dont know what 25% is of
20 runners is a true indication of how many people are on...
KK Question, how do we see the true population number instead of a percentage, and whats that of ??? It's a percentage of 1000
So 25% = 250
It's a percentage of 1000
So 25% = 250
So max is 1000 people,
given on a good days saturn was 350 - 400 and uranus was 200 - 300 then that would be 600 to 700 peeps, and we have had this mass influx of new players I fail to see how 250 - 280 players is anything to write home about .... Cant wait for the release in shops .. hopefully something will happen then
there isnt that many saturnites playing i noticed, i guess the roll back was the last straw for some of them.
the rest well C2P proberbly took care of them
I have only seen like 5 saturn players I think :(
Complaints that the forums are quiet at 7:15 AM don't hold water I'm afraid, especially when you consider that we had almost 10 thousand new user registrations in September alone. Nor do complaints that there are "only" a thousand people playing at 8:15 AM. The server population percentage has nothing to do with how many people may play on the server, btw.

Then what has the populationpercentage to do with?
Also the reason that the forum is silent at 07:15AM is cuz I haven't woken up yet by that time ;)

Remember that a good percentage of uranus and even saturn are german, just look at the mars and merc pop figures of late.
It's just a statistic. The servers have been nominally rated for a thousand people each but that won't stop them taking more.

Or *less* :D
I'll be charitable and assume that the worsening performance when 500 people are on is due to the shoddy memory and data handling client side ... for now ;)
I is sorry for the noobs I have shot ... especially the 1/2 yesterday at syncon lab ... yeah the tank , you know who you are ....
Mebbe rank should be vissible at the end of a sniper rifle, or long distance ... else noobs with LE's out are gonna die for no reason

But if the nominal number is 1000, the server % follows that, which would mean the IF (for some strange reason) server goes over 1000 people, the server would simply go 101%, right?

Sure. Why not? It's just a calculated number.

Like said.
I log on everyday many times.
Nowhere did I complain about the forum being quiet at 7:15 AM nor did I complain the server pops are low at 8:15 AM.

yup the things mentioned here did it for me and my 4 accounts :(

Mabye not, but it's the only number that really matters - who cares how many people play, it's how many people are online.
Ok 10,000 people play on this server but only 3 are online at a time o_O
Sure. Why not? It's just a calculated number.
Wow :D You guys are sure prepared for that population rush... The percentage can even calculate over 100%! Where are all these people ?
PS. I like the server populations during peak hours 200-300 people is perfect for me. If only they stayed the same off-peak so I didn't have to stop playing because I couldn't find a poke....
