Population?

Febrith Darkstar · 05-13-2008, 04:58 AM

So does anyone actually know what the current population of the game is world wide? I saw someone's guess-timate of 120K but is it really that few now

Nobody knows, SOE doesn't publish their subs and even if they did Station Pass would skew everything.

I believe this was the last release and it was over a year ago.

EverQuest II (Accuracy Rating: B)
Launched on November 8, 2004, this is the sequel to the highly successful EverQuest. Early press releases and news reports indicated that EQII had over 300,000 subscribers, as well as a statement in March 2005 that the game had “over 350,000 players logging in every week”. The number of subscribers declined substantially after that ealy peak. As of January 2007, inside sources indicate the game had approximately 200,000 total subscribers.

I think Station pass fucks up their numbers so bad that SOE doesn't even know how many subs they have. They probably think Vanguard is a success because of this.

idk, about total sub numbers but i know outside of prime time 3-11 ish pst, unrest is a fucking ghost town. It is absultly impossible to find a group outside of those hours. Granted they may not speak english, at least you could get a group 24/7 on najena.

BS, I do most my grouping from midnight - 3am. Maybe people just don't group with the Wayn during after hours...

That's why I think the servers will merge soon.

Even if there were a couple of server mergers (who knows how many), would this necessarily be a bad thing anyway? I mean if its the case that peeps cant get groups outside certain hours on a server then surely a merger would be a good thing - more local population, more flowing into the economy etc? Not sure Runnyeye needs it though as it seems a healthy enough place to be right now.

The main ppl who do not want a merge are the top end guilds who farm contested because they know that there is a good chance that they would be missed out on farming contested if that where to happen.
