I tried to find it in Steamspy to get some numbers but it doesn’t seem to be accessible yet, but to make it to the number 3 spot means it has to be pulling in some serious numbers. On the global list it is number 5. This is impressive, I never expected to find it in the top ten to be honest.
Congratulations IMC!
As it turns out a lot of people are willing to drop $50 for some ToS:)
First, the whiners are only a small part of the community. Most people don´t post much negative stuff or nothing at all. And second, the whiners will whine about many things and say they won´t buy or won´t play or such things. But in the end most of them will buy and will play.
How many guys say they quit a game every time the game recieves some changes
cough cough I never used steam before. This is the first time an MMORPG forced me to install steam. Apart from MMORPG I waste my time playing games on emulators (NES, SNES, GBA, PSX, PS2, PSP, …), so you’re right I never use steam to purchase games.
This settles it then. Literally nobody is going to play due to server load.
I had a hunch that whatever headstart the founders get, it will be spent on bugs and connection issues, but now that we are diving head first into an overload, im pretty damn sure we are suiting up for hell.
Lets hope im proven wrong. Devs still got a few days to panic and set up more servers. Considering numbers, they should REALLY and QUICKLY get to setting up EU servers.
