Your honest predictions for the population trend following F2P release

General Discussion
#1

Steamspy has the peak concurrent population at 15,535 as of yesterday.

F2P will undoubtedly inflate this some, but judging by the less than optimal first month of early access, I foresee issues.

I believe there is no distinction between early access and F2P in whether the player base will be easily dissatisfied by some of the design choices, server stability, and poor service from IMC in general.

I predict that number may inflate by ~10,000 somewhere in the first week as it’s free to download and anyone who wanted badly enough to play it probably did buy a founder’s pack, so I’m not expecting something absurd like a 200% increase. Following the first month, I foresee a drop off to even further than the current ~15k concurrent peaks we have now.

After 2 months I would not be surprised if the game is pushing single digit thousands of concurrent players (which means ghost towns on off hours for most servers and locations in the game world).

It’s a real shame to have seen such a little gem fall so hard from grace.

It’s not about real people.
It’s about bot swarm.

I just imagined this in Kerrigan’s voice…

Lol. Its ok, if iRO still manages to has players then I’m p.sure this game will do just fine.

I actually agree with you.I do expect issues logging on when the day comes,and maybe even the day after that,but I think they’ll handle that just as badly as everything else and it’ll cause a lot of drop off.That and the normal mass of people who were expecting it to be better/like another game/etc.

I expect the forums to be even messier the first week than usual,and I think the drop off will be slower after that first week and people get a better feel for the game.But yes,it definitely won’t be as grand as they were hoping.Poor choices and mismanagement have really taken their toll out on this game,which is breaking my heart to see.

I seriously hope I’m wrong and they turn it around against all odds,though.Either way,I’ll stick around and see where this goes.

My funny aside, I agree with everything and we’ll probably get more than 10k at best, but IMC isn’t just going sit there and let it drop dead like how Gravity did to RO2 on F2P release; “We’ll be going on a vacation, hope nothing goes wrong!!”

…A lot of things happened…bad things…

So the only thing we can really do is hope IMC has a plan when the landslide comes. That or pray to Gaben.

Looks like I’ll have to bring out the big guns when F2P arrives.
The Forums is my battlefield and sanctuary, I will not let it be consumed by the plagues of hypocrisy!!

I foresee chaos and, by definition, chaos is very hard to predict.
