I hope it stays that way and grows and there will be things done to help this game and community growing and happy.
Agree, all i see is yet another very misleading comment from NW, there is no way you can tell how many 'unique' players this game as got,
I for one have 3 accounts, one each shard, and i am pretty sure you will be counting them as 3 'unique' players lol
As for actual palyers in the game that actualy do play, the game at presant is dead compared to what it was like 2 months ago that is a fact.
Take my guild, it has over 600 members, and checking the roster for this week, you will find only 4 players have logged in the past 7 days , and 2 of those were my characters. 2 months ago we always had 50+ people online.
2 million is obviously the unique accounts that have been made since the game went online, it does not mean those accounts were actualy used by people to play
Also liking again how the clips of boss fights don't show the endless legions of adds that spawn...

And why is it all the quotes in the trailer with the exception of MMORPG.com from people I've never heard of or how they are just the little fish? Sounds like desperation to get people to try the game to me.
If the game is not already dead EQN will demolish this game as it will be F2P and will be of spectacular quality while NW is just a fail and an IP cash grab. Saying NW is mediocre at best would be too kind for NW.
Good Job NW team! Great news for a great game.
LOL seriously, are you trolling ?
you obviously were not playing a couple of months ago, i would be very suprised if there was even 30% of the amount of players there was 2 or 3 months ago.
Added to that I wonder were nearly 600 members of my guild have mysteriously vanished too over the past 2 months too, They are all still in the guild, the roster shows 643 members, and since around a months ago there as only ever been 10 of them who have actualy logged on, and 2 of those are mine !
You have got to remember too that EVERY zone is split into small sub instances, so somtimes Protectors Enclave may look busy which is all due to there being less instances open, same with every zone, they may look busy but its all due to more players bing zoned into a less amount of instances.
So you obviously dont understand the zoned instance system in this game for a start
I have seen zones like Rothe Vally only having 6 instances open, some with only 3 or 4 people in them, and the 'busy' ones with maybe 15 to 20, and thats world wide !
So i guess a good question would be Were are all these 2 million 'unique' players hiding ?
Congratulations to the Neverwinter team! Great job, great game - keep the content, bug fixes, and events coming!!
Exactly. It is obvious to those of us that actually play the game. The server is busier than ever. I believe 2 Million is a very conservative number.
So your saying those that differ opinion from yours actualy dont play the game? Interesting.....but I guess their accounts are counted in as 'unique players'.. Yes
I do play the game and on quite a number of diferent characters too, and i play regularly at both EU and US prime times, (i am UK based) I have played since the open beta weekends, And with out a doubt i can say there is deffinatly less online than there was one or two months ago.
This is taking into account the 'instance system' used on all zones withing the server / shards
And again i will exsplain, when you log in and into a zone, you are not on the 'server' per'se you are actualy in a sub instance in a sub zone on the server. each zone as multiple 'sub instances' so primaly when there are a high volume of players online, more instances can be made available to 'spread' people out and keep a average amount on each zone so as to not be overcrowded or under populated also.
The opposite also happens, when there are very few numbers online, they will be grouped onto less instances, again to maintain a balance. So what you actually visualy see playerwise in any zone is not and can not be used as a base for stating how busy the game is.
Plus this does not account for Dungeons, Skermishes, Foundrys and PvP as they are all in there own diferent instances.
If this game was 'Open world' then and only then could you use your very basic method to attain a 'rough' idea of actual players online.
I find this whole thread to be very interesting, and i find great interest in quite alot of these types of posts recently, I actually work in the Gaming media industry so have a personal interest in what people do think and how things are working out with new gaming ideas etc.
One thing i did notice straight away was the amount of threads, some of which with very valid contents, are just left to 'run wild'
and there is very liitle to no feedback actually ever given officialy, even posters whom just want advise only ever seem to get advise from other players, there is never 'official' statements given, some threads just recieve vague replys from 'Moderators' with usualy a link to customer services or the official 'Tech' forums.
BTW that 300k is being very very generous....and that number is dropping each and every day!
