The population on dragon 32 instances in PE all with over 150 players, I guess the sky isn't falling after all, Zone chat is crazy though since the AH isn't up yet.

Curious as to to pops on MF and BH.

    Apparently no one wanted to verify this but i'm definitely done with this game, fortunately I'm not blinded by cover ups and I did passionately care for the D&D title not the companies involved in it's production, I've actually sent a email into Wizards of the Coast over this and if there's 32 completely filled servers... I assume that's normal before the problem but 4800-6000 players no where near something to "Brag" about at launch there was over 100 instances and last week into the 80's

    All games have a drop off after launch. No mmo (other than wow) keeps their entire starting population or close to it. Name a single mmo that has and I'll post proof that it didn't. There's always a massive drop off after people try out the game especially one that's free. 4800 players is quite a bit for ONE server to have on at any existing time. No mmo has their "ENTIRE" game population on at once. People live in different time zones, get on at different times, some people play for 2 hours and log off before others do the same thing.

    yeah just a coincidence that it went from 80 to 30 with all the problems and yesterday people bragged about 12?
    Coincidence bro... No one cares about the longevity and health of this product which is why they're against fixing it if it causes them to do some additional work... It's a shame, was actually a fun game and I hope many games hijack their combat system and function there's the exact same... it was truly a blast but I can never support a business that values a $ over possible refunds over saying we made a mistake.... even though we said this... we love our game and want everyone to have a balanced experience.

    Then again people made a decent argument someone could spend 7,000$ in Zen and recreate a imbalance and I guess that is actually true... very unlikely but very true... someone could.

    Yes it did drop after the exploit but that has to do with bad word of mouth etc. There's people who literally believe the trolls and have stopped playing. People who honestly believe the current economy is broken but don't understand what an economy is. There isn't massive inflation. Astral diamonds still maintain their worth. A single piece of gear doesn't cost 250-1000 dollars. Look at D3. THAT is a broken economy.

    People are all freaking out about a myth.

    At release Champions Online used to have 120 instances of its main zone with at least 75 persons in each, most reaching the 100 cap. 2 months later there was only 30 of them, with maybe half of them full.

    I hope it'll goes differently for this game but it'll depend on what kind of support Cryptic gives to it.

    Mindflayer seems as populated today as it was Saturday, maybe a bit less.

    If you have proof of the myth even though it is a fact the exploit existed since open beta started and it is a fact the exploit existed many months ago in STO and anyone who knew about it and also played NWO would of course known to try it... other than those facts... if you have evidence showing Cryptic fixed everything please share it... I'd love to trust this game again but there is no evidence... it's just blind faith.

    Lol so you sent an email to someone who has nothing to do with the game, other than the title being D&D

    a "cheer up the population is fine" thread...
    in a F2P game...
    not even 1 month after release...

    holy jesus, this has to be a world record, in 15 years of online playing I have never seen such a sad attempt at damage control from a fanboi...and the game is basically given away for free LOL.
    I have seen this kind of threads in P2P games before, usually after the 3 to 6 months mark...in a F2P game? AFTER ONE MONTH? no sir no

    this sure escalated quickly. looks like some people are getting insanely nervous and desperate out there :rolleyes:

    There are people that just like to play the game, for fun. Since people enjoy all kinds of different fun. Not to be troubled if some "game economy" takes a nose dive. Probably it's just selected few that are mortally wounded of catflood...

    It's kind of hard to have fun while not using AD at all.
    Problems in the game economy DO affect most people, but it remains to be shown that NW economy is in such a state.

    Fear mongering also makes things escalate quite quickly. (so does trolling, unless such parties are wise enough to ignore)
