     What PlaneShift needs more is not something to attract new players, is something to keep the old ones interested. Publicity and graphics might draw a crowd, but only gameplay, roleplay and a good community can keep them.
     I would rather see the 500+ players online average mark.

[...] let's all hope our devs have little things to do this Summer other then making us happy and feeling lucky :D

You guys are in for one hell of a ride ;)

She's not kidding. I can't say what's coming, but some of the stuff I've seen coming for 019 have left me - not an easy man to impress - positively gobsmacked.

Daikatana was too much hype, and a complete failure.

Realism is a better word, and there is no need for a hype either.

    This game isn't a failed commercial project like Daikatana, so it's another situation, it's not necessarily going wrong, just slow because it isn't commercial with hired devs. And finally, large optimistic hopes usually meet much larger disappointments.

400k users? Thats not correct at all, might be 200k.. :P as we all know that many users have alt accounts :P the bank must have 6-7 by herself :P anyway.. like they said.. quility over quintity is better (even if i cant spell :P) I would rather have 20 people online over 500 if they are good players/rpers.

 Of course I agree with that, what I disagree is you downplaying something potentially good. There's no need to have a overly positive attitude towards it, but having a "whatever, that's not that good" attitude doesn't help anything either, specially when, I think, the devs already got the idea that they need to expand "activities" (in lack of a better word) in order to maintain players. They're adding quests, areas, glyphs, crafting (not saying all these will come with the next release, just what we can expect and what we've seen in the last months), doesn't that prove anything? They just work relatively slow (at least they're not abandoning it), give it time.

 Oh.. yes. Give us the wipe and return to the MB migration, that'd be nice.

 But, anyway, I'm glad to hear. I've seen some pleasant additions to the the crafting system - that's mostly what I care for, so I'm already filled with "positivism".

(news taken from main site)
Few days ago we reached 400.000 registered users! This result represents a big step forward in building a great player community and having PlaneShift as a well known game. We are still working very hard on release 019 and the bugs remaining are few and related to inventory functionalities. We hope to have this fixed pretty soon. All other parts of the game have been tested and are working properly.
i think that you should be in the process of making new servers because its ridiculous for that many people on one server because it gets crowded.
