Number of Players

[Justinh Paolo]

hi, i played planeshift form 2006-2008 and have stopped already.. recently i was curious to how the game has improved after 3 years so i decided to download the game again.
can anybody tell me the number of players in this game? i dont seem to find anyone playing in-game.
has the game improved a lot?

We have an average of about 10,000 players on at any given time, except lunch time.

it says only 35 players are online,, a lot less than 10k hahaha

[Minks]

my  o.O was directed at the 10k...

It really does fluctuate depending on the time of day.. At times, there's around 30ish players, and at other time, there could be as many as 80 or 90.  I think the record for .5 is something like 98 or 99 players....

We will all mis the days of having several hundred players online, but we make do with what we've got, and honestly, you may find it's actually not too bad at all

im disappointed that they didnt improve the battle  animations though

[Caraick]

Like which ones? For instance, there's a animation specific to ranged attacks that's certainly worth watching, every race also attacks in a slightly different way with normal weapons, as well.

Also depends on which sever you are playing on, as you didnt specify, but EZPCusa generally has...10 or less
However on zeroping [laanx asyou 'may' have known it] when 'im' on it generally has 80-100 players on 30-60 towards my nighttime. i live on the west coast of the US so you can figure that out
But you'll find many many many things new to PS since the last time you've played.

WOW 50000+ accounts 200000+ characters

and about 0.034% - 0.0125% of those characters are online at any given time

Personally having any players online at a time is personal win.    To know that the stuff you are doing is interesting to at least a few people is always a good feeling.

We had 101 people on for the Winch house auction. since we went to the  0.5 client the most I have seen online is 134. The 134 happened when we had two player events going on as I remember one was a House Cheshire picnic and the second was Garosan being arrested for trying to stir up revolution against the Octarchy.

so where should i play, the role play server or the grin server?

[lilura]

do you want to roleplay? or do you want to grind and use  's in the main tab
