I remember when I first joined SS2 there was a player counter (It showed how many players have sign up to the game. But it was removed and in it's place was an online player counter...Which I think is stupid (thats my opinion) because you can click on the online players and see who is online...just look and see how many players can be listed on 1page and multiply that by the numbers of pages...it's not that hard...and it's not rocket science either....I would like to have the overall player counter back so we can see how many players have signed up to SS2 and/or FS...

I don't think it should come back but I think it should be viewable at the bottom of the online players page or somewhere convienent. It would be cool to see just how many players are joining each day

And then compare the 500,000 players or so having signed up with the 100 people online and get sad..

I said no because the number of registered players in no way reflects the amount of active players

Agreed.

It encourages multis. That's the perceived view by HCS from history in FS as I understand it. Special events were held giving double xp and gold/credits when registered player count reached xx million players .

We have yet to see anything special like that in Sigma. Btw, what does the registered player count accomplish?

Nothing new and no content left = an uber dull game for me.

Waiting, waiting and more waiting... 1 month is a looong time when the game is only 8 months old.

Apologies for the negative viewpoints :!:

Although I'm curious as to how many people are registered, it doesn't help the gameplay to know that. It IS helpful to see how many/who is online right now, especially if you're looking for buffs, or in a pvp zone, elite hunting or some such.

BTW, what's the highest number online that you've seen?
I once saw 507 players online.

Whatever the highest was, it can be said without any doubt the number is decreasing...

I don't ever remember the number being above 1000. The highest I recall was in the 600s.

HCS could tell us but why further discourage players?

I think it averages around 200-220 , i know from myself though that i am on and off from my office PC and at home so the number does not completely reflect the people online...It should increase after content is released, i remember it did when int stims were introduced and when the much advertised(rightfully) 90-100 content was out
