Given the weekly leaderboards, there are 7 days…that means in these days…6000-7000 played at least one match in game…not that there are more players actively playing it each day… prolly 1200-1700 players are active each day…Ptom is right…
Statistic based on?
Btw is six days so far, and yes not everyone is active in pvp all days. But you forgot pve, sector conquest and invasion.
Speaking of 1.0.9, I was definitely expecting 1.1.0 today, so the devs could work out the bugs before taking a holiday…, but it seems we will have a bug filled time ahead of us. Brace yourselves. The bugs are coming.
Kind of along the lines of what you guys are talking about player counts and not enough in PvP, I have to state that I play this game with my wife after work most days, and quite frankly she hates PvP… well, at least if she’s losing or even remotely in the position to lose.
I don’t know what it is, but she is so freaken competitive that we’ve practically had fights over how much she was cussing and raging in random matches, even when we were actually winning lol… so now she just plays PvE and Invasion and refuses to go into PvP 99% of the time. My point is that perhaps there ARE more players online currently, however many of them could be hiding in Invasion and PvE matches. I’m just saying that it seems like at our time (around 8-11pm -6 GMT) it takes only seconds to get into a PvE match, while it can still take over 6 minutes to get into a Tier 4/5 PvP match. We literally could not even get a single PvP match one night while in the same squad (one of those 1% moments) and sitting in a queue for a combined 20+ minutes (occasionally leaving and entering).
Truthfully, I see over half of the veterans leaving if 1.1.0 is not a MAJOR update that proves promising to Scon. And that’s not just speculation; I’ve heard many ppl discussing it. We have been promised dreadnoughts for so long now, that it’s pretty much expected in this update. Other stuff is important, too, ofc, but because the devs have hinted at this “big” update, there is much speculation, and most of the community will be VERY upset if the update is…not really that big afterall.

I have heard similar from people from four different corps but that is probably like 8 out of like the 2000 people playing this game.
