Number of Players / Popularity

[rpgaction]

I somehow only recently found out about this mod, and naturally I have some questions. Sorry if you have answered them all before. Please don't yell at me.

First, exactly how popular is the game? How many servers are up and packed at any given time?

Since launch, has the game population only increased? Is there a steady influx of people, or is it a more fixed user base, possibly even decreasing? If it has been increasing, is this game really expected to ever become, I don't know, the next CS? Is it likely to ever surpass base BF2 in user base?

Probably not likely to pass bf2 in base. But we steadily grow with each release, and there is always a few good servers to play on but not as packed as say DC. But play it and im sure you'll grow attached or hate it b/c of the learning curve.

list of all the PR servers and how many players are playing in each one

mod pop goes up with every release, as we attract more and more players, after each release are pop slowley goes down but at the moment its fixed above a 500 player peak every night which makes us the most popular BF2 mod around

max peak was 1200 players online concurrently....

and yea every release our population has at least doubled...

acturly fuzz our top player peak was 1.08k which aint the highest for a bf2 mod, but we have the best loyal fan base of any mod

I go away for 20 minutes and come back to find half the development team answering me.

Well it sounds like it'll be pretty doable because I only usually play on 2-3 regular servers anyway, whatever the game. Thanks for the replies, it's nice to know the devs are in touch with the community in any case.

mods would be much more popular if bf2 didn't have a stats system. completely killed all mods.

You could argue it's almost too popular because of the number of morons you can get.

I second that. I come from the old school Battlefield, back in the days of BF1942, Desert Combat, BF Vietnam...Back then, BF was all about gameplay and fun.


I have a few friends who are very new to the BF series, and all they care about are stats and ranks...It's rather annoying. When I showed them PR, all they did was whine about how difficult it was.

Wow, do I miss those old days of BF when there were tons of active mods at the quality level of PR...
