We have more players than GW2?

People said the same thing about SWTOR. People like to talk.



By the time I got to Hoth and Belsavis, I was lucky if I saw more than 80 people on during the peak hours. I was on Hoth a few days ago and I am currently working on Belsavis. I guess a majority of those people are quitting and leaving the game halfway through.

I will never get the this game is better then this game talk. I feel bad for people who can't play many games and enjoy them for what they are. Loving one game just to hate another game is just silly. Love all games, or don't like games, but don't hate a game just cause you love other games.

I don't know the hard numbers for either game, but GW2 is still going strong. You forget that you can transfer to other servers 1 time every 24 hours. A lot of people do this for playing with guilds they join - you can join 5 at a time, friends stuck on other servers, so they move there and back later, move servers to complete world v world map completion, etc so your server may have an influx of players on it from day to day.

The instancing of the zones well for overflow will adjust, so as more people level higher, you aren't going to see overflow until you reach 80 or around there. The lower zones are still populated, just not like it was at release.

I don't think that GW2 has lost as many as TOR has, but the game has been out shorter time than TOR.

Columbine happened in 1999. I think it's time we moved past that.

Oh. Wait ...

Anyways, I've never played Guild Wars 1 or 2.

This game seems to be doing better with its population now that its streamlined servers and gone free to play.

There can be only one!

Am I doing it right?

Anyway, GW2's population is going to fluctuate a lot due to the payment model and how their content works, very similar to their first game when you would get 4x population spikes during the holiday events. The game is meant for that kind of drop in and out playstyle. So really you can't compare it to a standard mmorpg like SWTOR, Rift, or WoW.

GW2 was boring to be honest, laying dead on ground while someone is trying to rez you all the time
in one of the "hard" events or dungeons get boring fast ! Because there is no trinity it will of course be "hard"
Hard as in bad and boring, guess what most players like to have a role, have a purpose.The only thing i really wish swtor could have that gw2 have is day/night cycles and chat bubbles.

Fans of gw2 will tell you people are still there, just in (grinding) fractals (dungeons) to get gear (in a game with no vertical progression).

Ironic since gw2 was supposed to be the genre revolution with 1-80 being the endgame etc etc


But in all seriousness no, GW2 still has more players. It has however been loosing activity faster than TOR did in the first 3 months. Take that for what you will.

Source?

Going by xfire charts in the first month alone gw2 peaked higher and ended lower

Looking at the stats today they're both pretty much at 1/10 - 1/8 of their respective peaks. One 1 year in and the other what, 3 months? Not hard to figure out which slump had to be the steeper one in the shorter time frame.

Again, take it as you will. I take it as a sign that the messiah of mmo games has yet to arrive. To the Titan party!

SWTOR seems to have a lot of players especially in starting area, fleet and first areas before level 20. Then it dies off pretty quick.

In GW 2 it seems there is more people in various areas so I assume GW2 is slightly bigger. But then again it has more servers so the spread of the people is much larger.
