is this game still popular in terms of player base??
player numbers
@wallace6532 [mod edit]
Rare won't release numbers so you know as little as the rest of us.
@Deckhands close this out.
@wallace6532 sagte in player numbers:
@bugaboo-bill so 61,716 players on at one time?
Within 24h playing an Instrument at least.
We have no official numbers.
My guess is the games pop is completely fine.
There are times of less activity, but normally servers are full.
With only 6 Ships / crews per server you barely notice if 100k are playing simultaneously or only 25k or even 1000 players only.@wallace6532 sagte in player numbers:
ouch I just got the game today why are you so rude?
There is tons of knowledge outside you maybe want to know how the game works.
If you just started playing i want to give you 3 important Tips to not get sour.- Keep allways an eye on the horizon!
- Dont trust anybody!
- Turn in often if you dont want to loose loot.
The game / other players can be unforgiving and "destroy hours of effort" to use gamer slang.
Another advice, 2nd progression, this game is not about progression really, but to #bemorepirate 😉
@wallace6532 sagte in player numbers:
how many players a session?
6-24
It's 6 Ships from sloop 1-2 players
To Galleone, up to 4 players.
So it can be 6 solo Sloops to 6 full manned Galleones and all in between.@wallace6532 said in player numbers:
wait a server isn't more than 2players?
A server can be up to 24 players.
6 ship max. Assuming all ships are Galleons (4 players each) can be anywhere from 2 individuals to 6 teams of 4 (24 ppl) seeing as I have not been merged a lot lately (plays between 12 and 4am est) I would assume most servers have at least 2 ppl playing.Again. Rare won't release details about player base. Why is this so important to you? Trying to monetize a stream?
@pithyrumble nah just wondering if the game is alive bcoz I recently remembered this game existed and I decided to get it
@pithyrumble sagte in player numbers:
At least 2. If there are less than 2 players on a server you will get merged when you slow down. They also won't release the new server merge rules. 🤷🏽♀️
Do you know when a server merge happens?
Afaik if less than 2 Ships/ crews were on a server you get merged into a new server (you wont lost any session progress).So i have to correct my post above.
Maybe only 2 solo sloopers on a server.
So 2 -24 players.
But from my experience it's completely fine i regularly see other ships.@pithyrumble sagte in player numbers:
Put your Reaper's Mark up and sail to the Fort of the Damned. Better yet, activate it and see how lively it can be lol.
Haha, lol.

But from my experience it's completely fine i regularly see other ships.They didn't tell us the new server merge rules. I figure it only merged me when I dropped anchor and was the only one still on a server under the old rules. (Could get my own private pve server like that btw...) They won't give details out on the new rules to keep pve players like me in pvp areas.
Jerks.
If you were alone on a server and didnt drop anchor to not get merged you still dont know others joining the server, or?
Pve only is only possible even all 6 Ships ally and keep it pve only.
@wallace6532 said in player numbers:
I own the game since its 22euro. Idk what I was reading but u saw a site with a player graph showing 2million players
Probably not at the same time, but day to day logins and such.
Like I said. At least 2 ppl per server. No telling how many active servers. 🤷🏽♀️

A risk. A calculated risk mind you. There could be a 5 ship alliance across the map, but if I didn't see anyone in the last 5 minutes I'd be damned if I dropped my anchor. I did not know if someone joined my server. I'd assume intelligent server maintenance would add one to mine since I was all alone and Rare wants "emergent" gameplay and player interaction.

Just play and see others coming for you 😁
Some will one day for sure 😉
@wallace6532 said in player numbers:
I wish we could know. 2ppl in one server is quite low tbh
It's been suggested to have a player count, but it's never gained traction. Keeping us on our toes as it were.
Technical limitations keep it to 6 ships per server as I understand.
Personally I don't care for the pvp aspect so it doesn't bother me. If you really wanna fight others (more power to ya) seriously, look up how to activate Fotress of the Damned, put up your Reaper's Mark flag and go hang out nearby. The game puts a huge red eyed skull cloud above it like a beacon and the desperate and the try hards will come flocking to fight you for it lol.

Whats your playstyle, what ate you looking for?
If pve, you agree lucky nobody shows up.
If you are active PvPer go to the FotD or just sail around search prey and learn how to get booty.
If mixed, just sail around, do whatever you like.
To me the player interaction is fairly balanced.

This lol.
I play 3-6 hours a session. Not usually on purpose. Sometimes it's a peaceful day of sailing and adventure. Other times its spent running and hiding.@bugaboo-bill said in player numbers:

When players join the server the lightning strike the top of the gliff, a little north-west from snake island@greencamillion1 sagte in player numbers:

And Hunter of the Shrouded Ghost.
If you wanna find one you have to dance at full moon on a special island with Reaper's flag hoisted and an Athena right in front of you.
The island is....
😂😂😂@bugaboo-bill Well founder or not, like that gonna hold you any higher regarding to knolege, it's the truth.
you can believe me or just dismiss it.many will never notice it, because you have to somewhat close to get the sound from the lightning, but even from afar, you will see lightning strike the top.
It was not to say that you can use it as reliable way to know how many is on the server, unless you just wanna set camp an do nothing but stay an look.
But as a Founder you should know that the ferry of the damned is located just under the same cliff/rock Im talking about.
So how about you go check it out, before you Ironic make fun of what I say.Good winds
