UOG: Demise

Vash wrote: ↑May 12th, 2021, 5:51 pm So, I have decided to come back to demise like many other times over the last 12 years. I'm curious if with changes I have heard about, do we need to worry about the servers going down permanently or is there a steady stream of players still coming back in short bursts?

I know we have many bots on the server which isn't ideal but fine with such low true player count. If anyone took a real guess, how many active players do we still have on the server and of those active, how many are pvp vs pme?

Thanks for reading and hope to get some decent responses!

i would guess at about 200 active users in the offpeak, with another 400 odd that have characters waiting for events.
then about 1000 that have made accounts but dont play, intending to at some point.

probably like 10k accounts overall.

just guessing tho.

------------
halloween you will get the full 500-600 proper players logging in with mutiple accounts.
it's only quiet now because there's not much for the hardcore people to get.

but you are talking about a game people have played on and off for over 10 years, you cant expect them to be on every day.
they are very much still playing the game, just casually while there's no events on.

i was playing that conquerers blade for a couple of months, but as soon as i stopped playing it, everything kinda fell apart, lost the season/battle pass progress, daily unlocks, etc. i dont think i'll go back to it much beyond playing the deathmatches. uo's not like that, you can take massive breaks and come back like you were there yesterday.

i've suggested things lke daily quests and stuff to keep people playing on like an hour to hour bases, keep them hooked kinda thing. but honestly, it might not be a good idea, cos im kinda resenting having lost the time on CB. very addictive in the short term, but it maybe sabotages the long term goals.
