Peak Player Count Since July

The concurrent player count peaked at 41 in the last 24 hours. The highest it’s been since July. Have I missed something or do people just love Halloween?

Actually, it’s been higher twice since July. In the past 24 hours we also hit 54.

There has been a lot of returning players lately. :raising_hands::raising_hands: and all us lifers. Hahaha.

I will say, the player count is pretty abysmal. Saying there is a lot of returning players is a stretch. I would also question players vs alts and secondary accounts.

I track a lot of data now and have a pretty good history going for this year and there are some trends that are pretty interesting.

Maybe but I know personally that a few have returned. We ran into them in the hub and was like HOLY SMOKES! Lol!

Over the last month or 2 I’ve seen about 10 returning players if not more. And some new ones as well. Alder has been busier than it was as well most evenings. So let’s hope we’re on an upward swing.

Totally not trying to be negative, just being real here. I’m not saying new players have not returned as many have either said so on the forums and a few reached out to me also.

Overall, the player count has been about the same. Gain some lose some. We had a slight peak after the Rye video and it seems those players either quit or others did as we have remained pretty consistent in the 40-50 range. I did see a peak of 63 one day and I know the cause of that.

Seeing some of the older players returning does give me some optimism though. I am hoping that others see they are back and follow them back as well.

Totally agree. Love to have a few hundred players again.

Ah yes that is just the Steam Charts I was looking at, so that means only 13 players in the last 24 hours are PS. Interesting

Ive sort of figured out a way to track Steam vs PS, by taking the data from Steam and comparing it with the Boundless server data and the difference being PS players. Granted some players could still be on private worlds.

Ive come to realize that while we thought the playerbase was 50/50 between PC and PS, I’d say that was probably incorrect. It was probably more like 75/25 PC/PS. But the data I have is a lot more recent so hard to say.

During my interview with Rye, we went past a new house that had been built next to me. Sadly the player seemed to stop playing, as the house is now gone. :frowning:
