Originally posted by Macrinus101 Well I was thinking of buying DF:UW today instead of Skyrim, I will get Skyrim during the Steam Christmas sale. Still, 300-500 online 24/7 in one of the largest game worlds in any mmo? That is not enough. Maybe some of you think there are not so many online because the world is so huge and people are spread out accross the world. Maybe there are really 1000-5000 people online 24/7.
While Steam is only a sample of the entire player base it's clear the numbers have been dropping since release.
Your money would be much better spent on Skyrim, wait for a DFUW trial.
1000-5000 concurrent players? I think not
I think 2000 total subs is more accurate guesstimate based on comments by AV employees. I don't think even the most ardent fan would say DFUW has anywhere near 5000 logged into the same server, even 1000 would be pushing it.
DF:UW will be dead once this game is released. This will also probably be free to play since it was a successful crowd funded project. It will have way more people than DF:UW, I guess I should not buy this game then. It will be dead within 2.5 years since Embers of Caerus will probably be released Q2 2016.
