ooohhhhhh 2 big posts I like that.
uhmm no. decreasing rate had been slowed because off a reasonble increase of new players. For some odd reason I like to look at the number of players in all servers. They where always around 200 during the weekdays evening/night time and 240 weekends. Since the techtrial on tuesday and wednesday 160-170. Dont know thursday caus I was getting pissed.
Looking at the numbers yes we have been hard done by. Yes p2p will come and yes I have downloaded and used the logon program.
Erm yes since its release the overall numbers of players have decreased at a considerable rate, when I played getting on was hard and even before the Tech Trial there were a lot of empty servers. As stated the numbers have decreased by quite a lot after the TT because the poor reaction of the EF players who knew and then you have to count those that won't even bother trying to find out.
I dont really care where I play as long as it is not by myself.
FFA servers are often empty yes and this has been said often enough I think. Also some servers where not as full because of the map changes some people who couldn't be asked to download maps (?where have I seen that before) and others who only play the same maps, were reluctant to join those servers.
For other possibilities instead of the trial? have the potential customers been asked? As Ted said no and also said that was a mistake. The main problem now is that there is no real way back.
All the potential tech trial users did was moan about installing a tiny bit of software and came up with ideas already dismissed ages a go when BW was in trouble. Banner advertising etc etc.
a company cant force people to buy a product. If a product isn't sold the company has to find another product. It has to sell something to have a profit or survive.
I would like to know how it is going with the other games in trial.
Well I am of to go play with myself on a bw server. [/B]
Who said any thing about forcing them to try a product...at the end of the day BWs very exsistance relies on them going to P2P at some point in the future and this Tech Trial is free although some make it out to be costing £1m.
Actually you adapt how you deliver the technology and binning it isn't really a possibility and imho they can most probably use the GAME shops to increase numbers again, in the future. Although this will leave BW in an empty state if every one reacts the way that EF players did about just the Tech Trial.
BTW you left your post without suggesting another way, in all its time BW has/will always listen to players who have ideas...although they have to be reasonable.
