Predict the peak population at launch

[_Gunnar]

I'm thinking around 2K, dropping rapidly due to swimming bears, but then gradually increasing with updates. but this is a pretty wild guess.
I'm sure once the server starts, if we get people who make youtube videos and stuff picking it up and playing with it, that could draw in a lot more people, but its hard to draw in new people with limited information about the game.

(If the world is 5SGx5SG, we each get around 31 minimaps, or ~1 (and a bit) localmaps, with that population.)

Not sure, 'bro. 100k is a big number but too weird that really nobody knows this game, out of this forum.
Well, that could just be bad luck or i don't walk in the right forum-chat.

Cool. And what would be your numbers for those time periods ... ?

stickin' with my original post

10,000. Dont let your dreams be dreams. It can happen.

I have not played haven and hearth in like 3 years.. I will be trying it out, so will my group. I am sure there are plenty of people like me

I'm a first time player but tried Salem recently. Really looking forward to it.

Honestly to me it doesn't matter how many people is playing. It's about who is playing. After lurking these forums for the past year and seeing what the current community can stir up in terms of drama, I'd take the old guys that played in W5 over the lack luster drama that goes in with the Russians.

But I probably predict maybe 5-600 in launch. And by launch I kinda mean the early stages of the game. Usually people get raided, lose all of the stuff and die and rage quit and asks for the next world.

Wait.

If just half of what we predict turns into real...


LAAAAG.

I mean. Is hafen free? If so, a server for 10k people is seriously a money eater.
I think ther's a limit about how much money devs can put in a no-profit game.
I honestly will hope for a peak of 2000 people max.

It'll be free and we're effectively the stress test, so without a doubt we'll hit a point where the server lags. =)
I don't mind, I started on World 3 so I was born into the lag. I imagine it'll kill the joy for a lot of players though. =(

not exactly the "joy".
More the Time. XD
