Build and Shoot

Hi,

Just a quick heads up.

I just tallied up the number of players playing on AoS 1.0 at the moment:

There are currently 167 players on Aos.

On BnS as I'm writing this, there are (drum roll please) 188 players.

Congrats:)

Dom.

Sum those two numbers together, and you'll have less players than what we had before jagex started interfering.

Woohoo \o/

And there are currently 2 players on Iceball.

By that, they meant people putting their email address into the box on the homepage and hitting submit. A large amount of that could have been spam, or lies.

The number seems crazy, I mean. How many people actually gives away their email when it's not necessary ?

I know. They also refused to bring any proof.

It's not like they could prove it in any way other than giving out the email addresses (which is obviously a bad idea).

Lol, yeah, anyone that has every run a website with any kind of form anywhere on it will realise that at least 50% of that 500,000 would probably be bots.

Apparently not Jagex, as they setup 927 servers for launch.
http://store.steampowered.com/stats/ suggests the most players they've had online at a time is 942.

They must be hemorrhaging money right now. Without some sort of reoccurring payments or micro-payments, there's no way they can afford to keep over 900 servers running. They're opening more as well because it appears they forgot about Australia so there's loads of pissed of >300ms ping Australians.

Didnt the Nov 1st press release mention x has played the beta. x being the number of downloads according to aws. Then the press release the day before mention y number of pre-registered users. If I am not mistaken x = y. Downloading 0.75 counted as pre-registration.

Jagex can't count anymore?

they never could... *links to runescape poll*

Let's not get cocky... Right now:
1.0: 628
0.75: 268

It's still no way near 500,000 people though.

Jagex: 1000
Build and Shoot: 400
