This is hugely improbable to say the least. The rule of thumb for online games is that the overall active user base is typically on the order of five to ten times the concurrent peak. If P99 follows the usual trends then that puts P99 in the eight- to ten thousand user range, possibly much more if it follows the typical pattern for free games of having a significant proportion of users who only infrequently log on. Accounts? Many players here own multiple accounts, with some individual players routinely placing all their characters on unique accounts. The number of active accounts is thus likely on the order of tens of thousands.

Simply put, there are lots of people playing P1999, and a massive number of characters out there.

As an aside, Project 1999 passed its millionth character more than three years ago (Nov. 2015, according to a post by Roegan) and it's presently at close to record levels of popularity. I find that amazing.

That's great and all, but the point you are trying to gather is solely based on your very loose "rule of thumb" that playerbase is equivalent to 5 to 10 times the amount of players on at peak times.

First off the disparity between 5 and 10 is HUGE, thats like saying "on average 5-10% of the population uses apple products. Thats a total variance of roughly 377 million people. You cant simply provide a "fact" like that with such a wide variable range.

Secondly, where do you even get that fact? 5 to 10 times the peak population? I've never heard of that, and even if that were close to the truth, every game is going to be different. considering the amount of games out there, its almost a guarantee that there are games out there with a total population of less than 5 times the amount of peak playerbase.

Anyways, the point being, anyone can just throw some numbers out there, it doesnt mean that they are correct.

i don't think anyone here is trying to say their estimates are fact. go somewhere else.

Currently a bunch of idiots in EC /auc for 60k - 65k.

Seems some Paradigm Shift guys started it and others have joined in.

That would really suck if true. For me anyway. I just joined server in September and I've spent the last few weeks farming plat for a fungi. I should have enough by the end of this week, but not if the price stays this high.

Means over 1 dropped per day forever.

So yeah... there's a fungi for everyone.

As a fungi seller I disagree, super rare guys... it's going to 100k. You know, mudflation and all

*rubs hands together*

 
Fatcat: Look someone put 100k on the forum! It's happening...
