Just curious, how many DR players are there?

Just you. Everything else is a bot and no one plays.

Seriously, the one time I accidentally did a 'who' I saw about 50+ people on World 2 at about 9pm MST.

According to Stephen (from pre-wipe days), there are several thousand.

Woah, and they all stopped playing? I guess this game really isn't designed for much long term. Though I guess they'd stop playing because there wasn't as much stuff then as there is now, or will be in the future. I dunno.

It's not that they've stopped playing, but that there is very low concurrency. Also, because of the casual nature of the game, many players login for small amounts of time.

Once again, all of this is based upon information from Stephen prior to the board wipes.

Forum population is also not a good indicator, since a very small percentage of total active players ever use the boards.

but.. having said that.. alot have stopped playing too. many are also just waiting for the new build to come back and play.

i concurr with the thought that the game reflects poor long term playability at present. even with the massive influx od new players over the last few weeks, ive noticed any of them hit around 30 and dont seem to be coming back in.

None... there are no players... we are all figments of a bored AI's imagination. We only have the illusion of free will. When we think we are logging out of DR, we are really just returning to running our regularly scheduled sub-routines... now where did I leave that 1101000111001100011111011010011100111010111110010100100000111?
