Is PR dying?

What is going on there? I can remember good old times when i could play ANYTIME during work days, always there were 10+ almost full servers, great fun to play anytime.

What happen now? you can play on the weekends only. During workdays there is just few players spread on few servers and one or two full. But as you will agree, it's not really good experience to play 4 vs 4 or so

When you check game-monitor PR is now at 2%, weekends 4-6% if lucky.

When this start to happen? I would say since 0.7

Ok i heard lot of arguments from DEVs like: it's our game, we want it like this, etc.
But usually when you are doing a game, you are doing it for players not for yourself? correct? otherwise you wouldn't publish it.

Anyway, what's the plan with PR? I really like this game and i would like to know it.

Do you want to end up with 67 players and two servers like PoE
or 84 players at 4 server like FH2?

I really think that PR is a great mod and you did excellent job, and you shouldn't kill the game.

Please think!!!

Clear! LOL!

What a bull btw! It all depends on where you from. In Europe we always have 10+ servers running after 6 pm. So move over!

Are you only on at 6 AM? Because that's when the rest of us are asleep. That might explain it.

Anyhow, I've not had trouble finding decent servers to play on at all.

There are always servers to play on!
And then there are 3x the amount of players on weekend nights

I don't think the original poster is serious about the suggestion of PR dying.

Sorry to say, but it looks more like a complaint about 0.7 and some BS scare-mongering to try to influence the Devs into rolling back the version.

Sorry FatCat, but I think if you aren't happy with some of the features in 0.7 you are probably better off waiting until the next version (which will probably tweak and alter the basic 0.7 features) or simply start a proper discussion with a decent topic about what and why you aren't thrilled about in the current 0.7 with a view to giving the devs something concrete to consider (or discard if they've already covered it).

Sorry again, but I am sure you can do better than this for the good of the community.

yeah after 6 pm, but before 0.7 i could play ANYTIME

WAKE UP guys, right now there is 287 player online and ONLY ONE FULL server 5 half-full and 10 with less than 10 players

before 0.7 there were at least 10+ FULL servers ALL THE TIME!!!! not even after 6pm.

you're right, i'm unhappy about 0.7, but not for it's functionality but due to fact that since 0.7 PR is loosing players.

Less players = less teamwork = less fun

I don't want PR loosing players, coz i like the game. But since 07 the loosing of players is fact, therefore i don't like 0.7

Got it?

Really, i know what i'm talking about, i've spent 3 months of daily playing PR before Xmas 07 + whole Jan 08

PR losing players means that the core players who enjoy PR stay!= the people who like temawok ect... atleast thats the way i see it.

i dont see what the problem is i see the way pr has grown as a positive! i started playing during .4 when there whas usulay 3 populated servers...

I don't think you know what you're talking about.

I don't ever recall seeing 10 full server at anytime of the day for ANY version of PRM.

PRM is a niche game for those looking for certain aspects in an online game , not a general FPS clone like so many others are.

Look at it this way.

The developers have a dream game in mind for THEMSELVES and are working on PRM to that end. They of course want others to play it with them as well so they released it to the general public.

If they were looking for a mass market FPS clone PRM would have beat out CoD4 to the market , would probably have umpteen hundreds of players and servers would be full..but then it wouldn;t be special , just yet another FPS.

Suck it up princess and live with the reality. ;-)

yeah 200-400 is plenty of people.

but i'm talking about a loosing players

3 month ago it was 600-800 daily
now only 200-400

what about in next two months? 60-80 like PoE

also i'm taliking about WHY PR is loosing players

PS: if someone says that PR is not loosing players, is just blind or ...

Jedimushroom · Post by **Jedimushroom** » 2008-02-08 16:15

POE has few players because it is basically BF2 with some shiny paint, eventually people get blinded when looking at it and only enjoy it when stoned.

PR isn't like this.... is it?
