Where has the player base gone? My friends list in game has hundreds of players on it, but out of those only twenty or so are active these days. Even my unit has thirty plus members, but only two or three log in from time to time. Last night there was two players logged into the FRR hub and of those one was AFK. The night before that there were six players in the hub playing different game..... some kind of flight sim. Its seems MWO is bleeding players.

*edit- I also see the same players in game matches over and over again. Could that also be a sign to how small the player base has become?

Just asking out of ignorance: How do you know that?

FRR is dead.

As usual, Russ says it on Twitter but not on the MWO forums.

A lot of original players left in 2013 when the clans released without CW or because of one of the many other issues over the years. There's only a few names I recognise here now. For evidence, check the game credits and see how many of the founders there still have active accounts. There are quite a few new players now though, and some founders who gave PGI another chance, so hopefully with the recent improvements things are picking up and getting better again.

Alot of people are playing CW instead of regular matches, thats one reason you see the same players more often game to game.

In the medium queue, browsed the topic, formed an opinion and posted before the window started flashing it was waiting for me to join a match.

I find it hard to stay interested with all the weapons except Lasers so heavily nerfed. The replayability of MechWarrior comes from Mechlab and all weapons offering a solid edge like Lasers do. All those weapons that players complained about kept MWO exciting to play. PGI just couldn't see that that diverse competitiveness that the noobs hated was the main driver of player interest.

I agree, it's time to nerf the lasers as well to put them back on par with the other weapons that were adjusted to increase ttk and mitigate the various metas that sprung up around them.

First time I've been here in...months? Looks like a new CW map, not sure about anything else.

I never thought I'd neglect a MW title because I need to check my collectors on Clash of Clans.
