Wow, who would've guessed that MS players would be willing to do unpaid work.

To be fair, that list only shows STEAM players....to be counted as 'on' a pilot would need to...

...have a Steam account.
...launch MWO from Steam.

As an example:

I have a Steam account, AND I have MWO...but I do not launch MWO from Steam (Not counted as being on, even when I am on).

To put it another way: These numbers represent a percent, of a percent, of the ACTUAL MechWarrior Online population.

[SteamCharts Kerensky]

Yeah! MWO actually has 1,000,000 players on nightly. You're right!

Feb Nerf of inner sphere resulted in an immediate 25% drop in steam players.

Actually FW died as soon as the last FW event ended. It just took this long for MS to realize it.

[Iron Buccaneer]

Most units were killed by phase 3. Cost of hiring new members for casual but active units hurts recruitment. Starting up a unit that would have enough players on at a time for good FW drops cost a ton of c-bills as you need 30-80 players to hope to get a 6-12 man on at a given time. Reducing attack lanes may seem to help funnel fewer players into fewer battles but it also makes it almost impossible for a casual unit to ever take a planet since it's winner takes all with tagging and rewards. It seems pretty much like they did their best to go after any unit larger than a company and any unit smaller than a company is basically just a solo with a tag as far as it matters.

Still waiting for the punchline of Phase Three. All jokes have punchlines, right?

The punchline is: WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY A MECHPACK?

Every time I think you guys can't get a better name.

NKVA has brought more glory by righteous forum war (and even a few in game victories) than the last 10,000 neckbearded nerdlords who've laid claim to it since the 90s.

Davion is taking Kurita worlds. Nightly.

That is how far FW has fallen.

It was a joke Sader...I was trying to make this into the Mercstar rumor thread. And yes, I was referring to the 5 AFK guys listed in the section that I couldn't see. (please note the extremely dry sarcasm).

Unfortunatly FW is a barren wasteland atm, I logged in for a few games yesterday and saw 24/44 people in invasion queue on Jade Falcon - Steiner front. Mind you it is Saturday and more people are free and able to play but wont.

In reality big units did this to themselves sadly. Who in a right mind wants to sit in a que waiting for a game sometimes over 20 mins just to be farmed and not have fun at all (im saying this from a PUG solo player perspective).

Wait times are an issue also. Bad design from the start to begin with. Nobody wants to play waitingwarrior online. No matchmaker at all, putting solos against groups another issue.

In my opinion they should "quickplay" FW, meaning I want to get into matches by just simply clicking on a "play" button, wait for a minimum amount of time and be properly matched against other people. Units against solos is just bad policy. This is why you got 40 people playing atm.

[Tom Sawyer]

Logged in yesterday, played briefly with our greek players in public que. FW is a joke and players are leaving in droves.

If this is what PGI wanted well they go it.
