Player count is high but every server is nearly empty

[eyehack]

Why is it that there are 86,000 players actively playing, but when I goto view the servers I can only find 3-4 servers with 4-6 people online.

Are 80,000+ people playing on offline mode? Game always feels dead.

Most people play private servers, you can change the game play a bit and don't have to deal with d*ck heads. This game isn't public server friendly.

Your server filters are hiding a lot then because there's way more servers than that, some of which have 40 people playing.

I'll have to check that thank you.

Most play PVE private solo with friends and family. This game is barely surviving. They sold 5 million copies and on average, only holds 5,000 - 6,000 players. Only during a major update will it shoot up briefly for a few months before dying back down. Half of the community is upset that the game is still in an early access state. With each major update, your saves will be incompatible. Forcing players to restart in order to enjoy new content.

Sure, they give you server settings to mess with, but you are basically cheating by removing the grind and editing the default game difficulty. And this doesn't bring back everything you grinded for. Players would rather play games that are complete.

Try playing official pvp and you'll quickly understand why.

Seeing 65,000 players actively playing gives me hope, but once I try and join a game all I can see is maybe 5 servers with a max of 15 people in total, I swear I checked the filter before and it was still dead :(

I literally just took this picture of the server screen, there's more that you can scroll down for and the list was still populating. There are many servers, many people playing, and you can plainly see 55 people on just one of them.

I do not enjoy PvP or multiplayer games. I prefer solo play games. Not everyone enjoys what you enjoy.
