Steam charts say about 1k average players with 1.8k peak. Then you add in the players who use the official client. You also have to divide the players by the number of servers.

They reduced the server cap not so long ago to try to get more people to sub and pay $15 a month (again) since most people were instantly getting into maps without paying, but the developers gave the same excuse it was to "improve performance" which was only a side effect and most dont notice a performance difference. This had the opposite effect of people leaving the game for something else FTP and/or not so neglected. The game still has about the same performance when the server cap was 2000.

They will sunset the servers when the population gets to the point nobody needs to sub anymore to get into battles at prime time and we are dangerously close to that now.

https://ps2.fisu.pw/population/?world=0 Use the right site.

Pop is half what it is on average... that's... not that bad given the game's age... I thought it would be worse.

To be fair, it's half the usual playerbase it had for nearly a decade, meaning that long term fans ditched the game lately

3rd party site but lets use it. Looking at all servers average players over 30 days the lowest is 7 and the highest is 356. So far I am correct and it's worse than I thought.

Looking at that sites peak on Emerald, the most popular server, it shows the peak of 1252. Last cap was 1500. Again what I said shows true. People are not having to pay at all which is the major reason they keep lowering the cap.

"3rd party site" what are you even on about? Steam dont even count all the players, only the numbers from steam and not the standalone. Fisu is using the API.

I dont care if you are the queen of fricking england, steam charts are not the full data that we have.

Been a sub dont get you into prime time. It lets you jump the que, said que only moves forward when someone leaves in case of max pop que.

My only fricken point was you used the wrong site, 3rd party my ass. I could have played ps2 for this whole time and never used steam, whos going to count me huh? Theres no other site who's not "3rd party" that counts all player numbers from the API.

Sorry not sorry.

My god your one of those. Attempt to explain in a simpler manner.

Fisu is a 3rd part site if it uses an official API or not.

I already said steam didnt have the full data on current playerbase.

Prime time is the only time the all access pass would be helpful with servers but people hardly need it anymore since the population is so low.
