Users Online

[Thatguy007]

I was wondering what dictates the amount of users online vs subscribers? The ratio stayed consistent early on (i think it was like 1 online every 3 or 4 subs) but now I have only around 2000 online despite having 24,000 subscribers (and growing). My network seems to have enough bandwidth with regions also having overhead bandwidth. Is there something i'm missing?

If it matters I have 8 regions (two level 1s and two level 2s).

I had been trying to dig into this for awhile.

I was testing several systems to see if they affected the online subs. player class rating, ease of leveling, and several other things. I have a thread or 2 on the forum, where I was trying to collect info to help identify this.

Honestly I couldnt find any correlation.

when the game first released there was like a 1-2 or 1-3 ratio of online users to subscriptions. after an update this new system went in, and like you, I noticed the decline in online users to sub ratio.

maybe a dev can chime in and say if there is anything tied to this.

Check server caps and region cap, maybe get more than one region for low levels.

I do have multiple regions for low levels (2 for level 1 and 2 for level 2. anything above that isn't even close to filling up so something else must be the issue). None of my regions are close to capping out and my server can hold up to 8000 people. Unless I am misunderstanding you, these things all seem to be good on my end. Are you not having any issues with users online?

Yeah I have just about given up on trying to figure out what's going on. We could be overlooking something but I am beginning to think its a bug.

Almost at 100,000 subs, and still at 2,000 online / 16,800. Been like that since like 10,000 subs or whatever.

Seems like a bug honestly.

Edit: I'm not sure if this is what did it, but my online players “skyrocketed" to 4,600 after I set up a mini starter zone where there's basically only one quest that gives just enough experience to get from level 1 to 6 and also gives the player 100 gold. Then a flight path from there into my level 6 zone. The trip costs 100 gold so they can't do it without first doing the quest, and it’s the only way out of the zone.

This is just speculation, but perhaps mixing new subscribers with established players keeps the established players online longer, since they have people to play with now?
