Any idea regarding average # of players on the server?

Post by Lou »

Hey everyone,

I just picked up Giants on GOG and I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how many people I can expect to be playing with on the GiantsWD server on a given night, when most people would be available to play. I was playing multiplayer and without a decent amount of people the asymmetry becomes really punishing

There aren't many active players on a random night. It may be better to schedule an event and have others confirm that they'll play at a specific day/time.

I totally agree with King as making an event appears to be the best way to play while there aren't many active players nowadays. Let's just make a new thread with a date and exact hour given and ask people to write down, whether they will be available at that time or not. I think you can be certain I will be there, buster too, not sure about Gabi.

If I just get into game, with no event scheduled on that time, I can find from 1 up to 4 players (but just if I'm lucky). Usually it's just empty. People also leave the server quite fast and even if there are a few players, the game is not as intense/funny, as it is with ~10 players or so.

I was full of hope, that there is going to be more players after GOG's sale and CynicalBrit's video on YouTube. Well, let's see if that happens.

I am available almost everyday. I am busy only this Wednesday for now. Tell me your hours and I will be almost sure to be there.
