Admitting the Principal reads The Vault is far more interesting than admitting how many people play the game Cheesy

Though the reality is far more likely that Cordo read it then ran to the Principal's office...

But was it the lead item in his report, or was the lead item "they are still calling me bad names" ?

I assumed it was merely an estimate. Maj now knows not to ever provide any meaningful information here. Unless he has some exploits to share !

i'm sure it was off-the-cuff. but 20k is probably a good ballpark not counting folks who have an account but don't really.play

Didnt you try a manual count of who list a while back? What were the avergaes? I'd say just from looks of things can't be more than 5k people on a day.

Yep. Generally less than 1k people on per server.

Oh, look. how nice.. A merge teh servers thread by Madmat. Fran dug some numbers up with averages from Oracle. Are those just character logins or accounts? And are they counting each toon/account more than once? Surprised no one brought up WoW system of connected realms. Rather than merging just keep em all open and connected. No merger headache to players this way.

Let me be really clear.
There was an agreement many moons ago, that I would ignore your...antics, and you would respect my privacy.My words would not go public.

If that is no longer true, that is unfortunate. I like to be able to talk freely, but if you are going to buttfuck me for a night of the forum game jollys, I'll be done with this side of the community.
We can go back to the draconian ways of old. I can bring all those anti-vault walls back. Vaultie on the council. Boom. main forum? Boom. Exploiter. Boom. I'm the guy on the inside that stops that shit.

Or, you can treat me with the respect I treat you, and your opinions.

Don't make noise in my life. Remember game to you, job to me.




Please don't. I don't care about the numbers and it would hurt the community more than anything else.

Ok then you got me. And fuck you rest.

Stressful week, you'll all know why soon. Let's just say I do different things for DDO now.

Talking here has become even more perilous for me.


Really Maj, you forgot what the Vault is all about ? Trolls, Flames, Porn and an Eventual Gold Nugget.

I'm still here... And they haven't bought me over ( just look at my rage about Akamai ).

Really it was also obvious for me that the 20K number was a random number provided to make a point and not an actual real number. It's too round a number.

If Maj had said there's 25460(*) players I would have believed the number, but not 20K it's way too round.

(*) please note that this 25460 number is an off the ass number and it has absolutely no relation with DDO, nor with my bank account.

Haha! Poor Maj was totally taken out of context.

Here, have a soggy biscuit Smiley


I wonder what's giving him that much stress. Did they finally figure out that the ladder bug exploit is an actual threat?

If Maj becomes producer, that'd be awesome! Imagine, a DDO executive who actually talks (swears, cusses, trolls, and zooms in to animated gifs of boobs and asses) with players!

I'm not in MajMal's fan club, but I will respect this.

And when I read MajMal's initial post, I didn't think he was referencing player numbers at all, but alluding to the number of bugs they catch vs what goes live.

I am curious how shit on the Vault gets to Majmal's bosses - do they read the boards as well?
I guess even Turbine staff think the shithole DDO forums are too sterile under Cordo's control....    Cheesy

Regarding Majmal...you guys are idiots. It was FUCKING OBVIOUS 20000 was a number he pulled out of the air.

Majmal has been VERY kind to come here and talk to us over the last year or so. I, for one, I am VERY appreciative of that fact.

Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Edit per request: Some unnamed dev having a conniption about an asshole (name also redacted in advance) quoting him on the internets. My own bit of assholery will remain unedited. /edit

LOL. It's higher than I would guessed. Y'all should try advertising. It's a good game, might bring in some players.

They are advertising, throu google adwords and similar. From a WB point of few, there is a budget for advertising, and that´s it. It is more reasonable to spend more money in advertising in the products that run better.
DDO is not dead or in "maint mode" like some doomsayers say, BUT it is also not in the mood for growing. As long as "money spent on developing for DDO" < "revenues throug sales in DDO", they will continue doing stuff.
