Hope it's more but I think the hype isn't there right now. | ||

I started counting 1hr after launch (also 1hr after the Steam notification was sent out) Not too bad, but not great. Lots of people came back to try it, but seems most who were disappointed from Early Access release did not come back. Will they ever come back? Not sure. Will be interesting to see if player count can stabilize or even grow day after day here. | ||

Will they ever come back? Not sure. Will be interesting to see if player count can stabilize or even grow day after day here. just to put these numbers in perspective: the player count on Stormgate's launch night is equivalent to an average night on a wc3 private server. Stormgate peaked at 986 this evening, and tailed off at ~930 players. I would have been fairly impressed by Stormgate if the game was pushed into early-alpha in the current state. this is what the invite-only early alpha should have looked like. if it was like this during early alpha, I think it would have generated a lot more excitement. the 1v1 multiplayer at least looks pretty engaging now at this point, I feel the likelihood of Microsoft bringing wc3 + sc2 out of maintenance mode is greater than the likelihood of Stormgate becoming an alternative RTS | ||

Weekend is one to watch and let's see what the drop off looks like in a week time. | ||

Unlike Battle Aces they aren't beholden to a parent company. The game is released. Could they put the game on maintenance mode? Sure. But I highly doubt they will shut off the lights entirely. How much could it cost to maintain a server? | ||

Same, also watched a stream to decide whether i wanted to re-download but i think i still can't connect to the art either. So with no 3v3 to make me play despite that i think i m done. | ||

It all looks like a roach hydra vs gateway only engagements. It's functional but also lacking anything particularly entertaining | ||
