I've been away from Ryzom for about three months now and when I left the population was extremely small.

I don;t know if the population increased at all but I personally would like to know what you guys that actually play the game think the pop is atm.

Across three servers imo when I left it had to be around 5k which would be a couple hundred in the game world at any given time on each server.

What do you think?

Also has the Developer commented on the Player activity at all? are they happy with the playerbase numbers?

Edit: One last thing, Before any new player sees this post and gets turned off by the low pop number I would like to say that even with this small number ryzom has a very tight knit community and while I was playing I had no trouble leveling in a team or running events and doing pvp on the weekends. so if you havent tried ryzom give it a go, just remember this is a MMO so don;t be anti-social lol.

If you come back it will mean there is one more person to pester on Atys.

Hard to say.

As most of us can probably speak for just one server out of the three working ones.

On Leanon (German) I´ve seen pretty much a balance of new Players coming and oldies leaving in the last years.

Since the re-start many old players returned and quite a few new ones came to see, some stayed some didn´t.

For some strange reasons many people seem to shun the official boards and thus there is almost no,:

"Hy, I new." culture, like in other games. Those few who do announce their arrival are recived well and nicely of course.

But I´m pretty sure that these are just a minority of those who really hopped aboard in the last month.

As far as I know the french Server still´s got the highest poulation, with the internatinal close by and the german server last.

Sadly we´re pretty low on newbes, despite our efforts to drag new german players in. *sigh*

Umm about the same as they were before the ownership changed.

Have no clue about actual numbers, but i have noticed a lot more people coming to atys, and staying. We've had 8 new players join our guild alone in the past two weeks. Anyone else noticing a welcome increase of new people?

I think the fact that Ryzom ranks in the top 7 on mmorpg.com is helping some.  I hope more and more people try this game out and stick with it.  It really is something special when you compare it to everything else that is out there now.

No matter how many, the answer would always be "not enough !"

Hopefully it'll be a +1 to server pop from me soon. Busy downloading the client - this game looks interesting.

Glad to see someone else checking out the game. Don't hesitate to ask questions in the Universe chat channel. Also, bump the graphic settings to high. The default settings look like crap.

I haven't found any options ingame for AA and AF, but force it in your videocard settings ( ati catalyst control center or nvidia equivelant ). It makes a huge difference.

Arispotle seems pretty active, if I had to make a guess, I'd say around 10k active subs.

My impression was that there were no where near that many.

I would have to agree. I would imagine that there are probably 1-2k (maybe) active subs. There are a handful of truly devoted players that I see on regularly. Maybe 30-40 active guilds.

There are two more. than just Arispotle, y´know

That is correct.

But yah, I need some more playtime to get a real feeling about sub numbers :p

I send a mail where I asked for Ryzom's subscription numbers, but I doubt I will get any :)

Yeah, that´s confidential Info, I guess.

As long as it´s not over 10 Million its not worth mentioning anyway nowadays

I couldn't give two shits about Ryzoms population.

The players in this game are freaking fantastic and even if the game had thirty people playing I would enjoy every minute of it with them.

I heard that the community was a bit snobbish and rude to new players, telling them to "go back to WoW."  Therefore I have no interest in playing.  Especially because I hate WoW.
