More or less than you expected? Could it go up or is it downhill from here?

(The beta staretd out at 4000 peak early and was at around 2000 before release.)

actually more then I expected so far near to 10k mhh okay

guessing.. it will go up. Typically I play through SP before jumping into MP. This time I jumped into MP right away. Not to mention weekend warriors

"Less"....was hoping for at least 20K

Wow, that's a lot more than I believed. Almost half of what Black Ops has. That is amazing.

With as much exposure as RO2 had on Steam, 10K max after release seems kinda low.

Black ops has 20k peak. Whatever you expected was unrealistic. Almost 10k is awesome.

what did black ops have immediately after launch?

Most of us (that played the game throughout the beta phase) decided to give the game a break till some more bugs are fixed and statistics/weapon unlocks are ironed out.

After seeing the beta numbers it was about what I expected.

However its lower than I hoped because even if you start close to 10000 that means you will likely drop down to something like 2000 pretty quickly after launch. If twi manages to get some needed polish into the game, and then releases a big free dlc, I think the player amounts could rise a good lot.

I think a key effect will be whether RO will get some good reviews, and good patches out now. RO1 and Killingfloor had their peak a bit past launch afaik.

Also, I don't know why most of you are comparing RO2 to black ops... completely different games, completely different target audience. I don't think TWI care.

i could be wrong! but i think it was over 100K.

Many people are waiting for a boxed release.

Many kiddies are too young to get a Mastercard and too scared of their parents to sneak it out of their wallets (to buy on Steam).

People were buying boxed RO1 even 5 years after release.

so just be patient...

I'm using BO as a indicator of what kind of numbers a game that's being played by "everyone" has. I won't use TF2 because it's f2p. Having almost half of one of the "biggest" shooters out there in my opinion is a very good number. Let's hope it doesn't drop too much.

anyone remember what ROOST did in the first few days after launch?

I don't think steam (or statistics) existed back then

I'm not sure. I only got introduced to steam in late 2007 with Team Fortress 2's release and I'm pretty sure statistics didn't exist back then. Wikipedia says RO:OST was released in 2006 so I automatically assumed steam didn't exist either No idea

EDIT: As for the peak amount of players, remember thats the MOST amount of players playing at the same time. But i thought be slightly higher but i didn't expect it to be great because of the 'niche' market the game sits in. Also they haven't marketed the game very much.

Steam has been about since 2003. The released a patch for all Valve games which introduced a much more basic version of it and its simply snowballed since then.

I would have expected, or hoped, for a bit higher numbers at release to be honest. Not that they are bad though, but as always they will drop rapidly in the coming weeks. But hopefully TWI will fix up the game, add some free content and do a free weekend which brings back old players and gives new people who were unsure of the game a chance to try it.
