Pretty unlikely TWI would circulate sales figures, tbh.

Also - looks like it has peaked at 7,790 - I reckon about 50-100k new players got to try RO2 this weekend... Valve would prolly have those figures but, again, not really for public consumption. Nor would be the actual sales figures.

I wonder if we will see a price drop after the free weekend? Probably should in order to keep the momentum. Though they might keep it high in anticipation of the summer sale. But it should definitely be price dropped post summer sale.

It was OVER 10,000 this morning, I wasn't the only one who saw it. ;)

Not according to the max players today stats of steam. And not according to this graph. Perhaps steam had an error in its display this morning, as it seems like a very odd time to peak out.

Anyway it seems that its on the decline again, so 7790 was the max it obtained during the free weekend. The most interesting thing will be how many will we see on the servers tomorrow.

I'd love to see the numbers AFTER the free weekend to see how many people actually bought the game :p

yeah, me too. We'll get a much more accurate picture in the next couple weeks. However, if the amount of positive feedback is any indication, we'll see alot of full servers.

There are still 4500 players online atm. However most of the TWI Action mode servers are now empty. But I hope that many players will stay and some of the old ones will return for good as well.

Huge Thanks to Tripwire for improving this game so massively! While I hope that a lot of Free Weekend players bought the game, I can say that Im going to play it more often now, that there seems to be more players again on the servers.

AFAIK The free bit finished a little while ago, so anyone still on the servers bought the game. Yeah - you can see the drop - but 4600 stayed on - so they're mostly new guys.

Welcome to them, and let's all make sure this community keeps them in the fold.

It would be nice if relatively more people bought it from the free weekenders than KF even though there were less total . If it can attain 3000 or something for a steady amount then that is a big increase.

I am also willing to bet even more than that actually bought the game, but because this is a holiday that many people in the US spend having BBQs and hangin out, I bet a lot of those people who bought it when it was cheap simply arent playing it ATM. Im not worried either way, i like boosts of players to my favorite game.

yea I think the free weekend was a success, but the civ 5 free weekend, the BF3 double XP weekend and some problems on friday stole a bit of the players, I think. I guess the next free weekend will be even better :p

Anybody else find it coincidental that DICE put on a free DoubleXP weekend at the same time?

Maybe I'm just suspicious. ;)

I assume there will be (at least, I hope there will be) a lot of people who bought the game at launch, like me, who have given it another shot after the patch and who will now be sticking around.

I know I will, it's now pretty much how I hoped it would be on launch... :D
