So, is it just me

Or did the numbers drop off considerably after winter event finished? Seems like theres only 1 star on uni2 at most times now, hardly any parties going anywhere, really...

Not that it makes much difference since the only account I can log on to belongs to someone else.

Still. I thought there'd be more people on with the increased drop rates, and the exchange mission and whatnot. Are they all waiting for MAG or something? o_o

People might be a bit burned out, so to say, after trying to cap their characters.

There's probably a lot of people in random unis hunting solo or with a few friends in areas all over the game, so it only looks like there's fewer people.

Few more in uni2 now, 3 stars yay http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

the events are designed in a way so that the small amount of content featured is compensated for by creating variations on themes, be it loot bonuses (the real magnet), experience, holidays... etc.

in defense of PSU, pretty much every game out there has "a small amount of content", as it's all relative.

that being said, ppl get burned out on games. Especially the veterans. So the veterans come in droves when they see the event coming... and then they leave or don't play as much when the event is over. Why? Because the novelty is gone and the game isn't as enticing to them as it is to say... me, who has only played for roughly a month. Pretty simple logic, really.

The Winter Event wasn't planned out well, in my opinion, and a lot of people are turned off by that. But I've been noticing that more and more people are playing outside of uni02 because the focus is on rares again. Plus, most people are capped and burned out. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Yes, actually the winter event were a excellent thing for people to easiley get lv and then to be able to hunt for rares after the event.
Seeing as the droprate is better now.

If people get off from playing after maxing there level.
Then i hardly think the game were really there type of game.


Variety, hunt after neat looking rare weapons to show off and the social bit. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
That is what makes the game worth playing, IMO.

Since I'm guessing the gamer age is quite lower, a lot of vacations are in the winter season so there could be a chance of people having more time to play, but now that the year is going on and everyone is going back to school and college, I guess people do what comes first.

But that is just a hypthothesis.
