Steam Launch Progress..

[Turban]

I wish my computer didn't decide to start dying yesterday, else I would be online to help with the retention of the players. Unfortunately my GPU is on the verge of complete death, and I won't get a replacement until Tuesday, thus the most I can do is to monitor the growth / statistics / new players / downloads, and keep contact with the key people of our staff to ensure everything is going smoothly.

As of now, there has been 565 new players visiting our zone today, and the game has been downloaded 4500 times through Steam. The current count of players playing through Steam is at 205 and has been steadily climbing throughout the day, so all-in-all it is looking good. Other zones are gaining a bigger benefit based on the zone selection screen, with Death Star Battle slowly becoming more and more popular. We can probably supply some graphs in the coming days.

looking good, I'm quite optimistic about the future, and hopefully I can log in soon depending on when my replacement GPU arrives.

Getting people to try it the first time was never the issue. Getting them back for a 2nd time was. I will keep my opinions out of it for now but I am intrigued to see if the population can get along long enough to make a good first impression to enough people. I am not holding my breath but good luck anyways, Trench Wars.

I'm even gonna sign in to see if I can help out with questions if I can.

So i logged in today and saw the normal population maybe a little larger than normal but nothing too huge to notice, but its not that the population was inflamed, Pub itself was on fire! Still is!
Seeing all of the new players coming in from Steam is pretty amazing to watch, whats even more amazing is watching all of these vets step in to help the new players and stimulate the gameplay to help do there part in assuring a proper perception of this game and its community.
Congratulations to everyone that made this steam launch possible it has been a long time coming that most of us thought was just a pipe dream and would never reach reality.
Congratulations to every player still playing and helping support this zone.
I only hope that these new players stick around to see what this zone really has to offer with leagues and events.
Great job, this was exactly what we needed. I am certain that this is just the beginning being that this is the first day, the first 12 hours even.
I speak for many of us when i say that i am excited to watch this all unfold.
Thank you!
