10.000 new accounts made in 1 week!

Post by MCJim »

This is really awesome. But what I don't get is that the ESO population barely rises. In theory there should be 10.000 new players. (Which is not true of course because 30% is smurf). But still, I never understood that.

Edit: every time I refresh there are like 15 new accounts xD

maybe lotsa people are eyeing your prizepot ? :whistling:


it's also possible that due to it being $5, tons of people are buying it?

Well, the game was $13.60, then $8, then $4.60 in the Steam sale. Pretty good deals.

But I think this stat means accounts made on Eso, not copies of the game that were bought. So there should be more people in this case

Thats true, not everyone who buys AoE makes an online account. This means that AoE is sold way more then those stats tell us. This indeed shows us made accounts, not how much the game is sold.

i think not even 1 on 1000 plays aoe 3 online (just a guess), most people are recreational gamers who like to play a game so now and then and the campaign and dont want to throw themself in the online game community. Like myself

I dont understand the campaign hate. I loved it! I have played all campaigns on hard the entire way through. Alot of it id nostalgia from when i was a kid, but i still enjoyed playing the entire way through again recently.

Yes, if you install it on the other computer and log in with your new ESO account, you can use the same account everywhere. You can also buy it on one computer and install it on the other.

You will definitly be able to do that!
There will be some steps to take, in order for Steam to work on another PC with the same account, but its only to varify that its yourself.

And with the 4$ deal at the moment, i would definitly advise you to buy it fast.

Have fun playing :D
