Lord Gadheras,
There are millions of Stormfall players. Many of them (including myself) aren't pay players.
So, pay to win is only an option.
Where are you hiding those millions of players? Because they certainly not on this server?`If you take the combined members of the top 200 leagues, and then subtract at least 20% of them as alts (if not even more), you probably get closer to the actual active server population.

Lord Gadheras,
there are 1,1 m Forum users. Since there are many players without interest for Forum discussion its easy to conclude that we have few millions players at least. As long as we have free players here pay to win is only an option.
Will the real slim shady please stand up?
You can say over a spawn of x time you had y number of players trying the game. That is not the same as saying you got millions of players. Plarium could very EASY release server stats of active players, how many logged into the sever at any given time and so on, but they don't.
I been member of other forums and still is over the duration of more than a decade, with far more users than this forum have. Doesn't mean that number reflect active members. You don't have 1.1 million active forum users here, you don't even have 110k active forum users. Players get enticed to register on the forum to get a reward.
So Im asking you again where is all these players? If you still insist there is that many players, then you could just as well say that everyone that ever played WOW still is a WOW player because, well... right?

My Lords,
As I said before there are millions whose are playing Stormfall. That's a fact based on number of registered players on Forum, automatic numbers of newly created castles on all servers etc.
Please, stop spreading unverified information's.
Okay. Where is the proof? @ Alyana, can we please have some server stats of daily logins, and such? active players on the sever etc when we do logon?
I can scroll and zoom in my castle and zoom in the local area map but can't zoom in or out there. How about it. In general more zooming and scrolling to size the view to what I want to see.
Also Could we add a setting in options to start in full screen every time. It's THE ONLY WAY i'VE FOUND TO KILL THE LAG.
Please add this to suggestions, I think it is a good idea and a different approach to different magnifications of the world view.I can scroll and zoom in my castle and zoom in the local area map but can't zoom in or out there.

This is easy enough done

Maybe not so good for their business to reveal those numbers. Its easier to get people to buy into their business if they state "oh we got millions of users" rather than show actual active users.Nemanja said:

Some companies may decide that they can share such information with players. However, some of them never share such info. It is a commercial secret for many companies, including ours.I guess it sound better saying you got over a million registered users, rather than maybe 10k active users.... related to ad revenues and such. Players does spot a dead horse when they see one though. Well maybe not qutie dead yet, but the activity in the game doesn't reflect a huge amount of players.

Let's be honest, the commercial secret is aimed at getting new players not investors -- as an investor I would never take that bold claim without evidentiary proof -- as long as the game looks large and robust, it seeks to draw new players.
However, the things that drew me to game are quickly being rendered obsolete. When a game seems to become winnable, without massive spending, people will leave.
Final note, telling players they don't have to do a tournament is akin to saying to an agitated person to calm down. It shows a general lack of understanding of how people think and will have the opposite effect than intended.

there may be over a million registered users, but there is only 131k posts. Which means a lot of registering and leaving.Some players just decide to read, not write. That's normal.
I don't understand why it should be such a big secret though. (apart from maybe some of what Stormwatcher said above). And maybe if don't want to reval such things as "players currently online" when we log on due to not happy about those numbers.Then maybe look at what can be done to make those numbers go up and reach a target zone feel happy about.
