Re: Any Old Skol players around?
There should be almost as many people playing it now. Just that allmost everyone stick to just one planet, instead of 20 each ;-)
OK, there has been a decline in the playerbase, I believe it's around 4k now.

Hehe, there were around 300000 planets at it's peak, but long not so many people actually playing, there were many multi's back then. Now adays the amount of planets is basicly the ammount of people playing

still a bit much..
when planetarion was sold late 2002/early 2003 they used "nearly 180.000" in their "for sale" ad
obviously still talking planets, not players ;-)
