How Many Others Besides Me?

[Leummas]

I’ve been around since day one (a Veteran if you will). Heck, I’ve been here since early Alpha and Beta! I’ve lost all my in-game friends that were here at the release of Defiance; I guess they moved on. Over this past year, I have seen a lot of faces; some never stay more than 3 months. And with this F2P movement, there will be a “flood” more of new people, whether they stay or go, that’s up to them. What I am trying to say is that I feel like a dying breed of “Day-Oners”(guess I'm just sentimental that way). So I would like to pose this question: Is there still anyone out there that have been playing since day one(or at least since April 2013), and if so, how many are we? (If you are still hanging in there and believe this game will improve; cheers.)

(I'm not looking for flames nor am I trolling, I'm just a somber player looking for the one's who, like me, never gave up.)

You are not the only one. I've been around since the Beta. I took a break for a while playing other games but i still cant help but come back. Even with all the issues I still enjoy the game and play now play regularly again.

I bought the game from a local game shop 3 days before it's official release, and tried to play it every few hours.
Managed to play it 2 hours before the servers were meant to be online at midnight, although I managed about 20 mins of play time only, due to disconnections.
I've had 3 different characters, due to disliking the name and look of the 1st, random deletion of my second(high ego) and now on my 3rd, about ego 600
I've seen vast improvements, and some major setbacks too, as a true veteran, I played the game, joined a clan, but I knew nothing about Defiance twit/facebook/this forum for about a year, due to playing the game, and caring nothing for the "community" of other players, i think the only way the whole community thing would work better, is if there was a central hub, where players could get together, plan arkfalls, share weapons, in a place where you don't get kicked out by servers, or know you're about to be attacked.

Until that moment, i'll contribute to my clan, but I'll be a lone wolf in terms of being sociable with other players in-game

I'm basically going to carry on playing, and see what happens when season 2 is released, what new things are added, and...well unless the game servers are closed, I know that no matter what I say, i'll keep on coming back to Defiance, it's addictive.

I've been around since this game's second week, we are a dying breed of players.

I'm going to be leaving once F2P comes out. Unless Trion gives us vets what we deserve.

And I know for certain that 7/10ths of this games playerbase will go to Destiny this fall, I asked in game last month in zone chat and got hundreds of replies saying "Destiny will overkill Defiance".

But I hope that those who stay a good time.

[Dracula Hellsing]

perhaps, but then that would mean less defiance players = more stable servers due to less strain on them?

Day one player here.
Still play.
Still love the game in spite of it's management.

With Bungie being butts and not releasing Destiny on PC, I guess I'll be waiting for the Division or something.

I'm still here, I purchased the game on launch day

Alpha/Beta as well as Pre-Ordered and played from Day 1.

I have played since day 1. There are things that need improvement but the game has provided me with many hours of entertainment (and frustration).
