I know people keep saying this game's on it's way out...

But gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwddd daaaaaaaaaaayum, it only seems to be growing in population. Dunno what anybody else is seeing, but I just did a minor arkfall... MINOR... that had to have like 30-40 people at it. Then, the hellion major came, and I swear it had to be close to a hundred.

Out of curiosity, I hauled *** to the arkfall on the other side of the map, didn't even bother sticking around to gather loot, and found that there were still nearly a hundred on that one with half the work done already, so couldn't of been all the same people.

I swear, I'm seeing steadily increasing numbers... and for a Monday Morning, that was a lot of people. And the more that are around, the more fun this is.

Sorreh. Just made me happy and feel like I should post, lol.

I too am noticing an increase in the amount of players. Even during the late nights early mornings there are still a good number of players.

You're right, it is only growing in population. No doubt there will be a bunch of idiotic replies to this telling tales of how "all my friends have stopped playing Defiance and that means that I can't play it either". People who say this game is on it's way out truly have no sense whatsoever.

It's great to see people defending Defiance and enjoying it to this day because it will only get better.

Good post man!

You're seeing an increase in people at Arkfalls, not perhaps in the actual game. Once you finish everything, Arkfalls provide a distraction from grinding out Pursuits.

Thought that at first, as well. But as I replay story missions, I'm ending up with more and more people joining up on the missions. I see more people at the side missions, more people talking and trading, and even just generally driving around. When I first got this game like... maybe 3 weeks ago?... I could go like 20-30 minute stretches without seeing anybody on the roads. Could just stand still, and would be happy if I saw a single purple dot rolling by. Now, it's hard for me NOT to find people populating nearly every "mile" of the world.

Even areas that no one in their right mind would go to are driving around there.

Arkfalls are fine but i swear last night between 10pm - 1.30am UK time i saw like four people max at all major vendors on the map, i just wish they would open up the xbox servers so we can play with everyone because i liked joining other people and helping them then moving on that's what makes this gaming experience special to me, but now i feel i'm all alone in the world.

LOL i sound depressed.

Yeah, like actual San Fran across the bridge. First time I got in there, weren't more than 20 or 30 people total around that I saw, if that. Now it's actually decently populated, and that whole area is insanely violent and a pain to just travel around.

Yeah, I wish the same. One of my good friends is over in Britain, and I finally convinced him to join up in the fight only to discover the region locks. I can understand that it's to reduce lag and make better connections and stuff, but I can't help but feel like some awesome cross-continent play and socialization is being lost because of it.

Last night in UK may have been quiet but Sat nite was insane, never seen that many people on before. Actually started to lag my game near the bug n chug with all the blue dots around.
