How populated is this game?

I am very interested in buying this game and may do it on a impulse either way, but I'm interested in knowing about how populated this game is.

How many populated servers at any given time? Rough count on players online at once?

There are over 130 dedicated servers atm. Player population depends on the time of course.

Yeah, the population has been growing since word has gotten out on how awesome this game is. :mrgreen:

I'd still buy it even if it had a low population. It's just too unique and fun to pass up.

I haven't had any problems finding a server with low ping and enough players, even at odd hours

I went ahead and bought the game anyways. The server list was a little less than stellar, but for a new(ish) game, it really has some potential!!

Other than people whining about stuff being over powered and people crying because they won't take the time to learn... was great (you have those in every game, so no marks off for morons).

I never had any problem finding a server...
...I just have problems staying on one...

Since the last patch I believe the server browser defaults to showing the Ammo Mule map. If you switch to ALL you should see quite a few more servers.

Yea I had this and I wondered where had all the servers gone. Then I noticed that every server was running the same map and noticed that Ammo Mule filter was on.

I like to keep my bacon hot, but not THAT hot.
