Has there ever been any offical numbers listed anywhere?

Or has anyone tried to work it out? Even a crude figure based on the main race zones

No official number, and I doubt that will ever be one (why is it even important?).
My guess is it's below 6 billion :p

My guess is around 800-1000 during days. Somewhat less at nights. And the numbers seem to be rising. I have noticed that in the past few days (which is a very good thing indeed).

Well it's not important really, but i've had the Cities of Intuition zone to myself on a few ocasions which is something that hasnt happened to me in any other online game except a mud i played.

Also player population in the first 6 months of a game gives you some idea where the game will be in a few years time although theres so much more competition these days..

hee hee when i were a lad 1500 players on a server was luxury ;)

2 days ago i made a tourist toon on matis noob island. 15pp where running around in 1 lil city... 15 this means that the game is gaining on population. Ok maby all trile ppl. But if 1/3 of them stay while wow comes out in europe. We ar saved. This will means we get the mature folks and wow gets the kids :)

I just hope we will not be hit by an eastern plage of bots and guilds like in lineage2

Matis Q100-250 areas are virtually dead most nights, however alot of new ppl in the q50 areas.
To me as someone whos enjoyed the game, players seem to last 2 months before they disapear off. Im no different, once you get passed the eye candy and get down into mechanics there is little to do but level. I think once there is content it will get better. However I and thousands of others played Planetside for 18+ months, this is what Nevrax need to be aiming for.

Well, you all need to remember that the game hasn't been out that long. It WILL get better, you can be pretty sure of that.
