Evochron On Steam = Ton Load Of New Players

There are good things and bad things about this, but more importantly if this game really takes off we'll need more than one server.

ALSO RIGHT BEHIND SKYRIM IN TOPSELLERS O_O

We will need lots of experienced players to deal with all the questions. It was overwhelming at times. Get on if you can to help out.

I hoping to have a collection of common questions with answers on the forum in some sort of sticky thread, I just re-posted my combat tutorials hoping Vice will sticky that thread. Hopefully I can redirect the Steam players to the forum for answers.

I have advised most to do the training. I have a feeling that the majority were just using the demo to have a look.

If they were forced to invest some time doing the training, they might stick around. Although I'm not sure in this era of immediate gratification, whether that would work.

I remember the first Half life and Call of Duty had the forced training. It did neither of them any harm.

lol Do you have a log of players that joined that day through the server? I'm just curious as to how many new players there are according to the server at least.

I just saw this and I almost didn't believe it for a bit.

Hello new players!

Do you just have to activate your copy on your Steam account? Will you still be able to use your original profiles?

Cheers Mike;)

Do the "old" pilots need to sign up to Steam for any reason?

Or do we continue as usual?

sundalo · Post by **sundalo** » Tue Jan 17, 2012 9:30 am

Just got back from checking out what all the noise is about! oh my!!! At one point I estimate there was a new player joining every 30 seconds! It was crazy! The chat box was so full of USS welcome messages I could barely keep track of any conversations that were going on! I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I do believe I posted about this kind of thing happening about two weeks ago! I forget what thread it was in though.

:):):):) Dingo's gonna need a cryogenic cooling system for the server!!!!

:P

Congratulations Vice! EM is making a VERY BIG NOISE right now!!!!!

The BAD ALIENS are gonna have to put in double shifts!!!!!:P:P:P:P

Hopefully more servers will start popping up, I would mention the bad side effects of having a big online community, but we'll cross that bridge when it comes.

Also I wouldn't mind for the original players to add me on steam my username is Mecingo. Of course

Hopefully R1 comes back too.
But otherwise, we will definitely need a couple new servers.

Oh my! Good timing on the extra BA member me thinks! What are we to do? The Evo-verse is going to be a "target rich environment" for a while I hope. Gonna have to dust off the old spare ship to keep the number of attacks up. Oh my, oh my!

Chaos is going to be busy!

I certainly hope BA coordinates their kills ... (hint: paper and a sharp pencil to keep track). We wouldn't want to see them violate their own ROE.

Viper · Post by **Viper** » Tue Jan 17, 2012 7:42 pm

Awesome! And congratz to Vice. I hope all your hard work is paying off now and will keep doing so for some time to come. If you ask me you deserve no less for creating the best space sim out there and standing so close to your community. Hats off to Vice!

I wish I could be online more often to take part in the mayhem.

I popped in game real quick just now and this is really wonderful, it really feels as though the game and server are coming alive! It's teeming with players and chatter all over the place.

Behold the awesomeness!
