I'd expected to see more than this playing.. join a game with 3 people (other 12 player servers full, which is a small amount btw) and the second I try to go in the hive the game crashes. Awesome first start. Loved the first one but I already feel like wanting my money back

    Give it time. Lots of people are waiting for the 180 build which might be released today. Later this evening there will be many more people playing. What map was it you were joining?

    If this is your attitude, please get a refund right away and buy again at release. Sarcastic posts with the hidden message of "fix it" (which is not needed btw, UWE is most definitely fixing the game, hence the frequent patches) from unsatisfied pre-orderers, isnt needed in the forums during beta - constructive critisism with the purpose of helping the game evolve into 1.0 is.

    Would be glad to play with you, like anyone else, at launch

    Welcome to the community Epsleck, currently everyone is waiting in anticipation for the upcoming patch, in which loads of people will resume playing once it's out.

    179 isn't very good, it has a rather nasty bug which makes a lot of the servers unusable, 178 lost players slower I think, if 180 solves the bug and doesn't introduce any more, it should keep good playercounts for a while.

    179 is very good ... it fixes many bugs (but some still remains :) ) .. hope 180 will be even better !

    The game is good but 179 has a lot of bugs which make it kind of unplayable, ostensibly 180 fixes the major ones, so we'll see.

    Wait for B180 patch, then you'll have plenty of populated servers to play on.

    Until the game reaches a more playable state that the masses can play the numbers of overall players will always remain low.

    Once the "mega performance patch" comes out that makes the game run smooth the play numbers will increase drastically.

    So you have (2) choices. Get an immediate refund and re-buy later. Or keep the money invested in UWE so they can continue on with the game. If the money isn't a big deal just sit and wait.

    12 is enough to enjoy the game.

    This is beta, not a demo. You are not playing a finished game.

    Overall the game makes steady progress with each fortnightly patch.

    If it's too frustrating for you, come back when it's finished.

    You should probably read sticky threads before posting.
