Is it dead yet ?

Hello,

I would like to play the game but I fear the hype has gone long ago.

Can anyone tell me if there are still players on servers because I only see 20k players whereas in March, there were about 500k :/

What do you expect, for those 500k people to just play one game and nothing else? Also, don't give a crap about hype, care about what games you like to play.

You are right, life is too short not to play games we like.

Excellent choice, sir!
Let me get my Texas Ti 83-plus and play Worms assembler-coded.

The game does not work like that. This isn't an MMO.
Servers are virtually all private or friends only.. each server, unless modded, only has 10 person capacity.

You can host your own dedicated server or rent one. People typically put passwords to prevent griefers. You can play solo or Listen type server that shuts down when you leave.

So it does not matter how many other people are playing at all.

It's not an MMO with a subscription. Active player count doesn't mean much.
The game is still in development, with the next patch coming tomorrow.

Don't really know about rust... any game like this that had any kind of forced PVP I never played.. so that is pretty much every other survival game as far as I know.

People can play PVP but it's rare I think. But I do see people in looking for groups advertising them.

Are you a precog? How to know the patch will go out tomorrow? ^O_o^ Maybe that we will all be invaded by strange aliens and all our communication network will collapse. W8&See...

This game is like a more mature Minecraft, I've played on a hosted server with randoms once and when too many new players would join, they'd restart the server and ask that you started a new character also, I've spent most of the time exploring solo and this time I'm playing with a friend, it's not really about hype so much as, do you want to take a break from life and go attack some stuff as a viking or build a base etc

They don't have beards if that is what you mean.

Graphics are basic for character. This isn't any kind of fashion show that's for sure.
