Number of players at Party

puzzlemonkey · #1 03-14-2006, 12:15 AM

Haven't been around much for a week -- did I miss something? The numbers of players online at night seems to have skyrocketed -- from something like 63-65K at 11:00 or so to 90K or so. I've seen this over the last couple nights.

Is Party changing the way they count players, or have that many people been showing up?

Any ideas?

The reason their numbers are up is no one can proove how many are online, and Stars have been having more players lately, so Party has been bumping up their numbers... that and the bonus.

Approximately what percentage of players at Party are real-money players, and what percentage for Stars? Seems like some nights Stars is busier than Party, but Party ALWAYS has like, 10x more real-money games than Stars. Seems like the number of players count doesn't seem to matter *that* much (although every play money player is a potential real money player).
