Is APB Player Statistics down?

[R3ACT3M 489]

I've been checking every day now and it still hasn't shown me the populations. Just curious if it's just me or if anyone can shed light on why it might be down.

[Bambola 379]

It has been down since the last patch. Why, I do not know. 

[Nagletz 215]

I guess they locked it somehow.

There is a russian apb site,https://wiki.apb-r.ru/go/Online, showed population count before, it doesn't work as well.

Maybe the testing in the engine upgrade has to do something with that

[NotZombieBiscuit 3146]

Because the game is finally shut down.

Well, if you compare the two UI designs, you can see they are the same.

Keep in mind this is a player project, not one run by LO themselves.

I do know that, I mean if LO were to block the site somehow, it is keeping me away rather than making me want to log on and see what the pop is

Unless it affects things negatively for them, I don't see any reason why they would do that

Well if I had to make a conspiracy. Maybe they don't want players to see the low pop. Kinda like, "oh there's no one on guess I wont get on either". specifically for NA

I mean, if there's nobody on then what's the point of hopping on? There's plenty of other games to play, hopping on to an empty server in the hope that enough people might also hop on is... yea. The overwhelming majority of the time, nothing will happen and the time spent will be wasted.

I think ddos protection is on which in the past has broken it.

But you don't have to. They are perfectly open about this.

That's my assumption as well.

Numbers are down and have been going down for quite some time, but ever since they started doing these weapon rebalances ppl have been leaving at a faster pace. Steam charts still works and it is within the margin of error.

isn't that just an everyone who plays chart? I mean NA vs EU is pretty big XD. So if you look at steam charts for EU servers, yea it won't be off my much. But you won't know anything if you play NA like myself.

It's been in a 'dying' state since 2012 if not sooner or later.

Im exclusive to NA, im well aware of the pop issues in the game. Yes steam charts is overall but it does say how poor the pop is on APB as a whole. Ive checked and of the 500 players on APB during NA peak hrs your barely above 100 on NA itself if 100 at all. LO NEEDS to do something now or there wont be a pop when the engine comes out if it comes out.

Its been dying since 2013. The point of playing is to have fun and enjoy the game. Its impossible to tho when the community is as poor as this one is. Its saying something when a community like Fortnite is nominated for one of the best communities out there.

OK, I need to rephrase it, STILL going down hill since LO took over.

Sure that populates a silver dist and or populates fc. That small group allows for variety of people to face instead of the same ones over and over.

Why EU has more players than america?
