I've been noticing not as many players, especially at peak times.  The highest I've seen is around 9500.  I thought i read somewhere WG was splitting the NA server??  Or is there another reason?

 

Has anyone noticed a reduction in players...or am I just getting senial?

The NA server was split a while ago into two servers to handle the traffic, but they are linked, you will never notice the difference. As far as player base, the only difference I notice is that more and more non English speakers are playing. I hope WG has a way to handle this.

I would assume they will address it the same way they did for the non-English speakers on the EU server. They will ignore it.

North America comprises 23 countries and nine sovereign territories. Included spoken languages of populations over at least a million in North America is 8, English and Spanish being the top two. Heck, some people who have English as a first language barely know how to make coherent sentences let alone spell correctly. So, not much to get handle on, is there? Turn off in game chat? 

Cheers!

I believe there are multiple queues per sever.

Both NA_P1 and NA_P2 use the same IP that leads to a location in San Francisco.

 

 

Apparently they're two different clusters? Maybe someone with more technical knowledge can explain.

9500 is pretty high for peak.  I wouldn't be shocked to see this continue to decline with each patch and dislike with the game overall.  This game only attracts new people who dabble in mobile shooter games and then leave after 5k or less battles and retains only "gamblers", tank game addicts and bot's who press "Battle" 40-100k in a row and then proceed to lick the screen clean.

I traced both to the same IP I posted in San Francisco. Same server, different clusters, whatever that means. I assume everyone connects to the same place but obviously I only tested from my location.

The player base isn't down on Steam. In fact, it just set a new record in May

Steam doesn't account for Mobile players only PC.  Learn to read a chart..it may have peaked one day at 26k in May (oddly enough May 3/4..event?)..however the average of 14k peak per day declines a bit every day.

Your IP trace ends at the linky hub thing WG uses to get to Chicago. 

  Mine for the same ends in Reston VA (where it was prior to Chicago). 

 

WG has setup several of these hubs across the country (perhaps continent).
