I don't know where you're getting that info from. Steam version plays on the exactly same servers as the standalone launcher.
It also has a average of 1,5k on steam and more on stand-alone, which is more than enough since there is only a very small number of servers.
I'd you don't play during the night or in very odd hours, there is always enough players online for fun and engaging battles.

Still playing it after 10 years. Had maybe 2 breaks of a few months in those years but there is just nothing like it. Especially in the early years on Miller you had team play on a massive scale with an entire command structure.

This is so fake. Every time I've logged onto this game there have been full servers with hundreds of people. They even lock every continent except for one now so all the players are matched together.

It used to be 1000's as the game was designed and balanced around that...

I'm sure there were. I remember watching that event they had for the largest game of Planetside 2 ever.
But these game can only last for so long. They need to make a third one in Unreal 5.

There is no money for it. They have a skeleton crew updating the game for a peak of 4-5K players a day.
Personally I think it's a real shame there is no interest in these type of games anymore.

Agreed, honestly the issue with Planetside 2 was it was always a strain on the hardware of its time.
I remember having 2x GTX 580's in Sli and it ran horrifically. I think if I'm packing that and running into issues I can only imagine what others with less capable hardware put up with.
I stuck around for 6 months or so, but not the years I did on the original.

I mean I think there is certainly some interest still but I don't think Planetside 2 has the best looking aesthetics or the most enjoyable gameplay. I think if it looked and felt more like Titanfall or something it would be more popular.

Basically dead. I know this because I play both. I like the community, but most PlayStation players have moved to PC.
Did you tank at all with Vanu?

I enjoyed my time with the game, but PS1 was much better. I play on the PSForever server occasionally, it only has a handful of people and it's broken often but during events and anniversaries, there can be up to 100 people logged on and fighting like the good ol' days. FPS mechanics are very dated, but there has been no game quite like it - even PS2 was a huge step backward in terms of the global (galactic?) war.

Tanking yeah, that's what call it. Magrider actually has a decent weapon now. Charge weapon that two shots a Prowler. Velocity is slow and it takes several seconds to charge but if played right its awesome.

ah, this sure brings back some memories. used to play PS1 for a while and I also messed around with PS2 for a long time. it definitely is fun to play but as a solo player I just can't really do much that I could feel is impactful. unlocked a bunch of stuff in PS2 but ended up quitting the game around the space station update.
side note: I was a Vanu back then. did they ever make Vanu weapons have a better and more clear identity?

They have base construction now which can be a gamecharger. We were taking bases the other night when an enemy engineer built a base next to our large battle behind a hill and the enemy started pulling vehicles from it and we were annihilated. There was one or two engineers doing it and suddenly 50% of the enemy spawns started coming from a completely different direction and drove a wedge between our armor column lol. Nightmare, over 100 people were killed in less than 3 minutes.

This is a fun game but it's very hard to get into. I joined a crew and although they were cool, it ended up like joining the military 
so I just abandoned it.

I just open the map and find an armor column and join up with them without enlisting in their group. I don't bother with military orders because they can't speak to me, only my friends. They send squad invites and I just use them to ride along to battles. Lol
