Uh 9 But posting in the Matrix web site in the SPWaw forum might not be the best place to gage the number of players. Go start a AOL chat room and let us know how many people enter not wearing leather and carrying a whip or sheep under one arm. (SPWaW does sound kind of kinky)The important question for this location would be how many want to go online and kick some butt since the full power of this game is lost if not played against another human.

11 I suppose. Downloaded whole game and videos and upgrades with 56k modem. Three nights contiunessly, received the bill, he-he: ) Bad thing I was eager to get this game, great game, but it looked like it was only way to get in Finland.

Finland must be as far as Chile, also known as the end of the land, you know, "Fin" translates to "End" in spanish.
And i downloaded SPWAW with a 33.6 conection !
If only more spanish speakers were playing SPWAW !

Are we talking about just "players", or total SPWaW addicts? If the latter - count me in!

[Wild Bill]

I'm not privy to the figures. I have heard that downloads alone have exceeded 60,000. That figure was before 4.0.

In addition, the number of people who got it and play it through PC Gamer or Computer Gaming World is only a guess.

So what would your guess, 80,000+ who have given it a try? That sounds like a lot to me

well 18 now , and I know about 3 other more that play the game since SP1 ;o) ...
I'm from Portugal ( that little (PROUD) strip of land west of Spain ), and I took my copies of SPWAW at work in a 56k Connection in a weekend and in the midlle of the night ... how's that for addict????

[Desert Fox]

Allright, 60000 sounds like a big number, but how many of those were started and aborted later for one reason or another? How many of those were people downloading it again, for whatever reason? And how many people downloaded it, but don't play it anymore?
I am going to guess that we should probably assume more like 30000 play the game. Not that anyone should be disappointed by that number, its still pretty damn impressive for an engine older than the OS running it.
