Nexus reaches 750,000 registered members

  • Comment
It's milestone time again, and a couple of days back TESNexus (and now FO3Nexus!) reached the 750,000 registered members mark. The last milestone of 500,000 members was reached on January 2nd 2008, the 250,000 member milestone was reached on October 13th 2006 and the 100,000 member milestone was reached on the 30th of March 2006, so registration rates are increasing.

The recent launch of FO3Nexus helped to more than douple the daily registration numbers from 800 new members a day up to 1800 new members registering each and every day and thus speed up the march to this latest milestone. The next one is a biggy, the big one million!

Sadly I missed the actual milestone date because I was busy sorting out all the server move issues, that are now resolved, so it's a nice "trophy" to top off a successful and worthwhile server move. Thanks everybody.

    Amazing milestone for an over 2 year old game,eh? Other makers of games should sit up and take notice...you give players the ability to improve it, and the game has a longer life and may even INCREASE in popularity. It's also a way to keep the gamemaker's company in the public eye and thus build trust in the company as a whole.

    Hope they don't release a stinker in the future to cash in on their brand. Most companies do that.



    That is the greatest thing about Bethesda, they rely almost entirely on their reputation to sell their games. Unlike other developers they do not run sweeping ad campaigns to build hype they simply state their plans and we the fans hype the hell out of it for them. They are a company founded and run by gamers like us and although we do not actually carry them (we only account for about 20%), If we were not here they would not be where they are today because when the other 80% logs on to the WWW and hunts up Bethesda or any of their games WE, The Bethesda Game Modding Community are what they see. I have no doubt in my mind that The Nexus is largely responsible for the enormous growth in the last two years with lots of console>PC converts. Our Community is nothing short of miraculous and to be without the hands down best file host in the world would be...I can not say it but think about it, no one else even comes close. You would think that somebody would have copied the format by now.

    Que sera sera , no body ever said the world was full of geniuses. Thanks again Robin.

    All I can say is: THANK YOU for all the hard work in providing this site. My hope is more people would realize how much longevity your site has given to Oblivion and become premium members.

    Kudos to the whole site (hits giant Kudos button)!!!!

    Yeah, it has been tested that Oblivion creates addiction and is very dangerous for people that like games.

    Unfortunately, If you were to just go on the forums you'd think the nexus was in decline. All the RP topics are stagnant, and most other topics only have the same few people posting. Leaving the warm bubble of the Oblivion section you find the forum to be only about 50 regular posters.


    I'm not sure I was entirely right. Rather I think that the forums are stagnating, with the same few people posting. Of course, having a lot of people en the forums can ruin them, by destroying the feeling of knowing everyone. A few other forums I've been on are too large, and there are a cliques that are generally unfreindly and intimidating, and everyone else don't know eachother online. But, it would be nice if there were a few new faces. Our lingual duels in the lounge can be a bit boring after a while.

    eventualy everyone will be a member of a Nexus Site, whether it be Fallout 17 or TES XXVIII (you all know it's gonna happen!)


    I can see it now, an aging Robin Scott tells his wife, I'll be down to dinner in a minute dear, I just have to make sure the 50+ TB of data on the Nexus Network is backed up and available to all of it's 30 million members. Oh and I really need to post that article I wrote on the pros and cons of Bethesda's upcoming full featured CS which is being released for their Star Trek open universe RPG
