First, there are the raw numbers. }
Those in the audience. This is the metric to the old, the metric of quantity. More than half a million visitors, 417,000 players (who went beyond the camp at the entrance to the gaming city) and 22,000 « big » players who visited Fort McMoney top to bottom, enrolled , debated. A year later, between 150 and 300 players come every day, with points on Monday during the posting of new episodes.
There are many comments, around 7000, published in a short time (two months) by nearly two thousand players ; the overwhelming majority of the French (who love to debate, as everyone knows :-)
Then there was the press.
On one hand, « the critically acclaimed » ...

But above all there is ... player feedback !
It is the assessment « qualitative », that of the era when the work escapes its creators to live his beautiful life. Is that, in part, which measures the interactive impact. One that gives most want to dive again.
A huge thank you to all those who have made Fort McMoney a crazy adventure ; and exhausting. And soon, therefore, the balance of the ten errors Fort McMoney. To be continued :-)
