The multiplayer player base isn't going to be very big, considering not many people even know this game is being made.
I see people talking about bannerlord everywhere. Basically the entirety of 4chan is aware of mount and blade and anyone who's subscribed to any of the big strategy gaming youtube channels (several million people) is going to have seen gameplay videos. This isn't even counting the current multiplayer community which is still fairly active compared to a lot of PC multiplayer games.
What about the average consumer who didn't play Warband? Unless you actively search out info on Bannerlord, there is nothing. They could let Bannerlord be played by various YouTubers, which works pretty well, or release more info on Steam.
I also hope Bannerlord gets new players. I never player Warband MP in my 600+ hours because I've heard the community is toxic and nasty. If it's just the same people in BL, then no thanks. They need to actively reach out to new customers, which they are not doing. The game won't sell itself, I guarantee it. TW aren't Rockstar and Bannerlord isn't Battlefield (I know R* didn't make BF).
