69k peak now 42k peak

[Hei Gui]

Since the original got locked lmao. Big decline. By the time september update rolls out, maybe only 30k players loool

[BimboGooch]

nice, you can count

[MugHug]

Yep, active player numbers are steadily going down instead of stabilizing.

[Varivox]

eh... that's not really the important number.

Of course the game's biggest peak is going to be on launch, but the important number is the "retention" number. Are all those players leaving?

If you look at steam charts, the average number of players has only declined 3% in the last month. Going from 40k average players on launch to ~39k average players is nothing.

I mean, I look from the outside at this game and see nothing that appealing. I've no real investment here, but credit where credit is due, the game only lost 3% average players and the loss in the "peak" numbers is expected.

(just go look at DOTA2's numbers. Peak is 1.2 million players, but the current peak is only at half that... yet the game still averages 400-500k each month. So, hardly a "failure" worth calling out.)

Just look at games like Path of Exile for exemple, each league (Major udate every 3/4 mounth) there is a Major Spike of players (like 120k) but at the end of the first mounth, almost 30% (Up to 80% in mounth 3) of the player base stoped playing, waiting for ne next major Update/League

Yep, active player numbers are steadily going down instead of stabilizing the typical retention one would hope to see.

The data indicates a downward trend since launch, in the number of active players since August 6th. At the beginning we were seeing a peak of active players of over 70,000 and now we are down to approx. 40,000.

And with nearly a month's worth of data, it is hard to argue against what the numbers show. And six months from launch how much further will they have dropped.

And that is typical of such games - hack and slash RPG.

Bless Unleashed is suppose to be a different beast - a MMORPG.

Best to compare BU to another proper MMORPG.

At this rate they will outnumber the server population.

to be honest i dont really care about the population, its just that the obsession on player population become rly funny on this point i mean i play other MMORPG that have smaller player base than this one, but no one is so obsessed with the player population

Yeah the average has remained steady and this is the most important stat. These posts are just made to predict doom and gloom.

I bet you think it's funny when NA lost ch 5 too dummy

[Rogue]

The next 30 days average will be much lower without the release player spike. Likely 25k average next month I think.

[Hei Gui]

im going to laugh when story missions that require arenas like gnoll triumvirate have players quitting cuz they can't fill 2/2 player requirement

Oh I know I can count. Sucks you can't understand context. Your game's dying buddy. Time to replace those knee pads
