Strange steamchart player number graph

[Pozzy Vibes GGHF :)]

Why does Lost ark never dip below 170k at any hour of the day? I know this game is highly engaging, and players choose to leave the game on even while working for role play reasons, but it seems very strange. What could be the reason?

[Dragonmaster]

2 reasons.
1st - Bots. Game Does have a bit of a bot population
2nd - Timezones. Game is worldwide thus EU times blunt the valleys slightly.

The human population has been roughly 70-100k (shown by multiple extrapolations after major maint. days

Go compare lost ark on steam charts to other games, lost ark is like 90% bots.

There are about 150k bots and 30k players. That's the reality of it. It is Bot Ark after all.

source plz. I mean, its already proven otherwise but your source would be nice to see. Or is it just a feeling you have. The 70-100k value of real players has been known for quite some time based on actual science of the chart around maintence days after major banwaves and new prevention measures put in place. Plenty of proof has been provided with these numbers.

But by all means, lets hear your source and proof of information.

Not debating theres bots but the numbers that people pull out of thin air is just lol worthy. Plus looks like the forum trolls that have spent the last year in an unofficial forum for a game they hate are still around too. Just putting that out there too. Some of these have not played the game in a year, continue to hate the game and think they actually know everything and instead of playing a game and being part of a community of a game they like just shows the type of people some of these trolls in this forum are. Its pretty sad honestly. Lol worthy but sad.

It's all speculation at this point but like the person above, 70-100K are real players as this has been proven after maintenance and other sources with the charts, the game has bots but I feel it's overblown at this point by people who don't play the game and just want to stir up some drama.

I hardly see bots in my server, there's a few here and there but nothing like it was when the game was going through it's first launch stages etc.

[TigerTT]

Because this game is almost completely dominated by bots on the NAE side lol

I barely see any either (EUC Zinnervale), Ofc its overblown out of porportion just to "♥♥♥♥" on the game, the game dead and all that fun stuff, usual.
Kinda wish there was more so I could do Cookinig stuff easier sometimes.
It do be like that i guess?

Like i've always said, when matchmaking takes longer then 5 seconds for a guardian raid, I will maybe get concerned about the actual player count.

[Catherina]

there's bots and there's also an incompetent company that's not fixing their server instability. but i wouldn't say 90% bots cause that's pretty ridiculous thing to say. most people that are saying 90% bots are either the trolls who removed the game from their account or new players cause you'll mostly see so many bots when you first start playing the game. otherwise you'll rarely see them at endgame continents not as much as in low level areas.

-Don't forget that, like all the games on Steam charts, that is just concurrent players. So a game with, say, 100,000 concurrent players might be pushing 500,000 daily unique count for an example.

-Which makes the top 5 played games on Steam really crazy when you think of players in the millions per day. Then you see faces like fortnight and valorant might be pushing 10 million per day across all platforms. It's really crazy.

Legend says that all russians who died in ukraine turn into bots.

These are all bots! I took a look today and immediately uninstalled the game. It's no fun walking around alone and just watching bots. You won't find anyone for the dungeon or world bosses anymore either,,, I looked on three servers, the same everywhere.

Huge if true :)
