Maplestory population

[ah_puch]

Maplestory has more than twice the players of the supposedly "big" mmo Guild Wars 2. That's either a very impressive accomplishment for Maplestory or a humiliating state of affairs for GW2 addicts. I vote both

If you're only looking at steam charts you're dead wrong.

Both MapleStory and GW2 had their own launchers before coming to Steam and Steam only counts people who play well, through Steam while other launchers are just not taken into account.

Both GW2 and MapleStory have more players than what Steam shows however keep in mind that GW2 received its Steam Store release way, way later than MapleStory did so most people just stick to the launcher

Umm.... You know that both game have their own launcher to play their game from out side of steam launcher right. Steam do not count for other user playing out of steam.

I don't need to install maple story on steam when I already have it on my nexon launcher it self.

maplestory is currently almost at max population 40 channels almost all full of players

if you play maplestory you understand how populated Reboot server is to the point is affecting the actual server stability, im guessing atm maplestory has reach teh same population it had in the mid 2000s.

This person has serious issues, either he's getting paid to talk trash about guild wars 2 or he got banned for cheating etc and this is some personal vendetta and finally, maybe hes just a very sad and extremely bored person. There's no other explanation.
People at new world and ESO forums pretty much told him to go away, it's funny seeing how other mmo communities tell this guy to stop trolling but he's obsessed with guild wars demise, just look at his posts history, it's nothing but anti-gw2 propaganda.

He can't interpret steamcharts data properly, he think's there's only 1.5k or 3k players whatever is the current number at the moment of viewing the chart but fails to realize it only shows concurrent players, means that number of people at 2pm are not the same at 6pm and daily peak doesn't mean total number of players who logged in during the day which is much more than 1, 2, 3k ettc then he completely ignores the fact that gw2 had his own launcher and playerbase for 10 years before the steam release back in august 2022.

It's a case of the invincible ignorance fallacy which is deductive fallacy of circularity where the person in question simply refuses to believe the argument, ignoring any evidence given. strawman arguments and false attribution because he appeals to an irrelevant, unqualified, unidentified, biased, or fabricated sources with the whole purpose of making gw2 look bad.

That being said, i don't know why this thread should be relevant for the Maplestory community, this is non-productive content and disrispecful for both the maplestory and gw2 players.

Imagine having 53% less players than Maplestory AND be desperate enough to come here to spread lies about Guild Wars 2's non existent population. So sad, GW2 community has become a meme at this point.

Hmm.... You still want to push this ideal of yours. Google tell me completely difference story. It proven you wrong. All I really did was ask google about it. Both game have a website count number of play logging.

Base on this website google show me. Guild War 2 have total 13,768,092 player logging in 30 days.

Base on this website google show me. Maple Story have total 226,755 player logging in 30 days.

Tbh it's far easier to multi-account/multi-alt if you use different launchers but I also code test as well & such so, yeah... I've tried GW2 before though on both launchers and way too many things were frustratingly broken for me to stay with it for long. I kept wanting to take things apart and fix them Also, you will never get an accurate count on server pop because of the literal difference between ISP/login servers & load balancers no matter which site you pull data from.

Same can be said for maple story for people logging in many mules account to bot advertising.

Kind a think of it. I do remember Maple Story use to have more server channel name. We use to have 15 server difference server name. Now it is only 6 server name. Even maple story have their own problem. There was some thing about a boss fight that aloud 30 or 100 player in one area. In a way server that can't handle it.

There was some old bug on character moves that can crash their own game too. I pretty sure it was Angelic Buster was one of them during that times before it was fix after.
