However, outside of chaos dungeons/guardian raids etc., it depends on the server's population, not the entire region, so these experiences may vary if you are on a more populated server. I've read that EU West is dying, long queues and not much on AH, they probably should never launched that region, since it was guaranteed to die down once initial hype was over. I've noticed less and less people in various events (like ghost ship, which caused this event to fail, since there were only like 4 people), and it was during evening hours, which are normally very busy.

Queues on EU Central are still pretty fast, this is true. There were many people in zones on launch, now it's just bots (although most people are using knowledge transfer now, so this was to be expected). I do know I still get matchmaking groups np in the middle of the night on EU servers so there's definitely plenty of people playing. 300k is still huge (presuming a chunk of that aren't bots too but you can never know). Not really, the launch numbers were full of bots too, so it's actually a pretty normal MMO drop off. Now that we have a breather from the bots (for a while), the numbers look much more realistic, and it's still a very popular game, just not quite as huge as it seemed.įor those of us playing, it'll be very refreshing not to se 15 Berserkers moving around in clumps, phasing through walls and similar, with the price for Blue Crystals already having dropped by 200 gold in some regions, so let's enjoy it while we can! However, the game is still one of the top played ones on Steam, currently sitting in third place with over 300,000 concurrent players.Īnd so while many like to comment on how the game's entire playerbase is bots, that is clearly not the case, but as most players already knew, a whole lot it was. Recently Amazon announced some very big bot bans coming this week, and we are now seeing the results of that, as the game's average concurrent players have gone down significantly. Lost ark has been peaking at over 800,000 concurrent players over the past week, making it the No.1 Steam game by quite a bit, but as anyone who plays the game knew, a lot of that was bots. Here's some good news for Lost Ark players as it seems Amazon's announced bot-cleansing banwave was no joke.
