Who cares? If u see the game was OVERHYOPED and HYPED was gone after 2 Months. Steamcharts stil usueless.
People should stop compare the HYPE Start. Every Game since over 10 years got ALOT of player on Release and droped through the months/years.
If you care so much about “population” go walk with the HYPE TRAIN.
ders no way to sugarcoat this
game suffers with retention.
I think hes trying to say that with the new tripod system, you cant get your first 6 tripods for free anymore. By free I mean you can save 6 max lvl tripods u got from chaos dungeon etc into your tripod inv with 100% success rate, after the changes you have to RNG them as the inventory is removed.
So that means for new classes coming out or new players who started after the tripod changes, it is certainly worse for the initial 6 tripods.
Furthermore, as all the legion raids and non open world content are instanced, it doesn’t make a big diff whether 200k people played or 2billion, as long as you have some people playing, the instance caps you at 4 or 8 players anyway, more players just means more instances that you never see.
It will make a difference to how often content is created though coz more players = more revenue for SG to pump more content.
Quiter gonna quit no matter what
Come on, SG in Korea is so weak that they don’t even understand anything. I thought they were made by an outsourced team, because AGS said that they and SG have been researching new ways to punish robots for a long time, but the robots haven’t changed for half a year, so SG is a team with zero effects.
unfortunately i do care about popularity, cuz this is a mmo, you need players in order to progress the game, if more people keep quitting faster than the gains then the game is doomed before you get to akkan
"Doomed " 
And Yes but i tell u this, just play and have fun and then its the “doomed” time i gues just go on?
What should we do? we cant do anything?
I have bring in the last 3 weeks 8 new player to this game. And they enjoy it. So i enjoy it.
I cant watch in the future so for now “just play!”.
its like a when u try a cut stone and fails 3 times in a row when its says “%75”. hmhm.
dude almost %60 of there its bots.
I think op is from the future.
OP might actually be a time traveller
nah getting lucky with title but from absolute wrong reason doesn’t count.
yeah but you know, you cant state real reasons, otherwise it will fuck the time line, ags could have read it so they would make a change result as the tittle wouldnt be true anymore, anw it was /s
My name is better
You can always transfer it to yourself for a small fee of a bajillion pheons. Hopefully you are playing during 4am-6am if you want freebies.
tryna be nice
Rumor 50-80K players left, divided up into 5 regions (AVG 10-16K legitimate players per region)
Long-term game was a colossal failure but short term financial success
I think if Lost Ark was a mobile game would’ve been better received by the West. The RNG, P2W, Pheons, Gacha, Time gates, lack of horizontal content expected. As a connoisseur of KR MMORPGs not phased at all been warning people of there BS since launch. Enjoy the ride and experience and accept game for what it is. I think the west were not expecting to play a Mobile Game MMO nor were they expecting 1st exposure to a KR MMORPG to be well this. West does not respect the grind if its pointless. Grind for 1 week for 3 weapon taps fail. Basically 14hrs of grinding per week to fail 1-3 weapon taps “Respect your time”
The game IS good, but the monetization was not westernized enough for Global Release. The fate of most KR MMORPGs with a western release.
hmmm seems like ags is punishing players for their mess up… so its already starting… thats such a disappointment
Well… About that
Of course, all games that are dishonest and careless to the players are doomed to die. People come to these forums to express their criticism for a mistake made by a company and guess what, they are penalized again. They don’t care, they don’t give the answers the players expect, instead they tell lies. I think a player base between 50k 80k is divided into 5 regions and there are more players in some regions which is still quite small. but after the brelsehaza excitement is over, the player population will continue to decline. Remember, they don’t care about us, if our ideas and money are of no value to them, why should we own this game? we are not stupid. Even if the game dies, I won’t be sad. gets what he deserves.
bro bro another forum thread talking bout population numbers
My eyes popped holy shit man lol
In less than a year my goodness if this not a fuck up idk what is lol
Not even Tera fell off this hard it took almost 2 years gat dam
Think we all gunna have to reconsider I mean Diablo 4 and other modern games that use Unreal 5 engine aka better optimization etc. games coming out. Like if the population keeps shrinking this literally only going to be a game for whales. And the whales keep quitting like Juiced parties b4 tripod update were skipping Mario 3-4. AFTER 
like they must be bore as fuck. Oh man this frog update and lower barrier entry to Argos that we were asking for should’ve occurred months ago. Case in point my guild got a friend irl to play game. Hes used to seasonal resets join whenever exp content. His exact words, “I’m not going to spend money on a game if I don’t know if I enjoy it yet.” Um yeah…another new player doesn’t even play because nobody ques for T1/T2 and complained that it takes too long. We know how it is 1st impression.
Lets be honest here, if we want new people to join we need 1460 boofs, free 4x3, and an express pass for 3 characters all occurring at same time. 1 time deal for new accounts. That way they can earn the gold needed to build up a roster. Shit 50-80K was not far off lol Kanon was right on the money gat dam lol
Yes was that bored, but
I think AGS and SG should talk to you know the community directly
