Started with 3 and it’s down to me. However, it might just be that they’re busy with IRL stuff since I know they had stuff going on, as opposed to disliking the game. Now in our guild, it’s 2 inactive players, and 5 active players… all of them are me and my alts… I’ll leave eventually but that penalty for leaving though.
Edit: Also love Angel Beats! btw.
all? ahhahahhaa the ones who left the game are the ones who don’t like MMO and in each new hype they try the game and leave. My friends who like MMO stick around, and they all agree that this is one of the best mmorpgs ever made.
Started with 7, I’m the only one that still plays. One of my friends held out longer mostly playing pvp but couldn’t stand the random ranked ques.
None have returned, none intend to return.
I’m in my 3rd guild so far and it too has essentially dissolved.
We started as 6.
3 active and 1 semi active left.
Why does every Post with numbers gets spammed with bot bullshit?
We started with ~25 guys from our New world guild… Burned down to 3 people. Luckily i met some guys i knew from New world as well so now we regrouped to like 8 people doin valtan, argos and other stuff together… No one came back for valtan, glavier or destro btw 
None of my OG Group(5 People) left so far, nearly all of us are now at 1445.
You must be inhaling copium right now, I don’t think Lost Ark even have 100k real playerbase currently.
Looking at the steam chart at May 24th to May 26th the player count is a flatline, and any online game with a healthy playerbase would have a heartbeat player count.
I started playing with 3 other friends. By now all of them left (tho they just wanted to try it out and see what the hype is about)
But i just looked for a new guild when they all left and now i just have 30+ new friends who are all discord active and im having an absolute blast.
When all ur friends left the game, try to find a new guild/friendgroup. The guildleaving penalty is not gonna go away, just take it and start looking. Nothing is more awful than nonstop solo PUGing in an mmo if u actually want to see some content.
Hmm. I stopped playing because I disliked the „endgame“. It somehow doesn’t feel rewarding to hone… eeh fail all the time and then to only unlock another raid (which is harder, which is cool but it requires to have dedicated people that won’t stop after a few fails and the community is pretty toxic in that regard because everyone is a pro and played LA before and insults others that are new and need to learn things first) but at the same time getting locked out of the old content which then minimizes the whole available content for that character. Which means, to enjoy every raid / abyssal dungeon, you need to have several characters at T1, T2 and T3 plus the fact that I don’t enjoy to play more than 2 max 3 characters. Oh and the lack of gear sets are a huge disappointment for me too especially not being able to take your old set with you into a higher Tier (looking at you crit Chance / damage sets). But hey, atleast the intro boys like me are gone now, those that only followed the hype and of course, the amount of players are „real“ players too.
not that easy. ive been through 20 guilds since launch now and theyre all dead. ive also inherited 5 guilds now from inactivity. I even pick the highest level guild on the roster and it turns out to just be like 1-3 active players left. They need to start being aggressive about pruning all the dead guilds or something so we can start getting solid full guilds again
it’s his 40alt 
All friends quit and I quit too. This game isn’t worth the time, why play chore ark when there are many other games to play. Not to mention this game has some new controversy every week haha
I got more lost ark friend than my real life… their name are pppojssslsjjg. kasdklaknsdnasd, gngugqiug, naosnfasuf, fuqnwdunuqd, gjngkgnoqngqgw and more. Meanwhile they always stay with me when i doing chaos dungeon… and running around cheer me up and some of them even whispering message me about “USD1 for 1000 gold” hahaha
This made me smile. Thank you haha.
In my opinion, this post is very disingenuous.
I personally feel as though this post was written with the angle of shifting blame over to players or, namely, “our friends” who no longer play the game. Worst of all, OP makes a broad stroke generalization that it’s all based on the hype train.
I could be very wrong here as we all know that intent and inflection don’t carry well over texts, emails, forum posts etc. However, posts like these do nothing but wrongly paint remaining players as some type of hero for putting up with the mismanagement of Amazon and the general culture of Eastern MMOs.
I personally got to 1400 before Valtan came out and simply stepped away from the game because it was giving me predatory monetization feelings. Had nothing to do with hype or Amazon mismanagement. The Eastern MMO culture was what did it for me.
I honestly don’t even know why I typed all this, but that feeling OP gave me of “Intro Boys are gone, only the Big Juicer Gamers are left and we’re better for it” irked me a bit.
Have a great weekend.
I started around 3 weeks ago, I’m on EU west so might not be like this on all servers but there is hardly any new players to do low end content , so Devs better do good job at keeping those still playing
Started with 3 lost one of those to internal drama but he’s still playing by himself, we gained 5 people so we are up to 8 people. Just sad that they started late so we only have 4 currently doing valtan.
Couldn’t agree more with this statement . Job/Chore ark + controversies
