Garena TW Announced 7 Million Players Worldwide

Made a little research about items selling on poe.xyz.is and poedb.tw respectively -


Apep's Rage
standard - 47
rampage - 49(34)
hardcore - 1
beyond - 15

standard - 99+(38)
rampage - 13
hardcore - 0
beyond - 3


Dreamfeather
standard - 39
rampage - 35
hardcore - 0
beyond - 25

standard - 84(18)
rampage - 2
hardcore - 0
beyond - 1


Cherrubim's Maleficence
standard - 70(41)
rampage - 72
hardcore - 0
beyond - 23

standard - 99+(39)
rampage - 11
hardcore - 0
beyond - 1

(Numbers in brackets are items with bo. Items chosen here are 1.2 patch newly-added uniques to make less disparity in comparison of availabilities.)

Several conclusions can be drawn from these observations -

- Garena-tw server has no-less total players than international sever
- Garena-tw server has unhealthy player distribution among its leagues
- players are less prone to give bo in Garena-tw server(~20%) than in international sever(~50%)


Edit - Add hardcore results. Both severs see few hardcore league players :(

I think the best observation you can make about those numbers is that Garena players prefer standard league where they can farm forever as opposed to the challenge leagues.

Its either that or their search engine for items is not as widely used/known, though if you used these numbers as your only basis it would be fair to say that Garena players are not as interested in challenge leagues. I would have liked if you included the numbers for just normal HC mode instead of just standard, but its alright I guess.

ＧarenaTW Standard league started at 8/14 and Rampage league started at 9/18. Most players won't move to Rampage because they are too closed.

I love this kind of threads, it shows that PoE is successful and at the same time delivers some butthurt from Team Jaded :3

Great information about the discrepancy. Hope more players will join the next pair of challenge leagues.

PoE is an awesome game to grow from nothing to this. No mainstream press liek all big titles get no distributors, no posters plastered all over gamestop. I'm impressed. PoE 2 should be huge.
