Trendspotting: POE Playerbase almost halved on Steam alone since the release of Awakening
" I noticed this as well. I was inactive for a long time and came back for awakening to find the forums less active, was kind of surprising. |

" Yes, but much of what has fallen off is the shitposting we used to see. Support has been pretty active enforcing the new, more detailed forum guidelines, and those posters who couldn't or wouldn't hack it have given up posting. I wouldn't say the forum is perfect, but it's a lot better, in some ways, than it used to be, including the absence of many trolls and gadflies. =^[.]^= =^[.]^= basic (happy/amused) cheetahmoticon: Whiskers/eye/tear-streak/nose/tear-streak/eye/

Yeah, it's not so fun to sit in town waiting for lag to subside. It worked initially but now it's getting really old.

It's summer.
Probably on vacation. | |

Now that I see that there are only 17k-20k Steam players that happen to play at the same time I do, I'm not sure I can enjoy playing anymore.
Things on Steam looked much better at the 1 month point after SotV where things were sitting at 10K online. Then the Masters expansion came out and after a month the game had about 12K online. The downward trend seems pretty clear. It's too bad there are no more non steam players to hold the game afloat. ;) Lighten up guys. "I would have listened... I would have understood!" - Scion
Have you removed Asus ROG/GameFirst yet? |

" Back then ? "mostly" dedicated ARPG players that got sucked in with the "hardcore" sales pitch ... "mostly" being the word to focus on. =P Ahhh,back "then" high end content was accessible without having to jump through hoops and the only thing required was the nads to take up the challenge. Back "then" trading was a Mexican standoff on the beach .... oddly enough even when trading with "friends". lol Back "then" gear didn't roll useless mods that have zero support from the passive tree and the passive tree itself was a far greater source of character development than the current iteration. Back "then" POE was an ARPG. =P Just teasing. EDIT: And yes I'd give GGG my firstborn to go back "then" ... but that's not legal so here I am. hahha Last edited by Temper on Aug 10, 2015, 10:36:48 PM

The steam chart is bit weird shows a slow gradual decline, kind what you would expect after free respecs and new content. The numbers they state show an increase from one month to the next.

Looks pretty successful to me.
