ONE MILLION active players

Reading that just blew my mind... I had no idea that there were so many POE players.

Sure, a lot of them might have played for 10 minutes and uninstalled, but even still, what if just 25% of active players played at least once a week... that's still a quarter of a million players.

Kicking ASS!

Three years on and Path of Exile is still going from strength to strength. It added two expansions in 2016 alone, had one million active players in December and saw a 44% increase in total playtime relative to 2015.

Well, active players means people constantly playing... People not logging in would make them...inactive.

Good point... even more impressive!

It's so awesome to see a game GROW dramatically over time... As opposed to launching with massive numbers and then dwindling over time (eg Blizzard). A testiment to the fact that POE is a ******* good game.

Well China is a big market and they are killing it there for some time now. Its a different realm than ours though.

just imagine if POE had dope PvP...

True there isnt official release in china, but wasnt their open beta realm launched some months ago? Cause they have ladders and breach leagues there too.

Im currently watching this interview with Chris and he is saying that they actually had 1+ million active players in December NOT counting servers that are outside their control (with several hundreds of players as he mentions).

Thats indeed impressive, and the number is way higher than the one i had in mind (around 150-200k). Gratz to GGG, got way bigger in a very short time.

That really surprised me, I had no idea poe grew so large, with 3.0 and the declining wow playebase that BLiizard decided to hide the number of players they might even take over wow, D3 is a no contest state even with the necro.

PoE taking over D3 was never a question of if, but when.
