Its not towering above WoW of course. That game is the king of mmos. I said the only game on Twitch that out ranks Black Desert is WoW. Black Desert is much more popular than FFXIV.
Pearl Abyss started their official service of Black Desert Online (BDO) on January 17th in Thailand and Southeast Asia. The title is being serviced directly by Pearl Abyss, and the company is cooperating with Level Up Games, a partnered local company, for marketing and management in the region.
The very first launch in South Korea was in December 2014, and now BDO is being serviced in 12 different languages across more than 150 countries and 10 regions, including Japan, Russia, NA, EU, and Taiwan. The number of registrations exceeded 3 million in NA and EU, and the title was nominated as the best MMORPG for the years of 2016 and 2017 by MMORPG.com. The title is also planned to launch on mobile and console as well. |
Yes, I am very much aware of the Twitch fad when it comes to "most played". We saw this happening with PuB, then FN, but then LoL championships started and well, that become "the most played". You can only be the most played and talk of the town for so long before something else takes the top spot and all the gossip.
Going by FFXIV's count: 12,074,001

BDO: 17,075 (current) - All time highest peak: 27,969

When you decide to include Steam chart numbers, it still doesn't manage to add up to going well beyond what FFXIV has.
Also, the game is far from perfect and has had surrounding conflict with players and how the game operates.
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
