Also, there's this.

According to the data, POE has settled in at a higher equilibrium of persistent players. So I'd say they are doing fine, really. It'll never be a massively popular game because it serves a fanatical, niche audience (I'm glad at least someone does).

You have a healthy mix of hardcore players that always stick around and then you've got professionals or people with families like my wife an I, who will hop in during the evenings after we get home from work and the kids are down and try to make some progress on the newest hardcore league. Once our main characters get killed off, we wait for the next league. Each season we always spend some money too, so as long as people keep paying and the average number of players steadily increases, POE should be fine.

Holy shit, you're the guy, o god yes thank you. You're the first person who linked these steam charts and understood that that massive drop is normal and when comparing with other games it's the equilibrium at the bottom, which should be considered, and that actually goes up every league.

Yeah, and I actually find POE's inbuilt cyclical nature appealing. It's exciting to look forward to the next league. That sense of "do or die" in hardcore leagues really gives the game a sense of urgency. Usually, after all my characters have died off, I'll end the league pre-maturely, take a break, and feel like I'm ready to go once the next one rolls around.

Overall, I love POE's model, and I'm glad to see that the game is continuing to gain steam.

Let's face it the PoE community is dying!

Stopped reading there.

Edit: I skimmed the article now (took me 5s or so, speed meta *rolls eyes*) and it is obviously *le* joke. I hope you had fun writing it.

... every single expansion, PoE reaches a new record of simultaneous players.

... three months into every single expansion, people stop playing because there's not much left to do except wait for new league or patches.

... also three months into every single expansion, people like you post random diatribes about how PoE is dying because there aren't enough simultaneous users in the off-season.

Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?

Mine died before Turmoil.



Bwahahahaha!

PoE is like a tree every fall she looks like shes dying, every winter it looks dead, every spring and summer she blooms like crazy

the start of the league is spring into summer, the back half of the league is fall/winter

but no matter what the tree looks like it is still alive, its just in a different phase.

so yeah the game is cyclical but not dying

Well... I just skimmed the text, look at the last part with Dogecoins and Exalts.
We have at least 3 options here:

1. OP is trolling/joking
2. OP has to learn a lot (about active players vs league age)
3. Both options above
Note that OP may have some points where he is right but I dunno since I just skimmed the text.

@Siegelayer: I just disassembled and cleaned my laptop too, doing that every league now. Thermal paste had to be replaced this time too, laptops are a pain compared to desktop PCs.

The reasons this post is extremely dumb and uninformed and no one should take it seriously

1.poe is Dying GGG pls halp
the playerbase was at its largest in 3.0 and is only growing
seriously where is the community missing from that you can't find are you only logging in to standard and during the last days of the race when a league is dead


2.make the game more like blank blank and blank
the reason I still play poe is because I haven't been able to find a single game like it its completely unique even though it should just be a diablo clone
nobody gives a crap about wow raids,lineage 2,maplestory or C9[whatever that is] funny how all those games you mentioned POE should be like are the ones actually dying and losing players, the mmorpg model is toast speaking of which the SSF ladder is the most praised addition and you not getting that and being deluded thinking poe is an MMO is hilarious

3.I know how the game works listen to me
which is not true in the slightest you complain about the fact that there's no locked differences in classes until ascendancy which is the WHOLE POINT TO THE CLASSES
and saying the game forces you to run anger/hatred and a herald and the game is literally unplayable otherwise which is funny because the damage from those Aura's combined are about 25 percent
