The February ranking, which was the most eventful, has already ended. Last week, a game that rose by two ranks from the top 10 after a long absence appeared. Smilegate’s’Lost Arc’ is the main character. From the raid of Viakiss, the Lord of Desire, updated on the 24th, to a queue reminiscent of the initial opening with new users suddenly introduced.
‘Diablo 3’and’Diablo 2’also increased by 3 stages. The news of the new development of the Diablo series, unveiled at BlizzConline in the last week, seems to have had some impact. In particular, as’Diablo 2’appears as a remaster, the usage of the game has increased slightly as users want to recall the memories of the original before the release of Resurrection.
‘Diablo 3’started the 2.7.0 public test on the 26th. New features added in this test are the follower system reorganization and the Great Rift 1 player leaderboard change. Rather than making changes to the build, it is the addition of the follower’s equipment and follower technology to help the user, so it is said that the weight is somewhat inferior to the existing patch.
■ Lost Arc -New Legion Commander Raid Update
On the 24th, the new Legion Commander Raid’Desire Commander: Viakiss’ was updated on Lost Arc. Biakiss is the second corps commander to appear after the bombing, and is characterized by a differentiated system called desire gauge. Through patterns that organically change according to the surrounding environment, it shows more complexities than bombardment.
The Legion Commander Raid, which Lost Ark has been ambitious, is receiving great response among current users. In the case of the bomb raid, which was introduced first, the number of new users and concurrent users surged by more than 130%. The game share and usage of Viakiss also increased significantly right after the update.
On the other hand, Lost Arc is a situation where a large number of users gathered enough to recreate the server queue that appeared after the initial service and after the Season 2 update. This is not just due to the Legion Commander update. Currently, boycotts are occurring among games that have an issue due to the probability disclosure problem, and public opinion such as finding an alternative game is expected to have an influence.
The free bulletin board on the official homepage is full of new users’ information inquiries, and there is a queue to access the game without having to go to the homepage. Lost Arc Inventor is also releasing various tips for new and returning users in the booming new users.
As a result, game usage and market share increased by 0.5 times compared to the previous week, and as time goes by, word of mouth continues to rise. Lost Arc’s rise in rankings is believed to be due to the support of operations that satisfy the needs of users.
However, due to the crowded users, server queues continue to appear, and large and small issues arise in the game, which makes me feel good, but on the other hand, there are voices of concern. It is not known how long the current trend will continue, but it is expected that rapid server stabilization is needed in case of a prolonged period.
■’Mu’,’DK Online’ -New server event with significant growth support
For games that have been in service for a long time, the gap between new users and old users widens, and this can result in the game being stiff. Or it even makes the game feel stagnant. For this reason, game companies are preparing new content mixed with events as a way to bring a new breeze.
The most used method among them is the addition of new servers. While bridging the gap with old users, events that help them grow faster are introduced to new servers to attract new and returning users. As the reward is clear, it has a great effect on ranking up, and as new users continue to nurture and stay on the new server, it shows an excellent appearance in the atmosphere of the game.
MU Online, which has already reached its 20th anniversary, has opened the 2021 Speed Server to commemorate this. The speed server is characterized by being able to develop characters faster than normal servers, and that it can be transferred to a normal server at any time for free.
If you achieve level 700 on the current speed server, you can get various rewards in the game. We are holding an event to support additional benefits if you transfer your character to the new server Kairos, which is scheduled to open on March 4. It is a good situation for new and returning users to start with various rewards if they grow faster than anyone on the speed server and move to a new server.
Thanks to this, Mu Online’s game share has increased slightly since the new server update, and it continues to this day. As a result, the ranking of the 4th stage has risen and is currently at the 38th place. Since it is an event that has all the rewards that will allow you to grow rapidly and establish a stable position in the future, it is expected that the current trend will be maintained even after the opening of a new server.
DK Online, which had been pushed out of the 50th place for a while, has returned to the 49th place. It is thanks to the EOS server that was updated on the 25th. In commemoration of the addition of a new server, DK Online has prepared a variety of fun things such as growth support events, siege competition events, and ranking events.
This new server appeared about 7 months after the Hyper server opened in August last year. While Hyper Server has provided rapid growth and server relocation after the end of the season, this EOS Server provides enhanced security through phone authentication and automatic program access blocking.
As it is a new server that everyone can start on the same line, there are a lot of participation from new and returning users, and users who played games on the existing server are also continuing to challenge to become the best server. Both game share and usage jumped more than three times from the previous week, and considering that it has been in the rankings for a long time at the time of the last new server event, a similar pattern is expected to continue for this new server.
