the new year has just begun and we feel it's the right time to share some statistics with you that should make us as a community feel very proud.
In the last couple of days and considering 15 years since the the release of Age of Empires II, we are pleased to announce that we have broken several records regarding the number of players online. The last one took place on w/e 4th of January 2015, when Voobly registered 2613 unique players online (hourly resolution).
The AoC usage chart below shows New peak active usage record set this weekend. Note this chart only shows peak concurrent users, the monthly active accounts are well over 50,000+
But that's not all.
During the last record, the New Player Lobby had over 1000 players online and no less than 200 active game rooms, which urged us to increase the number of rooms to 250 in the NPL.
At the same time, apart from the 200 active rooms on the NPL, the Medieval Siege Lobby and the Custom Scenario Lobby had 237 active rooms combined.
This means that altogether almost 450 multi-player AoC games were running / hosted at the same time.
We would like to thank everyone for contributing to these impressive numbers, but let's not stop here: Let's keep bringing more friends to this game, let's talk about the live streams, about the tournaments and about how much fun this game is. Let's make sure everyone knows this game is still alive and kicking! 8-)
We can use everyone's help to continue to grow! Without you the users, there would be no Voobly.
Thanks everybody,
The Voobly Team
