  "Pearl Abyss Claims 230% Increase in New Daily Players"
  
  Me: What are the actual numbers though?
  
  PA: 230%
  
  Me: No, the ACTUAL numbers, not the percentage.
  
  PA 230% -starts walking away-
  
  Me: 230% doesn't mean anything without the numbe...... wait, where are you going??

  It means something, just not precisely so. More new players is better than the same or less.

  Agreed, but then again if they actually just posted their player numbers and concurrency they wouldn't have to "claim" anything expecting people to take them at their word on faith. It's funny the bullshit PR games these studios and publishers like to play.
  

  
  That would be nice, but also something MMORPG companies don't do much anymore if at all. I don't see PA wanting to spearhead a return to that.

  I am pretty sure BDO was on sale during Steam's WInter sale for only a buck or two...Also the language doesn't say "new players" it says "new daily players"...This industry always twists and distorts to make it sound greater than it is because they know this attracts people to their game.

  From the steam launcher:
  
  15,644
  playing 5 min ago
  
  15,644
  24-hour peak
  
  It is still fairly popular. I was playing before with similar numbers and the world felt alive with players everywhere.
