Interesting stats from my blog

After the reset it seems more and more players from China, Korea and Japan have been joining Maris.
However checking the stats on my blog after a recent heated discussion on merchant chat I found China viewed the blog very little, it wasn't even on the top 10 country views. In Maris over the last month China is placed 6th on views. More interestingly is Russia was never in the top 10 in Gama with very little views but it now placed 1st place above US over the last month, and are placed 2nd in all-time views. The top 10 all-time country views are as follow:
So it seems Maris currently have players participating from Russia and China a lot more than in Gama. Could be due to some IP blocks on countries which I believe (but hasn't been confirmed) that there are no IP blocks on any countries in Maris.
As for the heated discussion about the game is dead and some really bad/toxic comments in chat please relax with that. You only need to sail around to see a lot of low-high lvl players with Chinese/Korean names, a lot of the players we have now probably won't have Chinese etc resembling names. A lot of this is assumption of course but I know of some Asian players myself are playing on Maris now.
The players in Maris are still growing so comments like PvP is dead isn't justified, players are still grinding, working their way up to be in a good position for PvP or it's simply end-game/uninteresting for some players. I will agree that the playerbase is smaller than in Netmarble days but being toxic in chat or doom-saying is not going to help, also the doom-saying has been going on for 6 years or something like that? That kind of chat in world/merchant chat can put newbs off the game.
About the server reset also it isn't all bad. I honestly thought it would be years to be in a position I had in the end of Gama in terms of skills, lvls, ships, the option to craft, nanban, PvP etc but I'm pretty much there already. If anyone is still struggling with lvls, the ability to skill grind etc I will try and help. I can have Oslo/Hamburg AFK days like I used to, invite players to fleet so they can grind handicrafts/casting alot more efficiently. I can help with trade lvls, also ask your company too if any of them nanban trade, you sell their goods, and return the money to the nanban trader. If you need an FS ship building post here in the comments and I will build it for you. As Disney-fied as this comment maybe :D we need to help each other and not troll/posion chat.

Please no drama, name calling or calling players out in the comments.

As far as the reset, I am actually better off now than I was before the reset. I still need a few items or a ship or so, but overall better off.
There really is many people that are happy to help teach others and be very helpful.
