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:

United States

19547

Russia

7458

Canada

3737

United Kingdom

2446

Germany

1817

Singapore

1766

Brazil

1040

Indonesia

984

France

807

Netherlands

778

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.

http://uwomarcos.blogspot.com is my blog on nanban trading/rare item plundering which comes with video tutorials.

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

    Yeah, I recognized some players from Japanese or Korean server ,but it's nice to see them able to play on this server.

    Nice post Marcos. I honestly feel the player base, the CA's, and the GM's, are better than ever before. I like the fact Papaya isn't all up in people's faces censoring every little thing, and that the CA's are friendly and knowledgeable. I feel bad so many of my former company mates and friends just don't have the time to put back into the game. But that's life. If I had the time I would put together a marketing plan to target older gamers (30+) and show them how great of a casual game this is , especially for those who love history.

    Nice stats there Marco, not to try to hijack Marco's thread but I also have some videos that might help some of the newer and maybe older players on youtube.

    Gama videos

    Maris videos

    I know I don't do much battle type videos but I do hope they help people all the same.

    Also I know quite a few others like Gazi also post youtube videos which might be useful.

    It would help a lot to get the game advertised or back on steam.
    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.

    I see people saying over and over that the game is dead or dying...but like you guys, every time I log in I see tons of people online. Not just a few people with a bunch of alts, but actually lots of people sailing around, exploring, battling, trading...having fun. I do think that Papaya should get UWO back on Steam to help get some more people, but I think the game is in great shape and still a lot of fun to play!

    @schro69 thats good news Papaya is doing things right.  Steam would help a ton but this time they should implement it DIRECTLY with the papaya launcher like seamlessly and flawlessly.  That would certainly increase people id also like to see 

    Ads for this game on websites and Social Media 

    Papaya's other games should give incentives to play this game like...get free "what ever" in blackrock if you log into UWO and make reach lvl 25/25/25. 

    Get +10% papaya play coins when you purchase if you play more than 10 hours in an additional papaya play games


    If you make a good product and people are happy and you make good LONG TERM decisions you cant fail :D
