The success of Lost Ark was evident during its first days, due to the records it managed to achieve with its immense number of simultaneous players, although it also caused eternal queues to access the game. Today this situation has relaxed a lot and even more so after the latest measure implemented by Smilegate.
Last week he dropped that he intended to carry on a massive wave of bans that would affect the bots that inhabit the game. He already anticipated that it would be the most gigantic wave he had made so far, and boy has it been, because it has been noticeable considerably in the number of active users.
In the data provided by SteamDB it can be seen how seven days ago a peak of more than 718,000 players and since then the figure has plummeted, reaching a point that remains at an average of about 260.000 personas playing this free-to-play MMORPG. So yes, it shows that the bot removal has taken effect.
This situation is supposed to achieve a better environment on the servers, since bots are still something very hated by the community and that is why Smilegate has hit the table so hard. At the same time, it is to be expected that it will now be easier to access the servers, although now it will be time to see if the bots return to the load or not.
