Great question!. The amount of people playing varies based on several factors:
This is the biggest: Game updates! The more updates we do the more players we have playing at once time (industry people call this “Daily Average Users” or DAU). We are deep in development of a new game so all of our creation focus is on the new game. We have a Halloween update (free vanity items) that will be out this week, but we have not done significant updates to the game since patch 3.0.
Device platform: Android vs Apple vs Amazon. Android is our largest player base at just over 10 million downloads (including China which we cannot track in normal channels on our end). Followed by Apple then by Amazon.
Time of year. Holidays see a larger influx of new players for us as well.
Hopefully this gives you some insight to how many players have tried our game! DQ is primarily a single player game and we are very proud of what we have accomplished with this game. We hope our current players enjoy our new game and that we are able to pull even more players to play our game to enjoy all the hard work we are pouring into multiplayer and gameplay features.
