When I'm playing Runescape, you can always see the total amount of people in all servers, as well as the number for each server (it's important to know this because you can't enter full ones)
Because of the way Maple works, showing server numbers isn't even necessary. However, this game has been getting emptier and emptier. Broa has ch1 at 2/3 full outside of peak hours, and it wasn't like that last year. It takes a pineappleing x2 event to make Yellonde's ch1 past the minimum point, while last year it was always past minimum point, even during school hours.
I think even the gold farmers are quitting because they realized that all the profits in Maple come from selling hacks, which doesn't require hundreds of accounts to do so. All the Maple bots are just leaving now while Runescape gains bots indefinitely (it'll probably reach 250k online again by December if there isn't a 2nd bot nuke).
Is there a way to see exactly how many people are playing Maple during:
10 am est on weekdays (school hours AKA dead hours)
6 pm est on weekdays (peak hours)
Weekend afternoon (slightly higher than peak hours, varies)
x2 event (even higher than peak hours)
All during May? Summer break screws up the "dead hours" completely.

As of the time of this post, Runescape has 125,975 online.
Also, I heard somewhere that the highest Maple ever got was during the big bang hot time, which was 96k. Demon Slayer hot time was only like 60k-80k or something, and the typical x2 is (what I assume to be) ~40k online.
Yup, dying game. Needs more meso making methods that aren't "hur dur lemme get my hax" or throwing next month's rent at the game.
There's like over 150 ways to profit in RS. Maple only has like 8, and they're all done to death so they profit pomegranate now.

That`s rather sad. What`s worse is that many or most of those could be bots, because there are plenty of maps with a bot in every channel.

I always like looking at the lowest servers population.
Today's winner is - Arcania - 267 people at this time
Ch1 - 123
Ch2 - 11
Ch3 - 13
Ch4 - 6
Ch5 - 5
Ch6 - 12
Ch7 - 9
Ch8 - 10
Ch9 - 6
Ch10 - 5
Ch11 - 13
Ch12 - 5
Ch13 - 14
Ch14 - 8
Ch15 - 3
Ch16 - 5
Ch17 - 4
Ch18 - 4
Ch19 - 4
Ch20 - 7
It must be nice training there. Nobody to ks you... Then again, you would have to rally together like half the servers active population for a PB run or something.

Zenith isn't much better. I think the number of CHT runs (with drops since glitch) may still be in single digits. It's all good since every server has a godly Mercedes to solo PB

Those three could be anywhere... ANYWHERE.
No really, this is terrible. In Runescape, f2p worlds are the emptiest they have been. None of them went below 150.
WoW probably has like over 300k online during peak hours or something, but they have like more servers than Runescape and work the same way as Maple's servers, so it's hard to keep track.

The thing is. Runescape is not even in the same ballpark as Maplestory. Runescape is browser based. People can play from anywhere, on any computer, with no hassle.
Maple is not that convenient.

WoW, SW:tOR, Diablo 3, and GW2 require buying a CD, something that Maple doesn't Require. All 4 have more players online during peak hours than Runescape.

It consists of decrypting, which is against the rules here to discuss I'm assuming.

Well this point is skewed.
All of the games you noted have multiple versions (Well, I am at least 100% sure on WoW...and probably D3.) and you are comparing them to Maple. If you are going to go worldwide, MS probably beats out 2 or 3 of those.

REALLY bad time to check how many people are actually active and online. Diablo 3 just came out, Im pretty sure the avg is rather around 40k D3 just stole 20k people for now  .

Nope. Not explicitly in and of itself anyway.
And not at a high level for most things.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.

In broad strokes, that's what the server sends in order to generate the 'server load' graphs that you see on each channel. So you just need a client that's willing to report them to you.
