WoT Online Player Count Comparison: WG vs Lesta After Major Patches

source

Peak online on RU is around ±20 MSK, while on EU it’s around ±21 MSK (simply because most EU cities are -1 hour).
It would be silly not to include ASIA and NA in the totals.

We take a 14-day period after the patch for comparison.

1.26 EU (September 4 – October 16, 2024)
• Peak online: 152,634
• Average online: 65,308

2.0 EU (September 3 – October 15)
• Peak online: 286,868 (🔼61%)
• Average online: 115,890 (🔼55.1%)

2.0 ASIA (ignoring the fact it launched on the 1st)
• Peak online: 24,436
• Average online: 11,714

2.0 NA
• Peak online: 26,948
• Average online: 12,285

Total across three servers:
• Peak online: 338,252
• Average online: 139,889

1.29 RU (September 11 – October 23, 2024)
• Peak online: 212,288
• Average online: 108,760

1.37 RU (September 3 – October 15)
• Peak online: 210,038 (🔽1%)
• Average online: 103,589 (🔽4.87%)

📊 Peak online comparison for yesterday (EU vs RU):
• 💥 229,330 VS 199,986

*Online charts may have a small margin of error, as they are unofficial.
*Percentage comparisons are made relative to last year.

📝 No matter what stories you hear about who gained or lost players, if we compare the two GREAT PATCHES and their growth relative to last year, 💥 WG (🔼61%) clearly outpaced Lesta (🔼12.47%).
Even yesterday’s online numbers are still higher for WG. Final conclusions should only be made after the patch ends and the freebies stop.

But to be fair: when comparing newbie bonuses between WG and Lesta, they are roughly equal — except Lesta will keep theirs for several years, while WG’s giveaways will end soon.
As for veterans, well, they’re not really loved — they’ll have to make do with events

  1. The only thing this patch did “better” is that now >70% of the team in tier 10 battles are APSOLUTE retards with gift tier 10 tanks. Instant win/loose are regular now.
    Random was a zoo always, but this magnitude of animal running free, NEVER.
    Screw all the free stuff, fatigue with the useless MM is too real now…

  2. WG surpassed Lesta, but due to age. But honestly, Lesta is much better simply because they removed the +2/-2 MM and the +15/-15 RNG. If Wargaming doesn’t make the same changes as Lesta, the game will tend to lose players quickly.
